Update

Hi all-
Amy, those competitions sound cool....you are among the most motivated people I know so I'm sure you can do it.

The sugar-free thing is going well. It's totally easier than I thought it would be and I'm almost halfway! The biggest thing that has helped me is chewing gum. I know that sounds lame, but I'm so used to having a treat after a meal... having a piece of fruity gum has helped to curb that little craving. Having a piece of fruit has helped too.

Now, how many more days until Feb. 1?! ;)
