Like many people, I was sugar-addicted for years. I ate sugar all
the time and found that, once begun, it was quite difficult to stop.
If I had anything sweet in the morning, then I’d yearn for more sweets
in the afternoon and then, again, after dinner. It was ridiculous,
really, but I couldn’t help myself!
I noticed that I was moody and anxious without really knowing why. I became irritable and found myself snapping at my friends and family. I lost my temper easily and I realized that I was feeling worn out and falling ill frequently. As I observed these symptoms in myself, I also was observing similar symptoms in my clients.
Along with the symptoms I noticed in myself, they suffered with chronic fatigue, bloating, constipation, and skin problems. I searched for a common thread that might explain all those shared symptoms. The common thread was sugar. They all described their unquenchable craving for sugary foods and how difficult they found it to overcome those cravings. READ MORE
Hi Nancy, I am a sugar addict and feel the way you describe above. I have been aware that my sugar addiction is doing nothing for my health but I have been unable to stop myself so I am going to look at your free report in a minute.
One of my worst things has been chocolate!! However only this last few days, I have been reading a book that says that chocolate has chemicals in it that mimic emotional states in us. I have been eating chocolate for comfort for years now. But maybe I am seeing my actions in a different way, having read that book. Because if its true, then the chocolate I have eaten so often has actually been CAUSING my emotional states and the "high" I have been getting from it has been simply, an adrenalin rush! Have you any knowledge of this? Can it be true?
Best Wishes.

Hi again, I am sat here now, craving sugar! I am going to a garden centre this afternoon and I ALWAYS have a coffee and cake when I do that. Cant go into town without having a coffee and a cake or go to the petrol station without buying chocolate. It has gotten to the stage where I am not interested in regular meals and just nibble on chocolate and sweets and cakes all day instead! No wonder I am so heavy and tired and lethargic. Plus there must be other health problems too. So I am going to try and do without my cake at the garden centre and stop nibbling in between meals too as well as stop eating fatty meals and junk food. Thats another issue for me. Really my eating is, and has been, well and truly out of control!!
