It may seem like a long time, but you'll get through it before you know it.
Sugary foods are packed with calories and fats which simply are not good for your health, although they're quite addictive.
In moderation, it's not going to hurt. Just don't overdo it.
Things you can do to prevent getting the sugar cravings, are;
*Exercise.
*Don't keep sweets etc in the house. If your parents buy them, ask them not to get them for you/hide them etc.
*Eat naturally sweet foods.
*Don't skip meals, but reduce food volume if you eat too much, as it's known to trigger sugar cravings.
*Eat dried fruit/fresh fruit.
*Chocolate with 70% coca solids - if you must.
Remember, you don't have to totally cut it out straight away if it's too hard for you to do.
and you probably will feel like giving up within the first two weeks.. but in the end, remember, it's worth it. and you'll feel better about yourself, physically and mentally.

If you still feel like you need more, distract yourself by doing something else. Read a book. Listen to music. Call up a friend. Anything really.
