Craving Sweets All the Time

[randy77]

I don't know whats been going on but I can't stop thinking about sugar and sweets. The cravings have been out of control. This has always been my downfall. How do I keep my mind off of it?

I hear ya. I turned to drugs to supress my appetite and I am so sorry that I did. I want to stop.

Sweets have such a power over me as well. It is like snow white's poison apple. Today, I ate one choco cookie, than another, then another...it wasn't even tasting good after awhile. It felt like a punishment, or a self-punishment, for all that i believe that i am not good enough, not worthwhile enough...

I can't seem to know how to be alone and not to be self-destructive by binging and sometimes purging. Inside me, there is such a craving for attention and attentiveness to my fears. But I am equally afraid that all the world's attention would never be enough. I will always be hungry, that I can never run away from myself who is all that I do not want to be.

Introspection like this helps sometimes to put a pause on binging. Writing and sharing my thoughts here in this forum helps, too. Sharing makes me less worthless, and caring makes me feel a bit less alone inside.

Bon courage to all of us. I send you all my heart to you all out there who suffer like I do.
