Hi, anybody else addicted to sugar?

Sugar is so sweet and tasty!
I'm almost done with my 1 week detox (no sugar, no caffeine, no wheat and no dairy) and the only thing I miss is the sugar. I have a bag of Lindor's truffles waiting for me, and some fudge in the freezer. I'm going to have to be good when I'm done detoxing though, or the weight I lost will just wander right back.0 -
Sugar keeps me sweet. You wouldn't like me when I'm sugar free!
Actually, I'm not all that sweet even when I have a ready sugar supply, but when I don't have one, I should come with a warning label. Beware of dog. Just replace that last word with the female appropriate term!0 -
Yes I am, I go over on my sugar every day whether its fruit or sweets, whatever. I eat so much sugar.0
-
I love sugar. I tried giving it up at the beginning of my journey and... well, I was so nasty and witchy I could barely stand being around myself. I figure I'd rather have some sugar in my life than to live my life so grouchy no one wants to be around me.0

I hear that I to would eat frosting straight from the can No more though0

yessss, i can drink up to 2 liter of pepsi a day!!! its horrible but apparently not horrible enough to have the will to stop!0

I eat sweets every day... I love love love milk chocolate. I can't seem to go a day without sugar.0

Sugar is in literally everything. It's like crack. Unless you grow your own food or know it's actually organic food, then you'll be getting refined sugars/HFCS.0

If I could use a needle and pump sugar right into my blood stream, I probably would....I have been over doing on the sweets lately and over doing it on carbs in general.0

Hi - I am with you! All I want is sugar!! Getting rid of mine too - until the holiday and all the cookies etc.! it's an uphill battle!! Good luck!0

I am completely addicted to sugar. It is hard but I will be able to kick the habit.0

I do not consume high fructose corn syrup. It makes me sick whenever I have it. I make sure the items I consume don't have it in it (and yes, you can find sugary treats without it!).0 -
I agree the cards are a killer...I enjoy all kinds of bread and pasta, all of it is so great. Sometime I find myself eating the bread from my meal and nothing else and throwing it away. its so sad! Bless us all!0

Uuggghh! I started off on here cutting out all sweets and chocolate, apart from one treat at the weekend and it was actually not nearly as hard as I thought.....however, in the last couple of weeks I've lost it and have started eating more sweets than I really want!! I made fudge and scottish tablet for christmas pressies (both have MASSIVE amounts of sugar in them and I have to give it all away today as I've munched on it continuously since I made it....despite telling myself that I'm not having any more....I just keep going back! Once Christmas is out of the way I really have to just get back on the horse! It's not making me feel so good!!0

I am so addicted to sugar and I am not sure how to beat it! I am open to suggestions0
-
I used to be (loved lollies and anything carby), but I've been doing Atkins for 5 weeks now and I don't miss it at all0
-
If it helps, I have broken my sugar addiction...it was out of control and the more i learned about it the more it all makes sense. Now if i have a bite of anything sugarry it makes my stomach HURT. one bite!!!0

I'm not a sugar-tooth at all. I don't worry about sugar addiction, but... I kind of have a cheese addiction >.>
I could srsly eat a wedge of brie in one sitting. It's that easy for me and I'd still want more!
As to sweets-cravings, I did little swaps. Instead of fruity candy like gummy bears and jolly ranchers, I would crack open a 50 calorie cup of Mott's Country Berry applesauce with no sugar added (sufficiently sweet and fruity). Instead of eating milk chocolate, caramel, etc., I would have 1 square of dark chocolate. Dark chocolate has loads of anti-oxidants and lacks a great deal of dairy-fat that milk chocolate has, but I do NOT overdo it (even though it's easy to overindulge!). Instead of sugar, I use honey. I heard that agave nectar is very good but I have never tried it!
Instead of soda, I drink flavored teas. I've been off of soda for 3 weeks now and I don't miss that stuff!
I have to use a lot of willpower to resist cravings, and it's working so well. If any of you are having trouble, try swapping out one thing at a time: soda for flavored vitamin water or tea, solid dark chocolate instead of milk or filled chocolates, fruit instead of fruit candy, honey or agave nectar instead of sugar!0 -
