My Name's Naomi and I'm a Sugar Addict

Sugar is my weakness/drug too but try as I might I cant give it up I dont drink dont eat junk food but chocolate and i have history I cannot eat one square whole bar disappears just managed 1 week with very little of my drug and will try to minimise it too but if I give it up then I binge sad but true good luck with your weight loss I will try to keep on the straight and narrow xx

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!

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!!
