Hiya from South Africa. I am a sugar addict.

Options
I gained lots of weight after I stopped smoking nearly two years ago and also after I had my bariatric surgery reversed. Got rid of those problems and have a whole new problem. I am addicted to sugar now. In the beginning I did not realize that I replaced cigarettes with sugar, but I obviously noticed the drastic weight gain. I smoked for 25 years and because I found it so difficult to quit, I cut myself some slack and was not disciplined with my eating habits in the least. I joined 11 days ago and could not manage through one day without refined sugar and too much of it also. The bariatric surgery helped me to keep my weight under control but it caused other health problems until I had no choice but to reverse it. I am therefore not use to eat healthy foods and I am struggling with my weight. Your support is much appreciated and any advice and tips on what works for you.
