Sugar addiction - going cold turkey anyone want to join me?!

[vix206]

I am terrible, I have no self control when it comes to sugary and stodgy foods. It is spiralling out of control now and I feel deprived if I don't have something sweet several times a day; cake, chocolate, sweets etc.

I'm not very overweight but I am carrying a few extra pounds, my DS is 21 months old and I am still BFing twice a day but this will stop before he is 2 and I know I can't rely on breastfeeding weight loss for much longer!

I need to put a stop to it, I've asked my husband for help and I've decided to go cold turkey on all the sugary foods I've been eating. I just wondered if anyone else wanted to join me, or has any tips? I've done this before so I expect I'll feel like cr*p for a few days but I know I'll feel better by the middle of next week!

Hi Karen. I suffer from ibs and bloating too. Not had a single episode in the past 4 weeks

Thats great vix.

I've started following the Zoe Harcombe diet, day 3 for me and no IBS since starting. I am having bad headaches though but think that's the sugar withdrawal. I am missing tea with milk and sugar and bread and jam, that sort of thing, but it's worth it, to feel this much better.
