Has anyone quit binge eating sugar enough to successfully lose weight? Tell me your ways.

I've tried Intuitive Eating and although I think the principals are great, it doesn't work for someone like me who has PCOS and insulin resistance (excess insulin sends false hungry signals to the brain). I was able to not binge on sugar while intuitively eating, but not lose weight...

In 2014 I lost 50 lbs and 5 sizes by quitting processed sugar. I looked and felt amazing. The problem is, I could only ever quit sugar for 6 months to a year before falling off the wagon. I love sugar. I cannot stop at a portioned amount. I make myself go through all the barriers to not eat it by not keeping it in the house, telling myself I'll only have some on Sundays, aka my "free/cheat day" (but I always end up consuming it the entire weekend). After a few hard years of medical mishaps and job loss/financial struggle, I gained all that weight back and more. It's mortifying and I don't recognize myself anymore; my body is in so much pain from the excess weight... But I still love sugar. Sigh. Has anyone succeedee at this or am I just doomed to be addicted forever? (I'm extra, but seriously, thanks for reading.)

Sincerely,

- Lost In Candy Land
