Five years ago, I was pondering healthy eating. Was I eating a good enough diet? I'd read a lot of blog posts about giving up sugar. It seemed to be a hot topic. At first, I closed my mind to the idea of not eating sugar. I found a dozen reasons why I couldn't do this. But gradually, I became more open-minded. I got to the point where I felt I could indeed survive without all my favourite sugary treats.But what about my family? Would they be open to the idea of giving up sugar with me? For, of course, I couldn't just announce, "We're all giving up sugar!" and then expect everyone to fall in with my plan.
