I tend to get addicted to things easily.. like a lot of times i eat sugar, just cause its sweet, and theres nothing else that great to eat at home. i mean we have lots of healthy foods, but sometimes i just want some like fatty snack, and sugar's the closest thing. well i want to stop doing it for the fear of getting diabetes.. i mean im normal weight, but somedays i have from up to 1 spoon of sugar to like 10 spoons in 1 day. especially days with no school. when i have school i usually sprinkle sugar on my corn flakes (they taste horrible otherwise. we used to have honey bunches of oats where i didnt do that but my mom doesnt buy it anymore). so how can i stop doing this? i hate it and want to take the steps to stop. also other addictions.. like i know its really bad but sometimes at stores i really want candy/gum so i find a way to steal it.. or like little accesories at stores. once i even stole a necklace from a store for 40 dollars! (most expensive thing ive ever took). ive never been caught.. and i started doing it this summer when i stole a bracelet from a forever21.. and i even did it today and stole gum from some random store. its really sinful too since im a christian.. and unfortunately i dont get the chance to go to church often.. but sometimes i just dont have enough money, so its like.. i act before i really think things through. i mean i know its bad.. but i just want it.. its like i know that i probably wont get caught especially for things like candy, so i do it and nobody finds out. and at home im doing a fundraiser so i can go on this 5,000 dollar trip this summer, and im selling candy. i just already ate 1 of the candy bars.. i dont want to go on one of my binges (ive already finished that whole pack of gum from before btw) with the candy bars and also gum i'll be selling at school to raise money, and eat them all. i wanna make a profit. how can i banish these desires? as well as the computer.. like i can procastinate all day and get none of my work done. and im smart, my teachers tell me, i know i am.. but i just get caught up with everything, always thinking i can just do it later, later. even things i plan to do in the morning, i still manage to procastinate. and when im trying to get it done in school, i procastinate. so i wanna get it off from the source; when i get home from school. how can i also regulate the time i spend doing free stuff and homework, cause i tend to get distracted easily and lose track of time? thanks a LOT your a LIFE SAVER! and im sorry this was so long!!

Well first of all you should try and replace the sugar with something healthier. There are many sugar alternatives, "eqaul" i think is one of them. You can get it from most supermarkets like coles etc. Mix that with a little fruit, and you have a tastey, healthy sweet snack that is longer filling than fatty high sugar foods. Have you went grocery shopping with your mum? You could try and request some decently priced healthy foods that your mum could buy. And as for money, it is a MUST that you stop stealing, and if you cant just stop immediatly, then try setting yourself limits. Because as you get older, the more trouble your going to get into for stealing. If you feel you need more cash, why not get a part time job? Do some chores around your house for some spare cash there are even a few sites that will send you FREE $$$ for just doing polls, surveys etc. And im talking about the ones that are LEGAL, look out for the bad fraudulent ones. Also, if you have procrastination issues, than why not try setting a timetable. Set yourself aside an hour or 2 for homework. Promise yourself you will finish it in that time period and if you succeed go ahead and reward yourself. It gets easyer with time :) . AND ALWAYS. ALWAYS. stay away from drugs and alchohol. Your doing a great good for yourself that you realised what your doing wrong. Though these issues dont seem to bad atm, keep strong, i know ur gunna do great.x
