Reaching out for some support/guidance as I am at a desperate point again.
I'm back addicted to sugar, this is playing havoc with my glucose levels and rollercoaster of emotions. It all started back after a couple of nights out with friends of heavy drinking, following which being ill, having issues with my hormones due to contraception problems, not exercising and eating all the wrong foods, wanting to inhale my body weight in chocolate, first it was a month, then it was two months and now it's starting to be a third.
I did well last year to lose almost 70lbs and getting my BG levels to almost normal by eating low carb and exercising 3-5 times a week. I even went for a 30 mile bike ride on Christmas Day in storm Barbara!
I've tried a number of times to get back in the saddle before I undo all my hard work and I am failing. I am back comfort/secret eating excessive amounts, commitments I made to myself to lose more weight and complete the swim 22 challenge in a challenging time window are slipping away from me.
I've a lot on at present adding a lot of stress but I know if I wasn't addicted to the sugar/my head in a better space I'd be able to manage these more effectively. I know there is no quick fix for these things and it is all in the head for me but has anyone come across any books, or other resources that have really helped you sort your head out and get a grip once and for all? I can't afford these lapses quite literally, as I have no money!
