How many here can eat sweets????

Hi there.  I cannot eat sweets.  I dump, dump, dump.  Sugar I should say.  I try to stay away from it anyway, because that is what got me here in the first place.  My downfall is cheese.  Love it, and can still eat it.  But I try to use the no fat, and in moderation.  GOOD LUCK!!

Hi Kathleen,

My downfall is cheese also.  I can still eat it too.  I don't eat alot of it, but I eat it more than I eat carbs.  I hardly eat any carbs, mostly protein.  As a matter of fact some of my friends gave me the name Cheese a few years ago, because I love cheese so much. Thanks for your reply.

Hi - I have more of an issue with fats... though that has lessened a bit from say 6 months ago.

I don't usually dump on sugar, but have - for some reason sherbert tends to make me ill...

and i've dumped on pina coladas... but not always...

I don't do sugar too often... i eat chocolate sometimes... but only dark chocolate since it's so good for you... and since i dont' really like it too much i can eat just a bit of it...

i put sugar (flavored creamer) in my coffee daily and it's my treat for the day usually... but if i want a cookie or cake, i eat it... i just don't do it very often... and if so, it's 1/2 a cookie or a very small slice of cake.

He didn't operate on my brain, but the past year i have really worked on learning how to be okay with just a bite or 2 of a treat... and that's just a miracle!  And i don't even do the treats very often!

I can and do eat any and all sweets in moderation.

I can eat sweets and can tolerate quite a bit.  If fat is mixed with sugar, then I can tolerate more since the fat is slowing the metabolism of the sugar.

The worst is that I may feel a little gassy and get a mild feeling of indigestion.

I don't "dump" on sweets but I don't feel really good either. I get tired and sometimes my stomach just doesn't feel good.

I try to avoid them and allow myself a sugar free dove raspberry dark chocolate every now and again when I need something.

I'm about 15 months out and I still dump on anything over 10g of sugar. I get light-headed, sweaty, racing heart, abdominal pain, and then fall into a sleep coma for about 2 hours. It's only happened 2 or 3 times, but it definitely serves as a good reminder.

Ice cream and cheesecake are my two major downfalls. So I make homemade SF ice cream and homemade SF cheesecake when I get the craving and I'm good with that.

Never have been a big chocolate fan so I can pass up most any candy.

Sometimes if I eat too many refined carbs (which I don't do very often) I will fall fast asleep for an hour or so. Probably reactive hypoglycemia, but I just avoid them and I do ok.

I eat sweets every single day.  My favorites are sweet tarts, Werther's, peanut M&M's, snickers, and Reese's pieces.  So long as my scale continues to behave, I will keep having them.  I'll cut back when I have to.  But for now I'm having fun!  I don't have any weird issues with sweets, I have weird issues with being told I can't have something.

I eat anything not nailed down...I am one of those who only dumps on dairy...I dont dump on sugar or fat !  I often wished that I did...maybe then I would not be so tempted...however, since I came back to the boards (2 wks now) I havent had any sugar, caffeine or fried foods !  It is killing me softly...but I am determined to get back to my goal...that is to get to goal!
