Has anyone broken a sugar addiction?

[ohgillian]

I was reading another thread (on TB) where the girl said she is addicted to sugar. I am totally, completely addicted. I wish I weren't. I think I would physically feel better if I weren't.

Has anyone given up sugar and have success stories you want to share?

If it's relevant, my motivation isn't weight related; I'm typically in the low-normal to normal range for my height. My motivations are: general physical feeling, wanting more energy, hoping it will help my immune system.

actually, yes.

But completely unintentionally. My adderall makes me not want to eat, so when I do eat, I only eat healthy stuff since I don't care anyway.

I used to have a serious, major sweet tooth- and for about 3 months now, I can't tell you the last time I had candy. I dont crave it at all, even on days I dont take the adderall.

Still need to work on the carbs/bread. I feel sick if I dont eat them.

I tried...I'm too weak.

I can't imagine giving up fruit or are natural sugars ok?

I have not. You might post this on the H&F, there's one regular I know of who has and a few that could provide insight as well.

Oh, thanks. I always kind of forget about the other boards....

To the PP who asked about fruit, I was thinking more of refined sugars. But who knows.
