easy way to cut out a lot of sugar

I've been feeling...squishier. not happy with how I look. I'm exercising but it didn't seem to be helping a lot.

I'm eating well... whole grains, high fiber, veggie protein. Not really cheating, or so I thought.

but I just went through just what I have in the morning, and I found easily 50g of sugar and extra calories that I can cut out without much hassle.

Coffee with flavored cream for example. I need a lot of the flavored cream to mask the taste of the coffee. Switch that to green tea, which I actually like and don't need to add anything to, and I've already cut probably 16g.

My activia yoghurt, which helps my stomach not be in pain, but I get the same results from taking acidophollis (sp?) on its own, virtually no sugar and no calories, compared to the 17g in activia.

My soy milk. If i switch to plain soy milk, instead of vanilla, i cut another 10g or so.

Now make my cereal a normal amount of cereal and not a huge portion, and not completely covered in berries, and i've already cut calories and sugar.

I think if I clean up my mornings, I will do a lot to help with the squishiness and sluggishness I usually feel during the morning.

that's a whole lot of sneaky sugar that I don't need to be eating. eek!
