It all started with this month’s Mom, Interrupted.

I really do love my m&ms. But over time, I have become increasingly aware that, every time I eat them, even a sensible amount (and no, by ‘sensible’ I do not mean ‘one pound bag’) I find myself feeling…not right.

And so I decided that, in honor of this month’s column, I will make a public attempt to not eat any sugar for an entire month. That’s October 5, 2008, at 12:42 p.m.

Not that I’m counting or anything.

But I’ll pop back by to let you know how it’s going.
