Dear Sugar,
First of all I wanted to say, thank you for all the love you’ve shown me this holiday season! You are so sweet! Your generosity makes what I am about to say even more difficult.
I know this may come as a shock but I just don’t think this is going to work out. You may be surprised to hear this considering how well you’ve treated me this month and the fact that you get along so well with my good friends butter, pecan, lemon, and cocoa.
It’s not you, it’s me.
Well, it is sort of you. You’re just so…refined. You can’t provide me with the kind of roughage and color I need from this type of relationship.
I was wrong to lead you on like this, day after day, for the last few weeks. The truth is, it felt right at the time and I really did enjoy your company. But it’s almost 2012 and I need to make a clean break before the new year.
I hope we can remain friends, I just don’t think it’s healthy for me to see you everyday.
Sincerely,
Faith
Hahaha – unfortunately, I haven’t been able to achieve a clean break-up, but have definitely been putting some distance between myself and sugar 😉
I keep trying to break up too. Sugar just keeps coming back.
hahaha sugar is like that badass BF you had that you wanted to break up with but couldn’t, even though he was sweet at times, but overall just a bad bad idea and wasn’t a healthy relationship at all. just me? hmm… 🙂
HA! My husband said “cold turkey?” and I told him that like most break ups there would probably be a few relapses. 😉
ahha awesome, good luck with this break up I’m sure you’ll be just fine without him!
Heh. I broke up with sugar for five years straight once. He’s so seductive, though. Sigh.
this is hilarious! i love it!
hehe… love it!
Priceless!
Good one – well said!
Sugar and I had a big break-up 2 weeks ago, and gluten and a few others I won’t mention. I guess I was having just to many love affairs. Now I’ve taken up with stevia and we’re having a very calm and steady relationship.
Loved your story, very cute!

HA!! I wrote my comment before I read this post!!
I could have written this letter. I wasn’t able to go cold turkey today, but i did so much better after a whole month of crazy indulgence. Here is to moderation in the new year.
I haven’t managed cold turkey either but having some sugar free treats around has helped a lot!
