I am exactly the same. I'm ashamed to say that I have also gone through the bin, gone out in the middle of the night to buy some, and have also bought a **** ton of it and then just thrown it away in disgust.The way I see it, sugar addiction is more dangerous than heroin addiction, and I have told my family to treat me as an addict. The problem with sugar addiction is that it is freely available, cheap and people are pushing you to have it all the time. It's almost rude not to accept a biscuit at someone's house and everyone says, ' a little won't hurt'. What has helped me has been Low carb. The first two weeks were horrendous, cold turkey on all sugar and most carbs and I felt dreadful. The image of Ewan MCGregor in Trainspotting during his cold turkey came to mind several times. However, once that was over, it was wonderful. I felt like a completely new person, perfect sugars, so much more energy and I slept better. I fell off the wagon spectacularly, including getting a dose of nasty old thrush, but have got back on recently and thankfully haven't had the keto flu so feeling great again.You CAN do this, it won't be easy to start with but I always came on here for motivation whenever I was craving. Good luck, and know we are all here to support you when you need it.Merry Christmas.</blockquote>
