I can say no, i am not addicted to sugar, but i have been. For the newbs here: I used to binge on oreos with canned frosting....I'm cereal as oatmeal...if that ain't an addict's strut, nuttin is!
I would qualify that only a little bit: eating too much sugar is addictive for me. By all means, I treated it like a drug at first: completely, or nearly so, stop consuming it. I accept that there may be some folks who are the exception, but in general, i feel:
At some point we can...and i think should...teach ourselves how to eat it to be more realistically able to weigh less for the long term.
For example, I know, finally after so much thrashing about, that I can eat some of it without going ape**** by eating all the good stuff first. Grandma was right - finish your dinner before dessert.
How many times I would eat - when I was hungry and in need for good food, mind you - a slice of cake. DUMB...double stoopid in fact. No WONDER I perceived or maybe very truly that i could not stop eating it. I kow so much better now how much harder it is to eat a nice piece of meat and some veggies with good fat all over them and then binge on cake...just does not happen. Furthermore, cake does not even sound good at that point. I must say, I am shocked most of the time how the taste just not key into my psyche like it used to.
