Hello, I’m Millie and I have drifted into sugar addiction after believing that I was completely over it. I have had a couple of really bad years and I am now living half the week with my ex husband, who has been really helpful after a huge mental health crisis, but I am starting to feel trapped in this house and every time I have sugar, it seems to represent some sort of control or rebellion. It makes me feel exciting, but it’s got to the point where my clothes don’t fit and over the last 2 years I have gained 2 stones.
I don’t look or feel the way I want to, I am using the food as an antidote to feeling out of control. Being hung for a sheep as much as a lamb…daring myself to act recklessly with food that I am not safe around.
It is classic risk taking behaviour. I didn’t see it before.
Thank you for the opportunity to see what’s happening.
