This is kind of hard for me to admit, but I am ridiculously addicted to sugar and i knew that’s the reason for my massive weight gain. I’m a 5’1 female and weigh around 166-170lbs. I used to weigh around 135 (goal has always been to get to 125) but I’ve always been an emotional eater and i gained a lot of weight during graduate school
I’m in my last year of my PhD program and I’m really striving to create a consistent plan for myself (ie work, go to the gym, go back to work). Some days I can follow this routine with a really healthy set of meals. I meal plan and try to stick to it..but when iIdon’t, or when I’m not “excited” to eat the foods, I immediately go to sugar (soda, chocolates, ice cream, whatever i can find).
This then spirals out of control. For example, yesterday I binged on kit kat and Reese’s and i I felt so sick afterwards. There’s this lack of self control. I just can’t seem to stop myself. I feel so stupid even typing that up. I’m an adult. I should know when I just need to put it down and stop....but i can’t do it.
I’ve tried cutting sugar completely and that doesn’t work. I’ve tried limiting myself to one sugary snack a week. I’ve tried telling myself I can’t eat any sugar unless someone buys me it/offers me chocolates, (that way i don’t buy it for myself and binge). None of it works.
I don’t know how to get better :(.
