Hi, i'm trying to lose weight for several years and stumbled upon a VERY big problem - i just can't function without sugar. I decided to write this post after yet another failed attempt on quitting it and i gotta say this time the withdrawal was particularly bad. Restlestness, headache, EXTREME irritability and literal sypmtoms of depression were very bad today. I tried everything before - fruit, magnesium, nuts, etc. nothing helps at all. A few years ago i got off junk food(fast food, ultra processed microwave stuff, etc.) and can live without even thinking about it. I lost about 20kg from doing that but i can't get any lower than a 100kg since, even with sports and gym. When i don't eat sweets i just eat normal organic homecooked stuff(it's pretty cheap here in Russia and gmo products here are prohibited for selling). My longest time being clean from sugar is about a month and that month felt like a total mindfuck straight outta secret gestapo underground laboratories. I barely slept, every little minor incovenience made me mad, i had zero energy to do anything(even get out from bed at morning) when i wasn't angry, it was hard to get even a bit of pleasure from anything, my concentration wasn't exactly good during that time as well. I was constantly depressed and felt like i was on the edge of a mental breakdown every day. It felt like i was going insane. The contrast between the state of being clean and hopping back on sweets was huge. The main problem isn't even with cravings, i learned to deal with this easily by now, it's the stuff i described above.
When i do eat sweets it's hard to control it in the moment, i just eat more and more. I did my best to control this situation all these years but i legit don't know how much longer i will be able to hold it without going back to old ways. Does anyone know what to do ? I'm not even sure if i can do anything about it at this point, these withdrawals are getting too hardcore for me. It starts to feel like a drug addction at this point, even though i never used any. I never even smoked or tried alcohol either despite being pressured alot during my school years and on a few workplaces during celebrations too. I think i'll go to doctor about it soon, maybe something wasn't right with my gut health all these years or something. I don't wanna lie i'm starting to get desperate. Is it over for me ?
