With regards to consumption of sugar - the pancreas is part of both the endocrine and digestive systems of the body. It makes digestive enzymes that break down food. It also makes insulin, and glucagon, which control the amount of blood sugar in your blood. Blood sugar levels effect all uour organs and all the systems of your body. While your pancreas can adjust to occasional overindulgances in sugar, consistent consumption of too much sugar can lead to type II diabetes. A condition in which the pancreas fails to produce sufficient insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. (Type I is the production of NO insulin, and is typically genetic, or environmental)
...i hope i answered your question.
Do you know why you are choosing snacks and sweets over more nutritious meals? For comfort, or a desire to harm, or lack of caring, simple enjoyment, specific cravings, boredome, loneliness, keeping busy ??? I hope you feel better soon.

thanks for the response, yes... I understand now- how interesting!. I love learning things.
as for why I choose sweets, who really knows
I guess it started because I just felt I had no control over which foods I ate (meaning I'd pick something healthy, my body would reject it, I'd sick it back up, and go for the sweets to be full)
then it came to the point where no matter how much I was eating, I wasn't full- so I just overate more- and yeah, I suppose harm has stuff to do with it too.
so I guess for me it's just a vicious cycle of all that
