Good day, thanks for your advices!!
Today starts my second day… but first (I´m learning english, maybe I make mistakes in my grammar, sorry for that 
)
I´m 28 years old, I´m from Mexico… I´m recover of two addictions right now, the firts was PMO but I let it 274 days agos (I´m glad for this result), for PMO I joined to NOFAP forum, I found help in that site.
Now I want quitting procesed sugar, but I also know to live I need glucose. And I found this site, nice to meet them.
Here in Mexico, we have a seriuos problem with sugar and precesed food. In my work, every morning there many people buying bread and coffe, cookies, milk with chocolate… when I see them It´s difficult beacuse this addiction is normal, they know sugar is dangerous but they don´t care. And all of this is temptation to me, I think this addiction will be more difficult…

Other day, yesterday I failed when I went out to eat… I bought a pack of cookies but something happened, one feeling of regreat… I threw those cookies but one part of me was angry for that action, it was strange as if my part adict wanted to follow eating.
Later at night I bought bread, because the bread is allowed in this moment, but I couldn´t eat it confortable, that feeling came back again. I can´t undestand…
Suddenly when I´m eating pictures coming to my mind about damage caused for the sugar in my body (I´ve read a lot studies about this subject).
The point here, When I finish my food I have that feeling (Eat cookies or snaks), My body didn´t want more food but my mind ask me sugar. For example in the morning I ate my breakfast, my body didn´t want more food, that feeling came back… this time I ignored it… now I´m stress out and confused, my part adict is angry because I didn´t eat sugar… ok, day 1…again

For example, today I had practice of karate, every time when I finish my training, I walking until my home, but always I change of way to buy something sweet (sugar procesed). Today I didn´t it, I like this feeling, When I have free time (like now), I was always ganna buy something… not today
Today I descovered The fries also has sugar… That´s crazy!! and sad, too haha the sugar is everywhere
If everything is ok, this will be my second day. Good luck!!

It’s hard to do. In my cases it was quit sugar or die. During the pandemic I started drinking really hard. A 12 pack of Budweiser tall boys and almost a liter of Pink Whitney vodka a day. The sugars took there toll. The pandemic ended but I didn’t. I started not feeling well. Blurred vision, tingling in my hands and feet and constantly having to use the restroom. I went on vacation to Las Vegas anyway. Drank hard for four days. Got home and felt horrible. Went to the doctor and they ran some tests. They said I needed some one to drive me to the ER immediately. I didn’t understand what was going on. Turns out my blood sugar was over 700 and I had an A1C of 14. I was on the verge f diabetic coma. Spent three days in intensive care to get my levels normal. I went cold turkey n sugar and carbs. Reading labels on everything. I was 335 pounds at that time. With proper eating and exercise I got down to 205 pounds. They make a lot of good sugar free treats now. Using Stevia and monk fruit as substitutions for recipes works well. Unfortunately I found straight vodka was sugar free also and that’s what got me in the mess I’m in now. Sugar really is a drug in my book. It’s addictive and gives a person a high and mental comfort. It also comes with a crash. Almost every processed food has some level of added sugar.

Yesterday was my day 3, everything 
.
I have a question, maybe someone can help me, if this is truth or lie… some people have posted in others sites you can quite this addiction little by little. If you eat sugar three days a week now you can eat only two. Did it work for anyone? Is this a good advice?
On the other hand my sister was eating ice cream… that was a horrible tentation haha, but I did it well, I was focus in other thing.

Yesterday was my day 4, but I failed… What a pity for me…
ok, I gotta start again, this is my day 1, AGAIN 
But I notice changes, for example in the mornings, I was used to eat one piece of bread… yes, one piece of bread (sweet) from monday to saturday. But I discovered if I eat bread in the morning I feel very tired all the morning. I haven´t eaten bread since sunday, I have more energy this sorprised me because It was out of control my glucose levels, for this reason I felt tired later when I finished the piece of bread.
I eat a banana by mornings, but again that feeling. My body doesn´t want more food, but my mind tell me “Go and buy bread o cookies”. The good news is that I feel good and that voice has weaked. (But It´s still very inconfortable)

okok, this time was different, I did it, I could do it, I was tempted when I went out to eat. But this time I DID IT 
It feels so good haha, maybe It´s little thing… But something was changing when I decided to give up sugar last week. In one week I hadn´t eaten bread in the morning. Today I do because the bread is allowed (For now) but I couldn´t finished it because I felt it soo sweet, before I could eat it no problem. That was a crazy!! My tongue changed… I was shocked!!
Yesterday, I bought the book “Glucose Revolution” by Jessie Inchauspé. But I gotta wait a few days, I bought it in english, I have a bookstore nearby and fortunately there they sell books in english, they´re cheaper for this reason than in spanish (I live in Mexico)
I´ve watched her youtube channel and the information she shares there is impressive
ok, this is my day 2

Hi, today I had day off, when I have more time off I sometimes go to the shope to buy someting. This time I didn´t have any problem… ok, I could control it.
Next week is my sister´s birthday. Today I bought her a present today. I still feel uncomfortable about not eating processed sugar. But I know this is temporary.
Today was my day 3.
Day 4, It was a productive day. I was busy most of the day. In the morning I had problems with my behaviors, my mind ask for sugar, processed sugar, because I ate a banana in the morning. This addiction is courios and also interesting.
I gotta understand my stress because when I feel very stressful my craves are stronger. I still weait my books that I ordered last week, It suppost they gotta send me a message to collect them but I haven´t get enything.
