I have to admit

I have a sweet tooth.

That should be no surprise to many of my friends. I AM picky about what sweets I eat. For some reason I sometimes think that makes a difference. I know it doesn't. Just because I don't like white chocolate macadamia nut cookies doesn't mean I won't eat 6 boxes of thin mints in a month. So. The whole 'picky' thing matters in my head but not to my butt.

The worst part is I am starting to feel sick after I eat sugary stuff. You'd think this would be a good thing, right? Like maybe this means I won't want it - and I can stop eating it without too much withdrawal, right? Nope. That just means I feel sick to my stomach a lot now. Yesterday I had my way with some tastykake mini donuts. A lot of them. Then for 6 hours I was sick to my stomach. I didn't eat dinner because my stomach hurt. But what do you think I did this morning? Went and got a BK Mocha Joe from Burger King. Ohhhh, but it tasted so good! So now here I sit. An upset stomach. Waiting for it to pass so I can go get a blizzard. Sad. I know.

I guess my sweet tooth is a little more like a serious, insane, disgusting addiction that I act like I care about, but really don't...? Well, maybe I act like I DON'T care, but I really do. Is it like smoking? I really don't think I could quit my sweets. Scared to try. I think I'd be happier if I could just stop eating it - but the process of doing so is too scary. I did it once before and I felt horrible. But was it worse than getting sick every time I eat something? Ugh. Maybe it's time to try again. All my clean eaters out there, hook me up with a little advice!

  1. I must admit that with you being picky it tends to keep me from eating everything! Being the exact opposite went it comes to food, I can't imagine much stopping me if you were not there to pull me back in every once and a while.
