Hi,
This is somewhat inspired by some of the questions I've read on other treads and really I just want help as I'm in two minds about everything.
One one hand I want to be able to control myself around food and be able to eat things like chocolate in moderation. I just want to be normal around food with out all the restrictions and stress. I also worry about the example I'm setting my children.
One the other hand, I have tried everything to control my eating and the only thing that has ever worked, whilst keeping me feeling well, is completely cutting out sugar. I made the mistake of reintroducing it last time and went way off track, I'm now back to my starting weight so have put the 30lbs I lost back on. I'm 11st and 5ft 1in.
I just don't know if I can control myself where sugar is concerned. I don't over eat anything else but sweet things are a real issue for me. If I have a square of chocolate I nearly always find myself eating every sugary thing in the house shortly after.
I guess what I'm asking is if anyone has dealt with a similar issue (sugar addiction) and found a way to reintroduce it in moderation with no problems. Or do I need to accept that my issue is with sugar and steer clear entirely for ever?
I think I've been kidding myself about how bad the issue is at the moment and I just want to feel healthy again.
