I’ve had a few false starts on the road to dealing with my sugar addiction. Ever since I gave up alcohol in 2013 using the Soberistas website, I’ve transferred my addictive behaviour around alcohol to sugar.

I’ve tried a few things – joining groups on Facebook for sugar addiction, changing my diet, joining Noom, and most recently starting to work the 12 steps with a sponsor in Overeaters Anonymous. All paths have led back to sugar binges and each one worse than the previous worse one.

One thing that helped me most when getting sober was journaling in the form of a blog. It was to an online community, but I haven’t found one for this addiction, so here I am: trying to make sense of stuff on my own for the moment (if you’ve found me – hello and leave a comment please!) but will share my blog with people I know on this journey too.

Today has been one unbelievably spectacular binge. I haven’t stopped eating all day. I’ve been hoovering up every last piece of chocolate (my particular sweet nemesis) and have a sugar headache, a poorly tummy, had diarrhoea and am feeling fat and bloated. I weighed myself earlier and I am currently as heavy as I was at 9 months pregnant with my firstborn.

Tomorrow is yet another day one but hopefully the last. Watch this space 😉
