Do anyone enjoy eating sugary foods and carbs, that seem to be
my down fall. I do ok with the rest of the foods, but I like something
Sweet everyday. :wave:
What do u like?

I'm a sugar addict if there is such a thing. I crave sweets all the time. I've given them up just recently but although it's been a week since I've had any sugar I still crave it especially after supper.
-
I like eating cake, candy, and other junk foods.
-
I am a choco - holic ... love my chocolate .. LOL
-
If I have candy and desserts in the house, I can't leave them alone. So I don't have them in the house very often.
-
I love my sweets as well. My husband is the biggest sweets-a-holic. He purchases more cookies and ice cream, and he and my grandson eats them up, unless it is something chocolaty and peanutty. Then I get my share. He knows I am not such a fan of marshmallows, so he will buy anything containing marshmallows to make sure I don't get any. :icon_rr: :female: :thumbsup: :wave:

I am trying to wean myself off sweets (or at least the craving for them). I have done it before and once I get past the "weaning" stage I can do without them. The problem is trying to substitute a healthy snack on the go that does not rev up the carb hunger. Raw nuts work pretty well for that, are portable, and healthy if not eaten in excess.
I once heard a preacher quip that "before the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, chocolate cake was good for you." lol.

It takes a little longer than a week to clean out your system of the cravings, but hang in there-- it can be done and you will be so proud of yourself.

I enjoy everything in moderation. I track all of my food so if I'm eating junk I make sure I'm still eating the right amount of calories/fat/carbs for that day
-
I like anything sweet but really love ice cream.

My sisters, me and a friend were suppose to start NOT eating sugar on Sept. 1st. All of us failed :crybaby2:
being the holidays did not help with cook-outs and such.
Thinking maybe I should just limit myself to a small amount each week - which is really hard :BangHead: because our whole family and my friends all llllloooovvve :heart: sweets.
But I'm gonna keep trying til I eventually can overcome this passion for sweets :sad1:
-
I could live off of Bread, Pasta, Potatoes, and Sweet Cakey snacks!! I feel your weakness!
-
Same here, it took me forever to lose weight because I could never say no to sweets and carbs.
-
yah I like sweets in moderation
-
Carbs are more my weakness vs. sweets... sweets are easier to avoid.
-
The only time I really crave something sweet is after dinner every evening. Then I want a cookie or a piece of pie or cake or something like that. :wave:
-
I also have a tendency to crave something sweet combined with caffeine. Chocolate, Pepsi throwback, Coffee with honey are 3 things that I reach for. Sugar and caffeine stimulate the thyroid so we can "rev up our engine" and get our metabolism going. It's fairly common for people who have an under active thyroid and/or under active adrenals to crave stimulants. The problem is that those foods can spike blood sugar so our glucose and triglyceride levels end up being too high. I'm still searching for a legal stimulant that doesn't mess up my blood sugar.

Sometimes I just have to have a candy bar or something sweet. I know it is not good for me, but I have read that craving something and not eating it will cause you to eat more when you do eat the sweets.
-

-

I heard last wk. that sugar is 9x as addictive as heroin... :(I believe it...try to go without your sweets for about 3 days and you will go thru a type of withdrawal but if you can hang in there for those 3 days...the cravings should go away :peace:
-
I eat a load of it once I get my hands on a sweet item can't stop unless its all gone.
-
I love to eat cake, ice cream and chocolate.
-
i usually crave chocolate most. I haven't been doing to well on controlling my cravings lately but try to limit it to a small piece of chocolate every other day :wave: :peace:
-
I can't go a day without some type of sweets even if it is toast and jelly if I don't have anything else in the house.
