Hello!
> have symptom W
Whats symptom W? Is it some sort of code?? I've never heard of it!
Anyway, I heard that sugar is more addictive than heroin apparently.
I dunno what helps. Well, I went through a phase of eating really low GI stuff and that took away all sugar cravings in me actually.
And another thing I've found is that if you totally (in your head) place certain foods off limits -- you couldn't even contemplate eating said food (usually cakes, buns, biscuits etc) without feeling majorly guilty, well I've found you just crave it much much more and then end up binging on it (usually).
You kinda reach a point when you actually chose to eat healthier simply because well I dunno, but I admit its hard, particulary when on any form of psych drug. Except wellbutrin, I managed to resist eating stuff on that!
Eating protein and good fats help with sugar cravings too. I dunno, I totally just buy ONE small chocolate bar, ONE little cake thing, etc just because I don't have much self control over cakes etc.
Oh well.
Don't worry about the overweight thing either - its only a little tiny bit over. I'm sure that if you measure youself again you might be under (we flucuate so much...) I bet you look lovely! And aren't you tall (I seem to remember because I'm tall too) so we can carry it off way better!!!!
I hope something here has been of some use...!
Kind regards
