Even before Michael and I discussed starting the Four Hour Body Diet<\/a>, I had already decided I wanted to try and break my candy habit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe candy habit is solely at work. I don’t really keep desserts, candy or treats in my house beyond a few “safe” things (like the 90 calorie Rice Krispie Treats, or 100 calorie Kudos Bars). I’ve gotten into the habit of over-indulging in sweets at work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nIf you are a new reader, here’s the scoop: my office has a CANDY ROOM. An entire room dedicated to things to snack on. It’s the worst. I hate it. I have a strong resolve and can pass up snacks and sweets at home but at work it’s in my face 9 hours a day, tempting me. You see photos of it HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Right now it is stocked with the usuals PLUS Easter Candy in spades. It’s ridiculous. And I’ve gotten into the habit<\/strong> of eating candy every day at work. It’s time to break that. Not only is it a bad habit to have, it’s also unhealthy. Especially considering that sugar is my enemy when it comes to weight loss.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nTherefore, I decided that the last week of April would be sugar free. Partly to break the habit of snacking at work, and partly to prepare myself for the Low Carb\/No Sugar diet Michael and I are going on.<\/p>\n
