I'm going cold turkey on sweets and white bread.

[Pink Rain Today]

I've been telling myself for a long time now that a little of both is okay, and while I am consuming much less of desserts and carbies, it's still working pretty negatively against me.

For example, on days when I'd chide myself and try to limit, I'd end up accidentally nibbling the equivalent of the bad thing itself.

Doing, after this revolution, I've had two bites of fudge and a tortilla. It works pretty well for me, this concept.

Has anyone else done this before?

The thing about giving something up is that emotionally we feel deprived when we can't get the things we're used to. If you're going to give up something, therefore, add something in its place. Find a new source of carbohydrates -- brown rice, whole grain pasta, potatoes, corn, beans -- to make up for the lack of bread, and then eat the substitutes in slightly smaller amounts. Say, half a cup to one cup at a time. In place of sugary sweets, choose fresh fruits.

Di's tip was a great idea =) and absolutely right.

I want to go cold turkey on bread too, but..it sucks because my parents don't know I'm dieting, so I will have to nibble around them, eek. I think it's going to be hard, but we'll do it together~!!
