Depends on the kind of sugar... its kind of complicated... but for the most part if its a fruit with the skin on breaks down differently than white sugar... obviously strawberries are better for you than sour patch kids... as a sugar addict I was given a book on it and it talks about how sugar breaks down and which ones…

I recently read The Kind Life and I really want to try the Mochi waffles... I LOVE sweet breakfasts too but flours (of all kinds) aren't the best for me... so any other "sweet" breakfasts out there?

Someone suggested Amy's to me yesterday. They even have a diet plan (though I'm not sure how sustainable it is and I'm sure expensive), their plan is similar to Jenny Craig or Nutra Systems. They even have vegan entrees, I think they try to use as little preservatives as possible. I also hear everything is organic and…

I don't know if its the most healthy veg dish, but I have issues with some meats too and have been experimenting. I take a can each of blackbeans, corn and tomatoes fry them up with taco seasoning (I don't use oil just the water the seasoning requires and try to find the can of each with as little salt as possible).

I don't wish to appear to be advertising. I'm not the whole way there to kicking the habit but am making progress. Good luck, Angie

Thank you for being a caring adult! I had similar issues at that age. I was experiencing a lot of depression. My parents took me to therapy and that very very much helped. Unfortunately my dad was laid off and it only lasted for a year... I was sexually abused and that's why I did it. I was definitely binge eating at 8. I…
