This is the one time you will have to rely on your will power. Once you have purged your system, usually takes a week or two, of sugar, your cravings will start to go away. In the meantime when you feel like having a sugary snack, walk around the block, get on the computer and surf the web, start a good book, anything to distract you and get your mind off the sugary stuff. Remember some fruits are full of natural sugar and can be just as addicting as the sugary snacks. Stick with all the "berry" fruits, bananas, kiwi, pineapple etc. Good luck!!

According to the law you are the absoute dictater over your children. Now if they were addicted to heroin then it would cause them extreme pain to not let them have any. Could you cause that or just keep giving them heroin. First you need delicious fruit to give them, not the cheap stuff.
Offer pieces of avocado, strawberries, blueberries and whatever tastes great, not OK. Otherwise they can eat nothing. They have a serious addiction. A 4 year old girl on TV was addicted to fast food and she weighed 140 pounds. If you need to, explain that if they keep eating this way it will cause you to die.
Diets do not work. 99% of people gain the weight back. No one teaches the animal what to eat and what not to eat. He knows instinctively what to eat. Humans also have the same instinct. The way it works is just eat whatever tastes good and that will be healthy for you and non-fattening. That is why a baby tastes everything. So again whatever tastes good, is good for you. This is why you will spit out spoiled milk.
But wait!!! Man has the technology to create rat poison. It tastes like healthy food (good taste) but kills the rat. So man has done that to you. Note-- any food unaltered by man (uncooked) that tastes good, is good for you. So if you are stranded in the woods, that is how you know what to eat (cooking changes that). So man has created fake fruit. It tastes like fruit that exists in nature but it is terrrible for health, addictive and fattening called sweets.
So it is natural to like real sweets called fruit, like a baby does, but they have fooled you just like the rat. But they do not want to kill you. They want you to become obese so you will buy lots of their foods. This is called GOOD BUSINESS. Remember the above (not on site) and see site below to re-learn how to eat so you can be thin and fit for life.
