I Have a Serious Sugar Addiction

[WhistlePig]

I start the day by putting a quarter cup of brown sugar on my oatmeal in the morning. Then I usually skip lunch and just eat cookies or have a peanut butter & jelly samwich. I'll have a normal dinner but then scarf down ice cream or cookies for dessert but only after my husband goes to bed because it has to be secret for some reason. I'm not overweight so I'm not sneaking it because of that. I think about sugar all day like I can't wait to get my next "fix."
I do have an addictive personality, and used to drink to excess and do some drugs years ago but not since I've had a baby. Maybe sugar is my drug/alcohol substitute since I can't have any now? I have no idea how I'll ever kick this habit!! I'm lucky my metabolism is high or else I'd probably be as big as a whale at this point.

Your Metabolism may keep your weight down but you run a very high risk of contracting Diabetes. That to me is among the scariest words you will ever hear. You should have your blood sugar checked. Especially if you've had a child Child birth can hasten the start of Diabetes
Not trying to be Donnie Downer its just ot how you want things to go
Sorry

[Midkiff]

[SatCam]

GULP!!! I knew I had to be doing damage. Shit.

On the bright side, the "no meat" thing is probably helping you a lot.

Till Your Suckin Cock for suger its not an addiction....and I know!!

If you have one near you hit up Whole Foods. They have a whole section of sugar free items, cookies, syrups, jams, and a ton of sugar substitutes. I've been trying to cut down on the sugar for a while now and its helped to mix in some of these products.

[Chigworthy]

Just be wary of certain substitutes like sorbitol. They can result in intestinal nastiness.

You have the Same Diet as Saaaaaaaaaaaaam from O&A and more importantly the Than & Sam Show

I stayed away from sugard when I was hardcore dieting. Now I usually sneak some Dark Chocolate M&Ms, those are my weakness

:king:

[buzzard]

time to substitute sugar for something else..like sex...addictive personalities work that way...guess how I know that?:wink:

[Marc with a c]

No, but you could have ejaculate.

[IamPixie]

No, but you could have ejaculate.

that would be a really weird consistency.

You don't know the half of it.

I want to my DR. and got bloodwork done for a full physical. My triglycirides are double what they should be. It is due to MY sugar addiction also. I should be at 150 and I am 300. He said I am a candidate for diabetes or heart attack in 15-20 years.

A heart attack at 57 does NOT appeal to me at all. So you should keep it to a minimum.

One thing I DID do is cut back alot on soda. I drink water more then anything now. And when I do have the occasional soda it is something like Diet Dr. Pepper or Diet slice. it tases just as sweet as Coke and Sprite used to. Since I cute way back on soda it BETTER taste just as sweet.

Try splenda. That cuts back on carbs big time. (and that will help)

Just start eating fruits. Avoid the really sweet stuff for a while, but munch on grapes, peaches, nectarines, apples, oranges, bananas, whatever. I can't stand sweet stuff anymore becuase I stick to natural foods. I even water down my orange juice.

[RoseBlood]

I even water down my orange juice.

I've done that my entire life! Yay! I'm not the only one!
I also do that with grape juice.

blasphemy! You might as well have tang if you're gonna water down nature's most perfect juice. I'm sorry, I'm just very passionate about orange juice.

This is weird, i never understood sugar junkies. When i was in junior high/high school my friend would basically absorb sugar and soda, it was pretty disgusting(not saying you are but she was) and she wasn't fat either, she was very petite.

I personally don't like foods with high sugar content. It ruins the taste of food when it's overused and generally makes me feel like shit, caffeine does the same. I drink one frappucino and it's like i've snorted 10 lines of coke, i'm all over the walls.

I'd say try to cut down if not for anyone but your daughter. When she gets older and you're taking in all this sugar via junkfood etc she's gonna think it's ok to eat like that which might harm her health in the long run too.

Aww I'm sorry Pixie :sad:

The only reason I did that was because we thought I had an allergy to oj but i loved it so much, we started watering it down and it stuck.

I drink grape juice cause it's good for you but it's just too sweet without watering it down.

Do you people have to get worked up about anything revolving around OJ?

[IamPixie]

I made a concerted effort to type the whole phrase "orange juice" to avoid these type of comments.:annoyed:

That's weird. I had bloodwork about 6 months ago and my triglycerides were freakishly LOW - 36! I don't know what that's about.
One good thing is I never drink soda. Only water. (soda doesn't go with cookies and ice cream). I've got to cut out the other crap, though.

It makes me feel like shit, too, but it's like I can't resist it.
I know what you're saying about setting an example for my daughter though I don't eat this junk in front of her and I never feed her crap like I eat. I give her fruit for dessert.

I'm scared to death of diabetes. I think that was the kick in the pants I needed to stop my sugar binges. I haven't eaten any excess sugar today!!

[drjoek]

Diabetes scared me away big time

She chugs it out of the carton.
