So frustrated with myself - Sugar addiction

[Theeasypeasywoman]

I have been trying to lose last 4 kgs long time now after pregnancy. My DD is 4 now and I just can't stop eating sugar. I find myself eating her chocolates if I don't find anything else to eat. Today she asked me why am I eating her chocolates and I just wanted to cry.
I am telling myself today that today is the last day of eating sugar or any added sugar foods and I am going clean from tomorrow. My family has history of type 2 diabetes so I and my brother both quit sugar long time ago ( we are both healthy and its my dad with diabetes) but I slipped up during pregnancy and I just can't seem to stop myself.
I have just decided today that THIS IS IT ! i am done. I am not going to touch any sugar from tomorrow.
Need a hand hold. Any advice will be appreciated. Please tell me how you quit sugar and how your health improved because of it?

I'm quitting starting tomorrow. (I might have eaten a Cornetto and a bar of dairy milk in preparation this evening).

I love sweet things, I have to try very hard not to eat them. Things that work for me: naturally sweet things - mini pickled onions and gherkins, cherries, grapes, apples etc

People will say but fruit is full of sugar but it’s unprocessed and much better for you than a bar of chocolate.

I have options hot chocolate to beat cravings too.

I do also find that the less sugar I eat the less I want. I try to have savoury snacks such as black olives and a mini baby bel.

I drink sugar free cordial too and that helps, I love it with sparkling water.

I also don’t beat myself up if I fall of the wagon, I don’t let a ‘bad’ Friday night turn into ‘I’ll start again on Monday’.
