Did you go through "grieving" process when giving up sugar?

[nevertoolate]

I thought this "grieivng" process when giving up some food was bull until recently.....have been through the denial, "I'm not really a food addict, that's pretty extreme, I just eat too much." Now I'm into anger, pissed I can't be someone who eats just one donut and stops, perfectly satisfied. Next I guess comes the bargaining, "If I can just have cremora and splenda back, my life will be perfect." Can't remember what else comes before acceptaance bec I'm not there yet....looking back at my love for junk food, I am looking at it with rose-colored glasses, forgetting the desperation of sitting at the donut shop with a box of donuts, knowing I wont go home until they're all gone, being full but it didn't matter....it helps to remember the desperation that brought me here and brings a lot of people here....I remember looking up food addiction on the internet wondering what in the !&&^##! is wrong with me! I can't let myself forget what brought me here.....when I sit and long for sugar.....and flour/wheat......what am I really longing for....have to address those issues instead. best to all of my fellow FAAers
