Episode 108--Am I a Sugar Addict?

One of the questions I am asked the most is how can I stop eating sugar like you did?\\xa0 That question is one I personally never asked myself because I didn\\u2019t want to give up eating foods with processed sugar. I never thought I would have to do that. I foolishly thought I could just eat less. Friends, if you are a sugar addict, eating less just never works.

I didn\\u2019t know I was a sugar addict. You may not think you are either. But if you are there are definite steps you need to take that are different from just going on a temporary diet to fix your problem.

For the next few podcast episodes we are going to face this subject head-on. I have designed a free sugar addiction quiz to help you understand if you are a sugar addict or not. Link is here in the show notes. In the next few podcast episodes we\\u2019re going to explore this topic and how to manage your sugar intake or stop completely.

You may be like I was and you don\\u2019t really want to know if you are a sugar addict or not. I knew that would mean I would have to give up a lot of foods I grew up with. Those foods came with all sorts of great and endearing memories attached, memories that are highly connected to holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.\\xa0\\xa0

Does Food Control You?

If you\\u2019ve been listening to my podcast for any length of time, you know that at one time I weighed 430 pounds and stayed there for quite a few years.\\xa0

So even though I eating sweets were attached to many fond childhood memories, in reality overindulging in sugar was heading me towards an early grave. A cardiac surgeon had given me five years to live if I didn\\u2019t lose weight and keep it off. And that was when I was still in my 40s.

I coach women who deal with lots of various food issues such as sugar addiction, carb addiction, binging, bulimia, overeating and others. Some don\\u2019t look large because they hide their issues well, but they long to get free of the stronghold that food has on their lives. If you are resonating with any of what I have said so far, you are likely stuck in bondage and don\\u2019t know how to get out. I get it. I was there for way too long.\\xa0
