I’ve said this on here before and will say it again, I’m sure. I don’t do guilt. At this point in my life I’ve learned it’s an utterly useless emotion. I either eat something and am ok with it, or don’t eat it. I also am always bemused by these posts from people who “feel guilty” and are “trying to avoid” certain food, going on and on describing them…lol
That having been said, I haven’t eaten sugar in 17 years and when I get some by accident it tastes disgustingly sweet to me. I get lots of enjoyment from the healthy yummy foods I eat. I also get enjoyment from non-food sources.
I really LOVE dark chocolate. I have loved it since I was a kid, but you could never find it. ( except on a Mounds bar ) Now since it has been touted by the "powers that be " as a “healthy” food, it is everywhere. I can even be picky as to the kind I buy. I like the 70% or 85% cocao. Maybe it doesn’t qualify as a Sweet treat, 'cause it isn’t really sweet.
yes Zoe! once you break the sugar addiction it’s not so tasty to go back. my treat is 85% dark chocolate. 2 or 3 squares. it used to be 70% dark chocolate, but that tastes sooo sweet theses days.
I would have to say chips, although I eat popcorn to replace that craving sometimes its just not enough to make me stop thinking about cheetos…Next would have to be chocolate, like oreos or a warm brownie…Then cheesecake, although The Cheesecake Factory makes a delish low-carb version its still a no no…
Cupcakes or Birthday cake and with that sickeningly sweet butter icing, not the gross whipped icing. Yes that is my guilty pleasure, hahaaha. I try to be really good and not eat a lot of junk anymore, but save it for a cupcake or bday cake. LOL makes turning a year older all worth while.
