I really don't know why I do it. Or rather, I do know why I do it, but that doesn't seem to help.

Eating sweet things fucks me up. I feel fidgety, I can't concentrate, my attention span goes down (yes, even further). Coming off of sugar puts me into days of cravings and grumpiness. I don't feel like doing anything and nothing seems like very much fun.

I've managed 6 months of no sugar before, where I controlled my diet and kept myself balanced and happy. I slept better, thought better and felt better. I was definitely happier.

So why the hell have I not been doing this recently? What is it that makes me think "Oh, one chocolate bar won't matter?".

Gah!

isn't there some resurch that said chocolate does the same for you, or releaserds the same stuff inside as sex...

then ask your self the same question, with the words sweet, sugar and chocolate with sex, blowjob and fucking, and see if ypou are as pissed off with your self...

Chocolate contains tryptophan, a seratonin precurosr. Seratonin is associated with depression and mood (it's what Prozac affects, as well as Ecstacy and many other drugs).

I don't think it's the chocolate. For me, at least, the sugar will do it by itself, every time. I'm pretty sure it's because it makes me feel so damn awful. Somewhere, my brain thinks that a little more sugar will make the bad feelings go away, if only for a minute -- and then I'm right back in the cycle.

Refined sugar is a drug human bodies just weren't meant to handle.
