[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am someone with an extreme sugar addiction, as in I would stop by Krispy Kreme and get three donuts to satisfy my sweet tooth. I have a very high risk of diabetes (both parents type 2 and I have high post meal glucose numbers even though a1c is good) and was forced to cut sugar. Only one thing worked for me, which I know goes against current discourse on food: I shamed myself for indulging in donuts and cake. Literally would berate myself every time I did it. Finally, in January the guilt and shame got so bad that I just stopped! My daily trips to Wegmans to get two slices of cake stopped! I am so happy and so proud of myself.  [/quote]

Unfortunately I already have extremely low self-confidence, so shaming would be the worst thing for me. [/quote]

I have very low confidence too, and am even in therapy for that. But what I accomplished in changing my eating habits has made me feel empowered and really good about myself. So yes, I did shame myself quite a bit but the outcome is very much worth it. [/quote]

Holy cow[/quote]
