sugar troubles...

[Guest guest]

Hi all

I've struggled with trying to be an intuitive eater for quite a while now. I

keep falling back into the restriction mindset. I feel quite successful for a

couple days, then fall back into bingeing, then back into the diet mentality to

control weight gain. The thing that affects me the most is SUGAR! When I am

not around it and don't eat it, I eat well and mindfully, enjoy my food, and

feel less anxiety in general. But, it seems like when that temptation is there

I can't not eat it. And then when I give in, it usually ends in a binge, guilt,

and thinking about dieting. This cycle has been going on for several months

now, close to a year, and it is very frustrating. I don't want to waste my life

worrying about sugar!

I've tried moderation. I've tried to 'legalize' it. I went through a cookie

dough phase trying to legalize it, but after I get sick of it I just find sugar

in another form. It makes me feel bad physically, but I seem to forget that

after a few days without it. I feel like it's a drug!

I want to embrace this lifestyle, but I need help over this bump in the road
