I hate myself I hate being over weight but I love chocolate and biscuits and cake and crisps. I hate myself that I'm so weak I feel so miserable so very very sad. I love Jellys like the watermelon sweets and Haribos and eat so many of them. My eczema is so severe and it's probably to do with that. A few years ago I lost 4 and a half stone and then put so much weight back on. I went back to class but didn't do well. I count my calories but often and so easily go way way over. I'm so weak if there's chocolate or anything I want it but at the same time I hate myself so much. I am so very very fussy with food too so it makes it harder. I want to lose weight for Health too so why do i still love chocolate, cake, Haribos ,crisps etc I'm very sad very miserable. Thankyou for reading my post.

Don't beat yourself up OP, I'm exactly the same, I'll eat healthy for a day or two and then give into my sugar cravings, I can never stop at one or two sweets or biscuits, I always eat the whole bag and then hate myself. Remember that sugar is addictive so giving it up is hard, maybe try gradually cutting back? Or limit yourself to one sweet treat a day, then try every other day, then every 3/4 days, eventually once a week...month, you get the idea.

You could also try making healthy versions or substituting your sweet treats? Sugar free sweets for example, fruit dipped in chocolate, choose low calorie snacks, there's plenty of options available. You can make your own jelly sweets really easily with fruit juice and gelatin, moulds on Amazon are super cheap and you can make any flavour you like, if you juice the fruits yourself that's even better as many fruit juices contain a lot of added sugar.

Agree with PP. I also try to tune into how I feel after eating all that sugar. I'm now able to self regulate, try healthier options, etc. Smoothies are good as they take awhile to drink. I keep it simple. Fresh/frozen fruit, greek yogurt, high protien milk, or just ice, and you can add protein powder. Most of the time I am needing protein. I try to eat 90 grams of proteina day. Once I have that I'm less likely to go for sweets.
