  • I can’t explain how this happened but when I got covid in March 2020 I lost my dessert addiction overnight. If I eat desserts I still enjoy them like I used to, but I stopped craving them in the same way, I no longer think about desserts all the time. I had been really overweight and after about two years I lost seventy pounds with zero deliberate lifestyle changes.

    I really think that a lot people who haven’t experienced food addiction aren’t able to imagine how real it can be for someone else. I can also say from experience that someone with a severe food addiction can see it as a personal failing because it’s hard to imagine how much easier restraint is for the people who don’t struggle with restraint.

    I had an absolutely miserable time with post-covid symptoms, but losing my sugar addiction was definitely a silver lining.
