Thanks high testosterone bro. Your comment made me remember when I was 18ish and would not drink soda, barely eat sugar, wake up to do exercises on the bedroom floor... That was my prime and for a reason. I'll try to go by next month reducing my sugar intake at least and do pushups when I wake up, start challenging myself again.

Take it or leave it but my advice (sometimes I take it sometimes I'm a hypocrite) but tomorrow never comes. Fuck next month. There is no reason for you to wait to eat less sugar. If it's a matter of finances, get a head of romaine lettuce and some carrots and much away for a few days. Feel the sugar withdrawal as your body freaks out wondering what has changed and starts realigning those neurons. After a few days of that, a generic slice of sandwich bread will taste like cake. Use that wasted $30 of high sugar snacks and food as motivation to stop eating this poison. If it's purely a waste issue, find the first homeless person you see and give them a big bag of high sugar food. Even if its frozen meals they'll give them to their buddies and use the microwaves at a convenience store and eat like kings for day.

Honestly, a big part of this comment was me talking to myself, but not about sugar. But if it helps you, I'm happy.
