Intervention?

How does a person with a sweet tooth get off of sugar? That is the question that I am contemplating.


Everywhere I read about the benefits that athletes derive from going sugar-free and I too would like to "taste" the fruit of this labour. But can I really go all the way? Think of the consequences of such a monumental decision:

• Coffee with only milk
• Cake with only plate
• Ice cream with only spoon
• Apple pie without the pie

Need I continue? What I need is an intervention of some sort for I recognize that my willpower, though strong enough to pull me through an injured, wet, and cold 30k is nothing when facing the sweet sweet stuff of culinary delights.

Oh, wherefore art though willpower!?
Are you made of gummy?
Was Sugar Ray Leonard sugar free?
Can I ever hope to be?
