I am not in denial. I am a sugar addict and this I readily (proudly?) admit. We talk about cutting back, but then I feel that I have to bake a seasonal cake, or buy ice cream to soothe a bad day, or support fair trade with a hefty purchase of dark chocolate. There is nothing that cannot be made more special with a treat. Hence, sugar is what makes my world beautiful. Well, that and sparkly lights.
Then today on her show, Martha Stewart hinted that she eats dessert/sweets one or two times a week. Which made me think, am I normal or am I a sugar freak? So tell me, dear friends, how often do you eat sweets? Let’s take an informal little poll and lest you think that your confectionary consumption is shameful, allow me to start off by admitting that I indulge on average two or three times a day…

i was the same way, and had to have SOMETHING sweet at least once a day, but me and matt decided to nip the addiction in the bud. we did no sugar(really just desserts) for a couple of months. now we are down to sweets only once a week or so…i am trying to save eating sweets for when it really matters, or the holidays or whatever. i know that was a really long boring answer, but there you go :)

Several times a day (if we have it, but since I quit working it we haven’t had as much in the house), but I’m sure you could have guessed that! :)

I just foud your lovely blog via wide open spaces (comments). Sweets are a hard habit to break. I induldge probably 3 to 4 times per week and when I have a chocolate craving which I get at times I buy a great big Hersheys Chocolate Bar and eat a couple squares a day until it’s gone, unless my husband or son finds and then it’s gone sooner.

I just made funfetti cupcakes with the same sprinkly icing as the one in your picture. I eat sweets every day – a lady at our workplace passes them out at 2:00!

I sympathize with the workplace afternoon sugar fest – in my office it’s at 3, when we’re all falling asleep at our desks.
I also need to finish every meal with a little something sweet.

Phew, I’m glad I’m not the only one! We should develop a Sugar Addicts Support Society. ;)
