Rehab...

I wish there was an inpatient rehab clinic for sugar addicts. I've been struggling so much with my addiction to sugar. I wish I could say that the honey and fruits completely eliminated my cravings but they don't. I've been trying to at least attempt to eat healthy meals whenever I can. I tried to make the coconut chicken (recipe in one of my previous posts) and it turned out dry :S I'm not good at making chicken it always somehow turns out dry and flavourless. I was told by a good friend that I should marinate it the night before then boil it with some onion and spices then fry it. I haven't tried that yet so we'll see how it goes. Honestly I think psychologically I may not be where I need to be to completely cut out processed sugar. Although I'm very scared of getting diabetes and my teeth rotting and falling out, I somehow feel like for now I should enjoy the sugary goodness of chocolate, pastries and candy while I still can. I know it's totally wrong and unhealthy and dangerous but that's why it's an addiction. It's an excessive behaviour that I can't stop on my own. Any suggestions? I'm still gonna try to stay away from the sweets but you'd be surprised how much of a mood booster they are for me. Making excuses, pathetic I know. I guess I'm just weak when it comes to sugar.

Today so far for example I've had:

Shredded wheat cereal
Lentil and spinach soup
"greek" salad (basically just a garden salad with feta cheese and some balsamic vinaigrette)
and a skore chocolate bar (I couldn't resist and it had the least amount of calories compared to other chocolate bars)
