I agree eating sugar laced food is very addictive... I do my best to stay away from that stuff... I do not eat ice cream, or cake, or candy anymore...
I know that it is not very easy to curb the junk food habit...0 -
That's awesome Naomi. I too am a sugar addict. I also have to think about it like an alcoholic. I went 5 months without any processed or natural sugar (honey palm sugar etc...) and then fell off the wagon for a few weeks. I'm back on but during that 5 months I was gluten/grain free but I found myself binging on fruit. I know it sounds healthy but I could eat 4 oranges at one time. My body was trying to find any way to get that sugar. 10 days ago I started a low carb/no sugar way of eating. I'm basically experimenting with what will make my body run efficiently and make me feel great. I don't have a bunch of weight to lose but have always gained easily if I eat crappy. i used to exercise like a crazy person but after 25+years of chronic cardio my body doesn't even respond to it anymore. So I can' t fill up on junk and burn it off.
Please feel free to add me as a friend. It's nice to know someone else is eating no sugar!

Hi Naomi, I'm trying to give up sugar and processed meals, it's very difficult, there's added sugar in nearly all supermarket food. I once read that sugar is "the devil's crystal"0

Congrats on the weight loss!! That is awesome. Keep it up.
For me, sugar is also my drug of choice. A sugar addict to the core. Keeping up with MFP it has helped me, and so has OA (Overeaters Anonymous).
Best of luck to you!!0 -
Thanks for sharing! Congrats on your weight loss and taking time to educate us and yourself on that sugar beast!
Keep it up, all the best!
