Going without sugar is not hard per say. The trouble comes in the little things that you enjoy each day.
This weekend I had opportunity to eat the following items that I enjoy very, very much:
Waffles - (the syrup on the waffles, I don't eat waffles without maple syrup)
Cheesecake - (this was the worst because everyone kept eating it in front of me)
Honey - (for some reason, I only enjoy chicken nuggets dipped in honey)
Wedding Cake - (who doesn't eat wedding cake at a wedding?)
Finally, I want to leave you all with a little visual representation of the amount of sugar that we eat in a regular day. Some of these are surprising (the Orange Juice), some of them are not (the Cinnabon).

I'm very impressed that you've done so well! Try not to binge TOO much on Sunday :)
Actually the singles ward I was attending when I got married was on a month long sugar fast. Which meant a good twenty or so people didn't eat cake at my wedding!
Jessica, that is one of the saddest things ever. I would break it and pig out on cake if everyone else was doing it.
Why would they do a sugar fast? That's a weird choice for a ward to do collectively.
Eric, no one ate cake at the wedding when we got there. Just the cheesecake, which is gross anyway. I hate cheesecake. If you saw wedding cake you were lucky. I couldn't find any. The meatballs were too exciting for me to look for cake. I'm very proud of you though.
