I have always been a junk eater so goodness knows how I've stayed pretty thin most of my life, but it is catching up to me. I have heard there is such a thing as "sugar addiction" and that if sugar was just introduced today, it would be considered a drug. I believe I am seriously addicted to sugar and I don't know how to stop. I will take a healthy sandwich to work, some fruit and maybe a sugar free jello. I purposely take healthier foods and the cravings get so strong, I will actually leave work, get in my car and drive to a convenience store for cupcakes, etc. I eat junk everyday and I can't stand myself already. I am gaining weight and am lucky that I've never been over 145 I believe but that's alot for me as most of my life I was about 120, 123 max. Not just for the weight, but sugar is bad for your mood, your skin, your overall health, but I think I seriously am addicted and don't know how to get it out of my life, it's in everything! If anyone has dealt with this, I'd appreciate some help. I know I sound like a wimp, but the cravings and urge to eat junk is overwhelming. I never did a drug in my life so this must be how an addict feels
