hello bren,
we all have little addictions,i have with salt in general,and specially junk,bread,and chips.
in fact all these are not addictions,but habits which get stronger and stronger all these years.
we used to eat them,we like these particular foods,and we called them addictions.
one thing you must believe first,is that you CAN do it,you can stop eating sugar and that it’s easy
if you take the decision to do it.
emotuonal hunger comes instantly but real hunger has classifications,
for example you think that you want to eat a bar of chocolate and this thought comes suddenly, and there are many why’s….
maybe because your mind wants to slang.
if you feel emotionally empty
if you feel that you don’t managed your life well and you have plenty of things to do and they’re waiting for you
if you had a divorce etc etc
or simply if you created this urge/habit by yourself,many years ago,and this is now difficult to let go.
you have to find the reasons that you eat chocolate emotionally and usually.
cover up your insecurities or your fears or emotional emptiness, try to replace them with other good emotions or actions and not with sugar.
because sugar except of can cause you health problems,can’t solve your problems.
thanks,good luck.
