Hi

I came here after trying pretty much everything else. Technically I am not overweight, but I was spending most of my waking hours depressed, anxious and criticizing every move. This while obsessing about sweets. How to get them and eat them!!

After 7 months I can safely say that things have improved A LOT for the first time in 30 years. My diet is not perfect yet, but I am healing.

: I'm wondering if I really am
: sugarsensitive or not.

: The reason I think I may be are due
: to the fact that I absolutely love
: sugar! I have to have sugar in
: tea/coffee, I love chocolate,
: especially with a caramel (sugar!)
: filling, dessert is the best part
: of eating out. I used to eat
: sweets/candy ALL THE TIME, I'm not
: so bad now but I still love sweets
: - Last October, I bought a tub of
: Halloween candy all for myself!

: However, I am not fat - I'm actually
: average weight. I'm also not an
: alcoholic (I don't drink alcohol
: at all), and neither is anyone in
: my family (AFAIK). My mother loves
: chocolate and is a bit overweight,
: but that's it.

: But nothing is without cost - for
: some people the cost of eating
: junk is being overweight, so maybe
: for me it's being
: depressed/anxious?

: I'm really hoping I can control my
: inattentive ADHD with this diet.
: Is it possible sugar is the only
: cause or could food additives, etc
: also be the culprit? I've looked
: at the Feingold diet, but it seems
: too extreme for me, this one seems
: much more manageable.
