I wouldn't call myself a sugar addict but I sure would like to have a big piece (or two) of this right now.

I used to use sugar on my cereal, but for the past few years, I have eaten it without sugar. Oatmeal is the exception, as I have tried honey, but it doesn't store well, so I use a little sugar. As far as cake, Ike, I do indulge on occasion, and once in a while, we buy a cake when there is no birthday.:D (small cake....small servings)
 
I cut out sugar and concentrated sweets a few years ago.

I can't have them in the house, no willpower.

I fall off the wagon a couple of times a year and buy an individual serving of pie, cake or cookies.

I'm like Bea about keeping sweets in the house, so I don't. No store bought cake for years. It has to be made from scratch. That's my punishment---do I really want to go through all that trouble just for cake. The answer is "Yes" sometimes.

Oatmeal is the only cereal I ever eat because it doesn't require milk, but not often. I would load it with sugar.

I've learned to use artificial sweeteners in everything you don't have to cook. My downfall is candy bars, because they are up at the checkout line calling your name, even at Lowes and Home Depot.:rolleyes:
 
I'm not a sugar addict, but I do have a sweet tooth. Growing up my parent's never used sugar in their coffee, and I'm the same way as they were, no sugar in cereal, cream of wheat or anything like like. I do like ice cream and have some in the house right now, and a good quality blueberry pie. I never drink sodas, waaaay too sweet tasting for me, just plain seltzer water, no salt, sugar or flavoring.

I have been drinking Snapple Peach Iced Tea, for a few years, instead of Pepsi and soda. We keep some for when my daughter stops. I noticed it says "Made With Real Sugar"on the can. It turned out to be her favorite. I don't think....and Pepsi doesn't claim, that it is healthier. "It’s an attempt to expand a product category that is struggling to build sales." In addition, these drinks use retro packaging.
 
I'm diabetic so I have to avoid sugar as much as possible. The problem is ,sugar and salt are added to everything! Check the labels. It is a marketing tool, people buy things that taste good so manufacturers add sugar and salt. I use Splenda (sucralose) in my iced tea and there are a few candies that use artificial sweetners that will satisfy my sugar cravings.

I agree, having sugar added to so many foods is very annoying. On the Fourth of July I purchased a little one cup saucer of potato salad from the deli. I thought it tasted sweet so I read the label and sure enough it contained sugar. Why??? Checking nutrition labels on the internet takes me more time these days than the actual grocery shopping.

I use a couple of Splenda packets a week in cooking. I also buy a small bag of chocolate candy sweetened with alcohol sugar for Easter, Christmas, etc... Those little splurges make me feel like I'm still in the game, LOL!!!
 
I certainly am a sugar addict. I put cakes and cookies that are gluten free just for me way in the bottom of my chest freezer. I don't know why I do it because It doesn't stop me from unloading the whole freezer to get at them and then I end up eating it frozen. Actually some of the stuff tastes pretty good frozen.
 
I could very easily be a sugar addict but am not thanks to having a little will power. I don't like a lot of sugary things but do like cakes and pies; I don't buy them very often.
 
I guess a real sugar addict will break into their neighbor's home and steal a cup of sugar!:confused:
