What do you do if you have a Sugar Addiction Relapse?
Hi, Samantha Taylor here. I am in Nevada on a business trip and I talk about sugar addiction and how to overcome a sugar addiction. Check out my video above on what to do if you have a sugar addiction relapse, here is what I said if you would rather read:
So, I’m talking to you about sugar addiction, how to get off sugar, how to overcome being a sugar addict in your life that might be controlling you, or maybe you just eat sugar every once in a while and you still can’t stop eating it. So, you know, it’s all about balance.
Okay, so I wanna talk to you about, “So you had a relapse…” Let’s say you go off sugar and you’re like, “Yes, I’m doing great. I feel phenomenal. I’m going off sugar. This is awesome. I’m so happy, blah, blah, blah. My life is so changed. I’m the different person,” and then you have a relapse. What does that mean? You gave in. You- you thought you had it but you didn’t, and then all of a sudden, you ate sugar again. And now, you’re addicted to sugar again. How did this happen?
Now, my friend, I have personal experience with this. I have been on and off being a sugar addict (sigh) probably 50 times in 6 years. I’m not kidding. I think closer to 100. But when you think about sugar addiction and how you have got to: one, make sure that you don’t fall back into it. If you find yourself eating it again, then you need to kind of check with yourself and figure out how you can get more balance again.
So, if you relapse and you find that you did fall back into a sugar addiction, then go ahead and just take a deep breath and know that you can get off of it again. Just relax. And I have to say that because I’ve come off in sugar addiction so many times, the more I did it, the more I realize that it was easier, you know, the more I got off sugar, the easier it was to get off of it again. So, little by little, it got easier and easier.
So, if you relapsed, so what? Just get back on track. You’re human. You’re not gonna be perfect all the time, and that’s just life. So, that’s why two sets for you today, just get back on track and refuse to live with a sugar addiction.
This sounds like me. I seem to have no trouble with sugar, except at night, I can put away so much sugar that I am ill the next day. I hate myself after and promise I will never do it again and than comes this person I do not even know at night and all reason gose out the door.
I get up the next day and promise myself I will never do this again…and than I do.
I went for nine months without sugar and than I slowly began to eat foods that were not on my diet and the next thing I knew I was back to my behaviors that I thought I had put to rest.
I know this is a life long process and will never be free. I cannot have just a taste of sugar, as I have to have the whole pie, cake, candy,etc.
Love your posts and glad to hear I am not alone in this battle and yes it is a battle. One that I plan on winning.
