What's your motivation to give up sugar & sugary things?

Update:

Cavities don't bother me, but I do want to give up my addiction to sweet stuff. Problem is that I am able to stay off it for a while, but after a few days, the sugar carvings come back.

    There's no motivation involved. I simply don't like overly sweet things anymore. A hint of sweet is fine, but candy, cake, sugared fried stuff, nah. Those things simply don't taste good to me now. People's palates change. So, if a person did have motivation, then I would suggest they change their snacks bit by bit. The sugar tooth does go away over a period of time.

    Cavities, weight gain, diabetes...

    " The tendency to get type 2 diabetes is mostly inherited. That means it's linked to the genes people get from their parents. Still, eating too much sugar (or foods with sugar, like candy or regular soda) can cause weight gain, and weight gain can increase a person's risk for developing the disease"

    The extra 70 pounds around one's mid section should be motivation enough.
