I was just reading some e-mails and again ran across this wonderful, heartwarming, unsolicited testimonial, which a member posted to my free, online KickSugar group. It really conveys just life-changing and rewarding it can be to cut out sugar. Just read this eye-opening remark:
“This is the group that enabled me to quit sugar. After many initial struggles, I now find it reasonably easy to stay sugar free.
“I have lost nearly 3 stones [42 pounds] and have been at my goal weight since January this year.
“I also quit smoking cigarettes 4 months ago.
“My family, friends and work colleagues are all amazed that I have managed to do all this. Stopping eating sugar was the key. Losing the weight, then stopping smoking were relatively painless after that.
“I want to tell anyone who is struggling to quit sugar to never, never give up. I binge ate sugars for over 40 years, with accompanying depression and despair. I tried so many different ways to quit, until I found Connie and this group.
“Because I managed to do it, I know it is possible. And it is so worth going through the initial withdrawals. They do not last.
“I get immersed in my busy life, but do not ever intend losing touch completely with you all. Being a member of this group changed my life. Thank you all so much for being there for me, and for being here for others.
Jean”
Gee, Jean, thanks! That was so sweet of you to write this out of the blue!
