I agree with that! It's amazing how physically and emotionally awful a sugar binge can leave you. Have you ever had that, "well, I ate ten cookies, so I might as well eat badly for the whole day" rationalization? You start off bad and end up worse -- you've Federlined!
Maybe it would help to learn from this kind of episode what your triggers are. Do you wake up vulnerable, or have other timing or emotional cues that make you crave sweets? Stock up on something appealing and healthy so it's the first thing you reach for. Don't have sweet treats on hand -- if you see them, you'll eat them.
