[QUOTE="Gudrun, post: 525275, member: 103109"] I am sorry to read that you fell of the wagon with such a loud thud... I confess, I would have been the same if I had tried to have just a little bread. I know that it is easier for me not to have something than to have a little of what I like. We are all different, but I remember once (a few years ago) going without anything sweet (cakes, biscuits, chocolate) for 6 months. Not really missing it, either. Then was invited at a relative's house and she produced some biscuits. I thought I had overcome my sweet tooth and took one. Then another and another. The following day I bought a packet (and eat it), the day after I bought two packets of biscuits (buy one, get one free... I thought, I could restrain myself - buy I eat both the same day). I never got back to cutting out sweet things again until I started on the low carb diet a fortnight ago. I KNOW, if I had one slice of bread or biscuit or cake or chocolate now, I would go back to my old habits. We learn, Diana, and it's like being an alcoholic... for me (and perhaps you) it is easier to abstain completely than to have a taste of something. [/QUOTE]
