I try to avoid sugar, though I've gotten worse over the last few months rather than better at avoiding it, but one thing that I would state unequivocally is that some things shouldn't be artificially sweetened. Like broccoli salad. And I've not really ever heard of sweet broccoli before. That just kind of throws me off. I've perhaps eaten it and did not enjoy it very much though.
I'm thinking that I'm going to try again to get off of the potatoes and the sugar. I made a cake last weekend and we still have some, but I think I'm going to go into the "if it's got sugar in it, I don't want it" stage again after we've polished it off. The wedding and the showers beforehand really gave me every excuse to get off of my diet. I need to just quit it already.
(Though each time I go on a more healthy diet, I stay off of something. The first time, it was sugar in drinks. This time, I've been off of sugar in drinks and caffeine. Maybe this time I can stay off of the sugar except in small doses).
