Okay, so I feel I have a pretty unhealthy obsession with sugar and delightfully delicious sweets. I think about dessert constantly, it is one of my ultimate weaknesses. I LOVE junk food of any kind though, and do obsess about it far more than I should, and far more than is healthy. I understand that craving sweet and sugary foods, or any sort of junky foods is relatively normal on occasion but I literally think about them constantly, at least several times a day. Maybe I need a life to distract myself from the only enjoyment I can really think about, which is currently food. I can’t stop thinking about eating, it’s basically the only thing I look forward to every day.
Now I’m not exactly overweight but I believe I could stand to lose around 6-12 pounds or so to be a more “ideal” weight. I know I’m not overweight, but I do feel a little too fat right now. It’s not a HUGE difference, and even if it is just a number and I think reaching that would make me feel better, even if just psychologically. It isn’t even just about the weight though, I don’t think all this junk food in edition to completely unbalanced eating habits can be healthy for the body and mind. Often times when I eat sweets or junk I will just replace those calories consumed for a meal, or sometimes practically starve myself for a day or two afterwards to make up for it. I could very easily eat an entire cake, a huge bowl of frosting, or a gigantic bag of chips in one sitting. One question I have about healthy eating is does it really make that much of a difference though? I’d like to hear from some people if they can say how much eating healthier has changed anything for them, whether it’s your health, mood, or whatever. I really do want to start eating healthier but I am sooo addicted to junk and sugar. There is also the cost factor, it’s hard to eat healthy when you are completely broke.
Does anyone else here have an obsession with sugary and/or other extremely unhealthy foods? If you do or did, do you have any suggestions or insights on how to lessen this problem? And of course does anyone have any tips on how to curb these insatiable cravings? Also, any advice or personal stories would be very much appreciated.
