wanted to get this poll out about sugar

I'm a sugar addict.  And I shouldn't be.  I have diabetes but my body says to me constantly...sugar sugar sugar!!  Was wondering how many of us have this happening...not just the diabetics here.

I have always had a bit of a sweet tooth! But I find that lately I seem to need it in the evenings. I figure it is just my body's way of trying to get more easy energy, so I try to fight it, but I often lose!

My weakness....Milky Way candy bars, my favorite since I was a kid.

I have found when I wean myself from the chocolate I do feel less achy.

I'm one of the oddballs.  I rarely crave sugar. If I have cookies I only have 6 at a time. My only weakness

is during the summer, once a week I treat myself to a small vanilla, chocolate dipped in a waffle cone.

We have a really neat ice cream stand in the village where I live.

I was watching an episode of "House"'; there was a young woman who had eater a lot of quick carbs incl. all sorts of cookies, candy, chocolate She met a man and decided to change her diet to lose weight, she almost died. Some kind of rare disorder that one's body needs the carbs to, well, survive . Anyone ever hear of anything like that.? I know there are times that if I didn't eat, say, strawberries w. whipped cream, for dinner or cheerios for supper, I would not eat at all. If someone puts a plate of meat, potatoes, veg. in front of me I have to run away. I don't do dinner parties by the way, so don't bother inviting me, unless you have some angel food cake w. whipped cream and fresh drumsticks (Ice Cream), with fruit for the entree/all smeared in dark Chocolate. I'll bring a sprig of broccoli.

Sounds healthy to me. your getting the essentials.

I understand exactly how you feel about the meat. And although my previous statement may have come across as though I eat healthy, I would just as soon have a batch of pancakes with a cup of syrup for dinner as anything. As for candy, I live right near a Russell Stover outlet store and I put my fingers in a cross every time I go past it...like it was dracula lol. If there is candy here in the house...and what home doesnt have candy at Halloween? I eat it. Not just one or two pieces but I'll eat it till it's gone. Like my first post...I crave sugar. :(

Sugar makes me achiness and fatigue worse. Much worse. I don't have any trouble  with meat.

I do Protein Drink, warm milk, easy cabs but always get hiccups, Cereal works real well, and most fruit and veg but not too acidic. Caffeine is in one of my meds so I axed the coffee. Drink tea, very soothing.

If I go to Mcdonalds, whataburger, or burger king, the grease on there burger just makes me so sick to my stomach,
I guess I'm weird that way..I get lean cut meats at the store when I buy meat, which isn't too often, but an occassional
steak and baked potato split with my hubby and I can tolerate that for diiner, now for breakfast I have to have my
pop tart toasted to almost burnt with a few fresh blueberries and every Thanks giving I have
to have the Blueberry pie from Whole foods, it oh so good.....so guess I'm a blueberry freak....and the
blueberry tea by STASH is good a bit sweet but good and decaf too......
hugz to all....
