Yeah, it's a serious problem for me. I'm largely channeling those feelings of hatred into reminding myself not to do that. Perhaps not the healthiest approach, but it's been working so far.

I've got syrup in my veins for blood

Sugar baby. You developed a sugar dependency.

Note that no actual sugar is required to develop a dependency, because flour, and almost all sources of carbohydrates are effectively sources of sugar.

Once for my birthday my aunt baked me not one but two cakes! She couldn't remember if I prefer chocolate or vanilla so she just made both. That was a week of indulgence I vividly remember, and my god at the end there I was so relieved those damn cakes were eaten omg XD

I bet you're hooked on water also, degenerate.

Interesting. I didn’t have a hard time giving up food, I quit about three years ago, but I drink constantly

What helped me drink a lot less soda was to begin looking at the sugar content on everything. A can has 75% of your daily recommended max intake, a bottle has 125%. Combined with the amount of sugar in a lot of other things, I’m pretty sure many Americans consume like double the amount of sugar they should pretty often. Plus, the 50 grams they recommend is still a lot of sugar and you shouldn’t be even consuming that much

That's okay bud, I'm proud of you! :)

You do not need meat. You do need protein.

Yes, but there are different types of addiction. I made this comment on another post, but I’ll put it here too:

There’s a big difference between something being psychologically addictive, and something being chemically addictive.

Like, yea, you can technically get addicted to anything. But there’s a massive difference between getting addicted to, say, working out, and getting addicted to nicotine.

So food being chemically addictive is not something that’s been known for decades, in fact it’s been a common topic of debate.

I do keto yearly to cut weight. Makes portions just very easy for me. For some quick fast food options in a pinch, McDonald's triple with cheese* sans bun (easy to order on mobile), extra pickles/lettuce. Chipotle/Moe's/Qdoba lots of options. I like a double meat salad with fajita veg, cheese, sour cream, salsa of choice, no rice/bean/corn salsa. Wings/salad at lots of pizza joints, verify they're not fried. Panera salads, just check the dressings. Greek restaurants usually have a nice selection of salad or grilled meat and veg options just nix the rice or bread.. and sadly hummus.

Another reliable fast food option is Jimmy John's. Their "un-which" is your sub of choice wrapped in lettuce leaves. The gargantuan un-which is my go-to.
