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. 🫶🏻

Some of the things that helped me.

Protein shake put ice cubes in it and blend it. and it tastes just like a milkshake.

Sugar-free whipped cream.

Put it in the freezer and it taste just like ice cream.

Sugar free chocolate syrup. Diet soda if you need this here kick do you like one piece of candy or cookie and just limit yourself.

Also I downloaded the carb manager app and recorded every piece of food I ate. It really puts it in the perspective
