I work for a chocolate makers, so i am often surrounded by sweets. Because they are so accessible, its not unfrequent that i will eat sweets when i am stressed.
To compensate for that, i am very strict in no consuming sugar during my daily life. The times i do it, i count it so i keep track of it and i try to get things that would usually not have sugar or that i can ask for the sugar to be removed.
Usually, that works fine for my day to day life l, but when i travel for work, everything seems to go to shit.
I will get green tea, coffee and the cup will have sugar even though I asked them not to put it, sometimes even supposedly always savoury things like pizza or hamburger will have sugar. I live in Asia so, it won't be Uncommon for business dinners to include even a majority of sweet dishes. Sometimes it makes me feel like society is conspiring to rob me of my capacity to choose what to eat.
Just today i got a matcha tea, i specifically asked for no sugar. I got it as i was getting in to the plane. I got so pissed off when i tasted it that i threw it to the trash.
Anyway, consider this post my form of catharsis and share if you experience the same things.
