Reintroducing binge foods?
Hello, sorry I’m new here so I hope this is okay.
I have an extreme chocolate addiction.
It’s most likely sugar as I don’t eat any other processed/added sugar in my diet (no cakes/biscuits/sweets), no sugar in coffee, diet drinks etc.)
Cold sweats when I don’t eat any, waking up in the middle of the night ears ringing until I have chocolate, mouth watering at the mere idea, skipping meals in order to eat shedloads whilst still not overdoing calories of the day.
I have since gone cold turkey for a month to kick the cravings, and the sweats, ears ringing, mouth watering has gone, but I’d like to reintroduce it, as life is too short to not enjoy chocolate and I’m genuinely kind of miserable without it :(
I’m an all or nothing kind of person - so a little bit everyday isn’t going to cut it - I need ALL the Easter Eggs or none at all.
Is having one day a week where I eat freely then no-go the rest of the week smart?
Or is that just stupid - you wouldn’t say to an alcoholic “have one binge drinking night every Tuesday”.
