Hi all,
I am struggling with sugar addiction (have been for a long time) especially with the Holidays. My pal and I have been thinking about starting a local support group. Is there anyone else out there?
Hello! š I am in! The addiction is real.
Ill.bring the coffeeway
Just one more donutā¦ itās the last one I promise
Yes its always just that .... last...one
Every time someone mentions coffeeway, I have to fight the urge to jump in my car to get a donut.
It isn't easy
Just one donutā¦one for the walk home, one for when you get home, and that one donut that is that is completely over the line of sugar buzz and makes me fall asleep then wake up in a daze of binge eaten sugar glaze dusted with smug delight. Hahaha
š
I'm out here
I would join
I think a lot of us are in the same boat! With sugar in seemingly everything itās hard not to be. Suffice it to say, Iām in if this comes together!
If anyone can smuggle some sour skittles, hook me up!
Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the āloser,ā and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round. I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world. Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment. When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3Ć5 card reading, āPlease use this M&M for breeding purposes.ā This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this āgrant money.ā I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion. There can be only one.
your funny thanks. you made my morning
I've just accepted that sugar is a part of my life, it's my vice. It's too late for me now, for I am more sugar than man.
The addiction is definitely real. Stress exacerbates my eating disorder. I recently adopted a dog and this is helping me cope a lot (his a really well behaved dog as well). I feel bad restricting his eating and eating like a pig in-front of him, so he keeps me in check a bit. Also I have new outlet of petting him and going for walks to help me cope. I didnāt get the dog to help me, but I knew it would help get my behaviour in check a bit. Itās been going better than expected thus far.
The first step is to give all your sugar to me.

Take it allā¦PLEASE!! I will probably end up breaking-in to steal it back after regretting my decision.
Good luck with that. Iām not going to tell people where I live.
There is a lady on Facebook that gives a course on kicking sugar. Look up I Kicked Sugar!
Thank you for the tip!
Now I am stuck on what to do next! LOL
Discord server?
Discord server would be a great way to communicate.
How does one do that?
Yeaahhhh Iām in.
I have more of a food addiction that lucky doesn't include sweets, just shit load of other shitty things for my body.
Iāve been working with the HDH bariatric center. The Dietitian said that people can get carb cravings, especially in the evening, if they havenāt had enough <protein intake) during the day. She recommended 60 to 90 g per day. People can use an app like MyFitnessPal to track this macro.
I went Keto for a year, no carbs, no sugar. Before sugar was my vice, but I found I missed breads, fruits and whole grains the most. I will indulge a bit now, but much less than I did before.

People hate Keto so much, but it cleared my acne, got rid of my bloating, and helped me drop 50lbs. Plus it can reverse pre diabetes. Also my bank account thanks me for eating out less.
But your girlfriend doesnāt.
Anyone a caffeine addict here? Thinking of quitting? Pussy
Caffeine and Sugar addict here, I turn into a zombie if I don't start my day with either of those.
My coffee has to have a coffee before I can function. Neurodivergent though so the caffeine tends to calm and give clarity not necessarily energy.
I diverge similarilly
Hey same. Nice to know Iām not alone!
I have a huge sugar addiction. I just discovered someone who makes candied grapes....they're just like little tiny candied apples...OMG sooooooo delicious!!!!
I cant have refined sugar treats in the house so count me in.
If there was an online meeting (Zoom, Meet, Duo...), I'd be willing. Definitely.

I'm completely addicted to sugar and highly processed carbs. I always assumed this was pretty much everyone, just some people can resist more than me and others?
