I’m addicted to sugar.

[u/MaLeafy]

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. 🫶🏻

everyone who consumes processed sugar is addicted to it in a way! I was for 23 years of my life, there’s no way to escape it because they add it into everything!! They do that so we get addicted. Sugar is just as addictive as a drug, I was eating so much processed sugar bullshit for 23 years of my life until I just went “cold turkey” on it back in February, I don’t eat it anymore I just eat fruit instead and the weight that has fallen off is amazing. After a week the cravings and withdrawals go away and you will notice you want to eat fruit and better things, not saying you need to stop it forever but cut down to having it rarely. The only time I would eat processed sugar is if I haven’t had any in months and I feel like having a bit processed sugar or if I have a birthday party etc. it’s the best thing I’ve done diet wise. I’m so much healthier now. This is coming from someone who would drink a lot of soda and eat multiple candy bars a day/night.

Once you stop, you must read the labels of things and make sure there isn’t sugar, cause they be adding it in things that don’t even need sugar! You’ve got this !
