I’ve been an addict for many, many years but I only realised about a month ago. It crept up on me, until it became a constant unsatiable craving that I just couldn’t fulfil. Since recognising that I’m an addict I have been able to identify the triggers that cause me to relapse, but I’m still yet to find a way to control myself 100% of the time.

My drug of choice is food.

I’m addicted to sugary, sweet foods. Obsessed. Infatuated. All those words and more. When I start feeling a bit stressed I crave a sugar hit. Once I start consuming such a “treat”, I start to relax and can focus on being productive again.

Sometimes I can talk myself out of relapsing by telling myself I need to remain in control of my body, and not give in. I hate giving in with any part of my life, and this is no exception. However, I find that sometimes I am at such a high level of stress that I just don’t care about giving in. I just want that sugary goodness.

So, that’s my confession. Stay tuned for some positive, up-beat posts that say “hey I’ve kicked the habit and I’m now living a happy salad and vegetable filled life”. You may be waiting a long time though.
