Sugar addict seeking help

I’ve struggled with binge eating all my life and a serious sugar addiction.

I can’t go one day without a sweet treat but the issue is that it’s not a “treat” but sugar overload. I have tooth ache from eating so much but I still carry on. I’m 29 and there’s a history of diabetes in my family. Hoping it’s not too late to reverse the damage but a small part of me doesn’t care whether I live a long and healthy life.

I’ve read so many inspiring posts on here about the benefits of going sugar free but how do I start? I can force myself to eat relatively healthy in the office with a packed lunch but after work the stress makes me want to eat my feelings. I find myself going to the shops and picking up an embarrassing amount of junk food and chocolate, like I’m on autopilot mode.

I’m not going to cut out carbs but from tomorrow I’m going to try to cut out processed sugar and junk food. Maybe this post will somehow make me feel accountable.
