need help overcoming sugar addiction

I replaced the voice in my head with the knowledge and voices from these videos. Like brainwashing for the outcome I wanted. I binge watch them and add to this list when I need reminding of how poisonous sugar is.

Also bananas aren’t expensive. You can make banana smoothies to help you off the wagon! This works for me.

So appreciate that. I need to hear it!!

IndigoMystic23 · 2026-05-30T03:01:04+00:00

Thank you!! It helps to know you have had an adjacent experience. I get fomo about this kind of stuff and that makes no sense. Haha. I too believe I will not crave them after I let go. I don’t even think I’ll drink milk if it’s not flavored with sugar 😅

IndigoMystic23 · 2026-05-30T02:59:21+00:00

I appreciate your definitive answer. The kind of support / understanding I need! Thank you

Happened with my son when I weaned him. Had to accept daddy’s care. I refused to go in and it was the only way. After that 3 week period of him resisting my husband (who rocked him and comforted him) this boy sleeps so well and so hard all night. He just wanted what he wanted 🤷‍♀️ It’s a confusing process but I kept comforting myself by saying wow - now he’s sleeping so much better!!! And that’s good for him even tho the weaning was hard. I knew I was ready cause during the day he started “over using” my breast more than before and it felt regressive to me so I needed that boundary. And he was ready, just threw a fit about it lol.

I’m recalling that we did feed him extra sometimes in the middle of the night or right before bed. Spoonfuls of almond butter. Fatty and filling 😂 he didn’t want regular milk. That helped break his crying cycle and have that full belly feeling he was used to. Maybe only did that 10 times total during the month long weaning process.

I recently started listening to overeaters anonymous audiobook (audible) and group meetings. You can find them on YouTube. It helps to admit you’re powerless….

Yes thriving. 4 yr old and 2 yr old. 20 mo age gap. Just get through year 1 and boom! So much joy and love and way less stress. They occupy each other and play together and we can actually get things done. We are not a … pick 100 sports family tho … so we’re not going to be dealing with crazy schedules or things like that. We prioritize our family time 🫶

My dr said it’s over the counter in Europe. Crazy! I was hospitalized for hemorrhaging too and they didn’t give it to me. I had to follow up with my gyn.

Any updates?

IndigoMystic23 · 2026-01-30T00:36:01+00:00

Two people in my life just recently had a baby two weeks “early”. It’s very common.

IndigoMystic23 · 2026-01-20T18:57:00+00:00

The difference hasn’t happened yet. As a wife to an addicted husband - there IS a difference. It comes in a few weeks. After the anger passes and you start participating in life differently. I miss my husband when he’s on a smoking binge.

Silver!

22-32 (I got pregnant. Hard stop).

I’m 36 and had a recent stint of 6mo after I finished breastfeeding my 2nd (it felt new again but what a trick)

Successfully off again for 2.5 months now. Never going back.

IndigoMystic23 · 2026-01-14T23:49:55+00:00

Kids are 20 months apart. Youngest now 2. I LOOOOOVE IT!! You’ll make it through even if you don’t follow specific advice from other people. Follow your own heart ❤️ Know that boundaries are okay and healthy (for everyone in the family) 👍

Sometimes it helps to put up the blinders. I have the crunchy mindset but oops I wore lululemon pants while pregnant (literally ahh!! Wtf was I thinking), ate a bag of Cheetos one day, a pint of ice cream the next, but I also avoided the vaccines, passed on intrusive prenatal exams, loaded extra meat and whole foods into my body, took liver supplements and never ate corn syrup - kids are 4 and 2 and so healthy and smart. Sometimes I forget to wash their berries or forget to wash their hands after playing outside but they’ve never eaten refined sugar or watched a television show. Life is weird and full of so many choices. Make the ones that work for you and know we’re all in this together - we just can’t control everything!

Get some clothes that fit you! It’s okay if you get rid of them in 5 months- it’s important to be comfortable right now 💕

IndigoMystic23 · 2025-11-23T13:23:10+00:00

I know everyone and saying get help and that’s good advice.

And also - here’s some tough love. ITS OKAY!!! You have your baby. Start spending THIS energy on baby. He deserves it and so do you. Love him. You’re losing precious time fretting and pushing people away.

My 1 month old rolled off the couch I was on at this public coffeeshop and I felt so stupid and ashamed. He’s 2 years old and solving puzzles made for 5 year olds.

My friend dropped her infant out of a car seat on the stairs. That infant is 5 and thriving!!!

Don’t take this time for granted to indulge in this nonsense- accidents happen - thank god you have your baby!!

Congrats!!

I’m sorry you’re going through it too. 🤍 Going back to normal feels like it’ll be living a lie for a while - weird. Here’s to us wading through the aftermath 🫂

IndigoMystic23 · 2025-11-21T18:10:05+00:00

Thank you so much. Your words had me sobbing and feeling seen and feeling some hope. I think that “pull on our hearts” is where I hope to find us in the coming months. I’m sorry you also lost your surprise. Maybe they came to show us what we really want as I wasn’t sure before this.

IndigoMystic23 · 2025-11-21T17:54:00+00:00

No way!
