I'll meet you there is there is one! I seriously need it. I somehow manage to really onyl eat candy and still be thin but I really need to change! I think you could actually go to any eating disorder treatment center if you really thought it was a problem that interferes with your life. People don't realize that anorexia and bulimia are NOT the only eating disorders. An eating disorder is any eating behavior that causes distress in your life. It doesn't have to have anything to do with weight. So

Candy detox
7 steps to getting the gummi bear off your back
By Rebecca Friedlander
It all started so innocently, with a small bag of blue gummi sharks from a well-meaning Mrs. Mom. Normally, the Fitness Guru isn’t into candy, but the textured confections were really, well, delicious.
Fast-forward a mere two weeks, and the Fitness Guru has snarfed down three more bags, one of gummi sharks, one of juju hearts and yet another of gummi bears. Yet it wasn’t until she caught herself scavenging for leftover holiday candy at work one recent afternoon that she realized she had developed a sugar problem—and needed immediate help.
To nip what was becoming an alarming daily candy fix, the Fitness Guru sat herself down to analyze the sudden attraction to sugar: Why now the intense craving? The answer seemed to be a case of the winter blahs and the fact that she had been a little more tired than usual. Ah! Her body wanted energy.
To counteract this self-defeating pattern, the Fitness Guru unfurled the following plan of attack, which is intended to increase energy and curb the urge to reach for deceptively innocent-looking animal-shaped candy.
1. Make more plans to socialize and try new activities.
2. Get to bed a half-hour earlier on weekdays.
3. Drink more water to combat dehydration-related exhaustion.
4. Find a healthy alternative (dried fruit) to candy when craving something sweet.
5. Pack nutritional snacks (fruit, nuts, hard boiled eggs, edamame and even soup) to turn to when fatigue, hunger or boredom set in.
6. Add an additional half-hour exercise break at midday to reenergize and clear the mind.
7. Go cold turkey on candy.
Yes, sometimes it takes complete elimination of the sugary food item(s) in order to beat the obsession. At least, in this case, it was right for the Fitness Guru and her quirky body. Sure, the first 24 hours were hard, but with each passing day, the hankering for sugar decreased until it wasn’t even a consideration.

No, but there is SugarBusters. Sugar is the basis for many addictions, including alcohol and smoking. Corn syrup is the primary addition to many of the sweet things we love, and it is so addictive! I've heard that in other countries, it is not allowed to be added to sodas and food like it is here.
