i've always had this awfully strong passion for sweet things, perhaps from having been raised by a pastry chef and permanently being able to eat embarrassing amounts of sugar throughout childhood. i have always seriously been one of those people who could eat cake for breakfast, chocolate for lunch and candy for dinner,even if it made them feel miserable.
however, even if my sweet tooth was pretty bad before being a vegan, now it's downright uncontrollable.i'm not blaming the diet, in any way, being a vegan is absolutely great but it has brought about many changes in my life and the circumstances just somehow lead to my being a pathetic sugar addict.
when i binge eat , it's almost always something obscenely sweet.preferably both sweet and fatty. or pasta .or rice. you get where i'm going here. no meal feels complete without having something sweet afterwards. if i lived on my own i could surely control what was in the house and not be tempted to eat stuff that is bad for me but that is not the case. and if something vegan and really tempting is around i WILL end up eating it. many of you probably know where i'm coming from, i don't know.
i've just been pretty disappointed with myself lately.i know this way of living is terrible for my health but just that fact doesn't seem to motivate me enough. like for example, knowing the facts of the meat industry was good enough incentive for me to just stop eating meat altogether and never ever consider touching it with my lips again. it's horrible but in reality i don't care about myself enough.
i guess i just want to hear something encouraging right now. perhaps if you've had this issue yourself and you've overcome it, you could share your story? or share a solution you think could work? for all of us looking for that magical thing that will finally stop us from craving sugar.
