Sugar Free is the way to be

This post is to inform you ('cause I know how much you care) that I am going a month without sugar. (this must be the "summer without" because last month I did a week without TV)

I'm going to be just like this lollipop

First I think you need some background: I LOVE SUGAR!!!!!! If anyone knows me, they know that I LOVE sugar! Whenever someone asks me my favorite food I just say "sugar, anything with sugar in it"  people would always say, sugar is bad for everyone and my response would be "actually, my body runs better on sugar" (i guess this month will prove or disprove that theory), i even blog about my sugar addiction HERE & HERE

so, why am I taking on such a huge feat? it may be the 10 lbs I've gained in the last 6 months, it may be that I'm growing up (now that i'm a quarter of a century old), but the last straw was that the dentist told me I have 3 cavities... AGAIN! I have never had cavities in my life, until the last 2 times I've been to the dentist (I'm starting to think maybe my dentist is cavity-fill-happy) but either way he said I need to stop drinking pop (even diet) and I thought, "Why stop there? I should stop eating sugar all together!"

Who would've thought that the dentist, of all people, would be the last straw to trigger such a huge change in my life!?

so here I am... getting sugar free! I'll keep you posted on how it goes, and good recipes along the way :-)
