Not dieting ATM!
Hello friends
Hoping you can help me.
In general I don't like sweet foods. I don't like sugar in drinks, I find juices too sweet I even dislike ripe fruit always preferring slightly under ripe or sour. I can't bear to add sugar to cereal or anything really. I really enjoy a cake or some chocolate but always like a strong black coffee or black tea to wash it down with.
But I have a tendency to binge on refined sugary foods. I completely shock myself how much I can eat during a day. I tend not to eat normal foods on those days too. So my body is getting a completely shocking amount of sugar in one go. Physically one of the first affects is on my eyes but it doesn't seem to stop me in fact maybe makes me worse!??
I know I must have an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes as my mum has developed it in old age and I had three pretty large babies too.
I think what I am hoping is that you will be able to confirm to me that I am damaging my eyes and that the blurry tired eyes I have now is directly linked to this abnormal eating. I hope that if I know rather than guess that this is causing me damage that information will shock me into stopping the sugar binges. Or at least get me one step closer to stopping them.
I am a firm believer in taking personal responsibility for my health and eating and shocking myself into taking action.
So do your best to tell me as it is, especially if you have a medical background and know that the blurry tired eyes are a direct result of the sugar binges. I have had various blood tests in recent years and they have always come back as normal so I put it to the back of my mind but of course I know I must be doing myself harm. I guess I just want a little more evidence and urgency.
Hope this all doesn't sound completely wet. Not expecting anyone to say anything that will cure me but you never no what will make a difference. I'd really like to be able to finally take some steps to stop this disgusting behaviour that serves no purpose and provides no pleasure.
Any views, information welcome.
