I feel deprived if I don't eat something sweet everyday or if I leave the supermarket with no sweet foods - it makes it so much harder to eat right. When I binge, there always has to be chocolate involved. I'm cutting down on the sugar though, even though I wish I could cut it out completely!<br />Take care.<br />Alice xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562281218287648674.post-34533055532785083432012-07-21T04:30:34.991-07:002012-07-21T04:30:34.991-07:00Hey Peri,

I used to slip off to a quiet room with a TV at parties so I could get my fix of an AU. I won't get a credit card because all the money would be gone on M:TG cards and yarn and fibre and BJDs and so many other things.<br /><br />Food can be addictive, and sugar too. Foods high in sugar, things that tasted sweet were one of the forms of quick, energy-dense foods our ancestors could find. We're programmed to seek them out and enjoy them.<br /><br />Look after yourself, ok?

I have a really addictive personality which is why I stay away from a LOT of things. I can't say I have ever been addicted to sugar, though. I've never been able to get to grips with sweet things and it's never been the first thing I want to grab when binging. I guess I am lucky in that sense. But I always seem to trade in one addiction for another.Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16923935451972443052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562281218287648674.post-67172668789027575142012-07-20T22:12:15.166-07:002012-07-20T22:12:15.166-07:00Actually I think everyone is addicted to something...Actually I think everyone is addicted to something... me, I'm also addicted to sugar or most likely carbs. <br /><br />Really good to hear form you, again another part of your life.

And I've heard that scans show parts of the brain lighting up when eating sugar like when taking drugs, so I definitly believe it. There's a releif to bingeing, even if it's very temporary, and with the statistics out about disordered eating, I really do believe that food works as a drug for many people.clytiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716234334665049534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562281218287648674.post-34750871142947422752012-07-20T15:59:32.778-07:002012-07-20T15:59:32.778-07:00Hey Bella, good to hear from you

I crave carbs a lot, because I have issues with low blood sugars, but I don't go overboard. My mum is a diabetic and she has a lot of problems with bedtime eating of chips/cookies/chocolate/muesli bars anything starchy & sugary. So yes, I do think they can be addictive!<br /><br />Hope you're okay<br />xxBellaBellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07544398450025713725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562281218287648674.post-38534866412833430882012-07-20T13:38:02.393-07:002012-07-20T13:38:02.393-07:00Thanks, I'm going to look at those sites right...Thanks, I'm going to look at those sites right now xRuby Tuesdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15078080281794429051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562281218287648674.post-26919607295605556422012-07-20T12:46:33.672-07:002012-07-20T12:46:33.672-07:00Also for got to add that Milk does the same thing....Also for got to add that Milk does the same thing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...Simple answer, yes: <br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_addiction<br />http://www.marksdailyapple.com/is-wheat-addictive/<br /><br />Sugar releases the same brain chemicals in your body that opioids do. It is definitely possible to have a food addiction based on chemistry alone. Sometimes it might only be a chemical reaction, other times the chemical reaction only occurs due to emotional memories of having consumed that particular food.feihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08471804820756213391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562281218287648674.post-59804427801475333312012-07-20T08:00:05.367-07:002012-07-20T08:00:05.367-07:00Thanks Rayya

And like you, when i binge it is for sugary food, or carbs, like bread etc.. so maybe there is truth in it?<br /><br />Also that FAA thing really sounds like an eating disorder.. but i guess that may be me thinking it sounds like an eating disorder as that much control over food is not seen as "normal" by the masses.. however my cousin who is a celiac and diabetic has to weigh out all her food carefully and calculate the grams of protein and carbs.. she in no way has an eating disorder though (i hope)so maybe you are right that you can become addicted.. <br /><br />i hope you are ok ruby, lovely post as usual you really are thought provoking <3<br /><br />much love xxRayyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17119187530625796632noreply@blogger.com
