ok people, as you may know, us girls especially, like to comfort eat, some more than others, and i'm one of them. I especially like sweet things, the more sugar the better! The thing is, sugar, because it's a simple CHO (carbohydrate) you only get a quick boost of energy that lifts your spirits for a short period of time, then after a little while you plummet to a place lower than before, and despite the fact i KNOW it's the sugar that does this, what do i do...? yup, you guessed it, i reach for the sugar! it's a really difficult circle to break, but i feel i HAVE to do it, before it gets so far out of control and my weight becomes so bad i lose the will to even TRY to shift it. Now, at the moment, i wouldnt say i was fat, but i'm not thin, i'm not even trim, and gyms scare me, running seems pointless, and i dont even want to imagine myself in a swimming costume (blah blah usual female self esteem crap) and on top of all that i have social anxiety, so all in all, it's not a great situ to be in. HOWEVER, i need some help to come up with some alternatives to cure my sugar cravings. I've tried to replace chocolate/crisps with dried apricots, and they do work, but i'm afraid the ones that i like most are the vanilla flavoured ones from sainsburys and, well, i have my suspiscions that they may be dowsed in sugary syrup :/ AND they're really expensiveI've cut out horrendously sugary drinks and just stick to a pint of milk a day and DIET coke or water where possible but when i'm feeling particularly down (like this week for example) i just reach for the choccy biccies and sugary sweets.
Someone help me! I'm addicted to sugar!

As I understand it, regular excercise not only makes you fitter, it also helps you to regulate your nutrient levels and eating habits better.
