What are some bad habits of yours that you're trying to fix? - Page 4

To those with sweet cravings - I have a food addiction and that includes obsessing over sweets. It feels like craving for a drug, because self control becomes zero and there are adverse effects on health. I have already put on 30 kgs in just 3 years and added a malfunctioning thyroid on top of it.

Unlike a drug addiction, you cannot avoid food. And there are less ways to cope with it because it’s not looked at seriously by most people. For eg., friends will want to order unhealthy stuff, relatives will force you to eat more, companies will advertise every freaking where 🤷‍♀️ So I end up having a lot of triggers, like food advertisements, pictures, descriptions of the food I like…🤔 A friend added me on an IF group for foodies recently, and I can’t participate because it will trigger my addiction.

The only thing that is helping me is the 2-3 hour interval eating like Rujuta Diwekar recommended. I get less hungry because I am eating healthy stuff in small portions every couple of hours. It is keeping my cravings under control and I feel more energetic throughout the day. I still have times where I give in to my cravings but it’s improving.

Thought I will write this out because struggling with a food or sweet addiction is not easy, and it helps to know you aren’t alone ❤️

Eating junk food

It's very easy to manipulate me

I'm hyper emotional, koi bhi ghatiya se ghatiya TV show lelo where any person is crying I get emotional seeing him/her.

I get scared by little things and that's annoying, I mean by the sound of closing of door by winds, lightening and even when the fan is on full speed, the sound of crackers makes it even worse

I truly get when u say about the sound phobia. 😊 I have never been able to enjoy the festivities where the crackers are involved. I get stressed out with just the sight of someone lighting them even before they burst out.

Infact even the emotional aspect too…I can relate with you. It gets easier to get manipulated when one is emotional. 😒

I sleep a lot so I'm trying to sleep less.
