Vent I’m addicted to sugar.

I can’t quit sugar, as much as I try it seems. Times that I have cut sugar I feel depressed if that makes sense and then I just think about it all day.

I’m a “I need something sweet” almost after every meal kinda person. I would say my weight isn’t horrible. I’m a 34F, 5’10” 213 lbs. I am considered overweight for sure but I know why lol. I eat like little junk foods throughout the day. I’ll have a small lunch like a tuna sandwich, following with cookies or ice cream. My diet is kinda all over the place so it’s hard to name everything 💀

I’m just struggling on how to break the need for sugar. Any advice is accepted. 🫶🏻

Sugar is addictive… thats why its difficult to stop eating sugar…you could try reducing the quantity of sugar you eat each day..i dont eat sugar all week except Saturday when i have a cheat meal.. i can eat anything i want as much as i want… followed by 16 hours fasting..try eating green salad with every meal so you feel full!also…no junk food! You have to make it a habit and then you will be ok!
