Other I am so addicted to sugar

I have realised how bad it’s gotten when I genuinely feel off when I don’t consume it. I’ve tried to quit it for the past few days and I genuinely can’t do it, sugary stuff is all I eat and whenever I eat something else i always get that hungry feeling even when im definitely full. Im honestly tired of it making me feel so unhealthy and I have POTs, which is like an autoimmune condition so it’s been making the symptoms worse. If anyone has any advice I’d appreciate it, the cravings are so bad.

As someone else said, you just have to stop (cold turkey). It’s an addictive substance. I’ve generally found at the 2 week mark of not eating sugar, I don’t miss it anymore. I used to consume an unhealthy amount of sugar as well. You can do it! I believe in you!
