I'm starting to think I'm a bit "allergic" to sugar. Twice now in the last week I've experienced this odd feeling where I abstain from sweets for 18-20 hours, then eat some candy or something...and my mood tanks for no reason. All of a sudden I want to cry, I'm thinking about all my failures and inadequacies, ruminating about some abstract issue I thought I laid to rest....all from some sugar.

I've already figured out I'm "allergic" to Chinese food in this same way - I'll literally be halfway through a meal when this feeling hits, it's awful. But quitting sugar is much harder than quitting takeout or cheap buffets. I can't last more than two or three days at a time.
