Why am I addicted to sugar?

[12hearts]

I thought I read somewhere that sugar addictions can stem from the fact that someone didn't get as much milk as they wanted as a baby. but now I can't find anything on it -- is that true? Or do I just have no self-control?

Background: I can eat entire cakes and pies in one day. most often I eat whole packages of cookies. if I've gone a long time without doing that, I feel like I have to or I can't think about anything else. one time I lied to my boyfriend saying I had to go work on something, but instead I went to get an ice cream cake. it wasn't even good. the cake part was too cold.

help!

I would say most people are addicte to salt and sugar, because it's in everything. When you drink soda, when you eat cereal, juice, ketchup, and so on but I think the main way people get addicted to sugar is because of soda. I don't think most girls eat their calories I think they drink them. Girls are like I had salad today so I'm healthy but then they had 2 soda and a frappacino from Starbucks, and add that pup and that's like 2 meals worth of sugar and calories. Also diet isn't any better just because it says diet or zero calorie or zero sugar. That means it has tons of chemicals.
Anyways I just ranted but if you truly want to stop eating so much sugar, is to stop drinking soda, instead drink water or tea with honey. And to stop buying things with sugar. I used to love sugar but then once I stopped drinking soda I stopped wanting sugar. Now it's gross and way too sweet for me

Here's a little secret... every single piece of food you eat contains sugar, you mean you have an addiction to unrefined cane sugar which is added to cakes, pies, chocolates etc. Sugar is not problematic unless you are eating it excessively and aren't burning that sugar off. But with cakes, ice cream and other sweet treats, it's not the sugar that's the problem, but the saturated fat content which if eaten too excess on a regular basis will contribute to high cholesterol levels in your blood.

This is where oats come into play, Beta Glucan, what a wonderful natural ingredient in oats which help lower a person's blood cholesterol level.

Maybe it has something to do with what your mom ate when she was pregnant. I don't have very much knowledge on addictions but that makes sense to me. Or it could be what you had possibly read somewhere. Ask your doctor if nobody puts a decent answer on here.

I think it's as simple as sugar tastes good, and you get a big hit of pleasure when you eat it. At your age you can metabolize it really quickly and lose the weight you gain from that amount of sugar quickly.

You'll be diabetic in the future if you keep that up and gain weight. Be very careful. The damn sugar industry in this country puts sugar in EVERYTHING, even salad dressing and other things you wouldn't assocaite with sugar.
