Sugar is, like you say an addiction. when you have sugary food you crave more sugar, then you feel bad, so u want more sugar, and on and on it goes.

I suggest you go on a GI diet, which is very low on carbs and sugar. replace sugar in tea etc with fructose, which is a natural fruit sugar that doesnt raise your blood sugar levels much. eat spelt pasta instead of regular or brown pasta. you can find lots of info on it if you google it. i am on this diet myself and i feel much healthier, more alert, more happy, and ive lost weight with it too.

also, when you start eating this way your body will eventually get used to it and not crave the sweets. it is however important that you dont deny yourself anything, if you are really craving a certain food, have some of it.

also, another way is just to eat so much of it that you feel sick just thinking about it. i dont recommend this though as its not very healthy.
