My name's Ashley and I'm a sugarholic, to the max. Within the past year, it's gotten completely out of control. At first I brushed it off as a sweet tooth, but I finally realized that it is a full-fledged addiction. I can't recall the last day that I went without eating ice cream, and that's no joke. Oftentimes I pick up cookie dough and convince myself I'll make it for my family but deep down I know that it's for me. I need help, big time. It's hard for me, especially when I have the support of my boyfriend who is constantly insisting that I'm perfect as I am.. of course, he was saying that 60 pounds ago. I need to get ahold of this addiction.

I am a sugar addict too. Not only I have constant sugar cravings, I can have huge amount of sweet items and still crave for more. I can easily gulp down 8-10 chocolate cookies and ask for more.

I too am having hard time controlling myself, but am trying to get up every time I fall and start afresh. The only good thing is that I can tolerate artificial sweeteners, and am trying to use them to subdue my sugar cravings.

I know I have to slowly get over this sugar addiction. Baby steps

I am new here and am entering my first day of no sugar. I worry too but as long as we have the positive support around us, we can do it! If you want a buddy, Im here! There are strength in numbers

Dollface- I am a super sugar addict as well. I eat a lot of fruit and I still feel so deprived from sweets. Growing up my family called me the sugar queen.

Nursie2b- NO SUGAR?? Not even fruit and natural sugars?? I would die.

ajowens: I am cutting out refined sugar to see how my body feels. Someone had suggested it in a previous post and I thought I would try it.

Hey ladies...I too am totally addicted to sweets..been living on them for my whole life..now..I am trying to get my hypothyroidism under control and my sugar addiction halted.

Hi ash, I'm a sugarholic too Trying hard to get sugar off my diet but its so freakin hard! I'm totally messed up!

Hey,

What fruits do you take? I mean I've heard that banana's not good, so is apple the only option available? Which ones do you take?

Hey ladies- I'm a total sugarholic, loving chocolate milk and all things ice cream (and wine, eek!). Today I was good, I had a piece of bday cake a lunch (office party) and I went to get another piece but instead had some of the yogurt I brought as a snack.

katie & dollface- i eat an apply everyday, so hopefully they're still good.
