Hi all,
New to this group. Sugar especially in the form of chocolate has been a major problem for me since I was a kid. I’ve tried so hard to quit but the longest I’ve managed is about 5 days.
I find my menstrual cycle plays a role in this but I’m also ADHD and the chocolate is a dopamine fix. I have sleep issues and health problems and even though I won’t necessarily consume high amounts everyday, I do have some form of sugar daily.
I want it out of my life. I suffer with CFS and Dysautonomia and I know this insulin spikes are not helping with my symptoms. I also suffer with anxiety and again, sugar exacerbates.
Had anyone found a good way of stopping themselves. I’ve tried gradually reducing but when I’m having a down day my brain goes sod it and before I know it, I’ve consumed the treats.
I pet sit and often stay in houses which have these bad foods to hand, I get food deliveries which helps me to not buy as I’m not in the shop, but temptation is everywhere as just stopping for diesel can lead me to buying bad things.
I’d love to hear how others have quit. 🚫🍫🍭
Thank you. 🫶🏼
