re: How many of you eat NO sweets at all?

I used to love sugary candy growing up. Fortunately I had the metabolism where it never affected me. I gave it up (along with soft drinks) one lent and never looked back. Nowadays if I have even a piece of cake or a soft drink I feel like shite the rest of the day. I'm convinced all that stuff is basically a drug you have to get used to, and once you get yourself off it there's no going back.

Now I don't seek it out, but if someone busts out a cheesecake, you better your sweet arse I'm having a piece.

I have superior genetics so I eat sweets every day and still have a great figure. Can't imagine having to watch what I eat like some of you do

My boyfriend is like this. Even in his 40s, he lives off junk and has an athletic body. I buy the superior genetics thing. He's good at everything he does. Bastard.

Considering how your body processes and reacts to it, I drink a ton of sweets disguised as beer.

Chips and Coke = sweets (most chips even if they don't have some form of sugar added) turn to sugar rapidly. And Coke, duh.

Tony....no

STEP OFF DUDE! OK?

Me? Step off? But I made sandwiches.

I never was big into sweets until around the time Blue Bell got pulled off the shelves. Used to buy ice cream on occasion to make shakes. They replaced BB with Mayfield's, and since they were 2 for 1 I grabbed a half gallon of Butter Pecan along with the Vanilla. I normally don't eat anything other than Vanilla and just grabbed it because it was 2 for 1. Since that night I've been eating Butter Pecan with hot Butterscotch syrup around 4 times/week. Had never eaten ice cream that often in my life before, and suddenly became addicted to it. Now, last week I was diagnosed with diabetes. Diet change isn't going to happen. Hell, I put 17 teaspoons of sugar in a mug of coffee every morning. That ain't gonna change.
