why does everything yummy have too much sugar?

Klondike bars often go on sale at Publix, buy one, get one 1/2 price....so when they are, I buy them. Usually the no sugar added ones, and I can eat those no problem.

Last time I got the chocolate mint and the Reese's PB cup ones....they are very high in sugar....only DH and son eat those...I'm too scared. It has taken me 3 years to FINALLY just stay away from some things because I KNOW what will happen.....so now my brain says DANGER! DANGER! DO NOT CONSUME!

I'm a slow learner. Damn I want a Klondike now.

I think I might be the only person on earth who hates Klondike bars. o.O

Now, a caramel-filled Dumstick cone with the little fudge tip in the cone? Ohhhhhh yeah.
I'm not usually too much of a sweets-junkie, but ice cream is a whole different story. I could embarass myself with some ice cream.

My favorite obsession is a tall, decaf, nonfat, sugarfree iced mocha from Kaldis. It's basically just flavored milk, but it's served ice cold, and it effectively tricks me into thinking I'm having a truly decadent splurge.

Mmmmm. A Kaldis' gift card would be the best gift ever.

I live in NY and we have a gas station/store called Stewarts. They actually have an ice cream, Vanilla only, that is 80 cals, 3 sugars and i forgot how many carbs for a 1/2 cup. Kinda tastes like frozen cool whip. I purchased it before surgery to give it a try. Its not bad. Maybe with some sugar free syrup it would taste a little better. I LOVE pizza and oh boy do I wish I could get my hands on a slice right now lol. Both Pizza and Ice cream are my weakness. Sighhh

My NUT told me yesterday that the Dryers Slow Churn mini's were good to have. She said the sugar in them is mostly from skim milk.

Mmmm...sugar (said in the same tone that zombies uses when they say "brains...")

Since my surgery almost 8 weeks ago I've had exactly one bite of a sugary treat, a donut that my husband was eating. That one bite actually satisfied me! I hope my ability to pass on sugary treats stays this strong!

Annie, I'm with you, I'm just 4 days ahead of you having had my surgery on the 25th. And like you, I've allowed myself one sweet treat and that was a teaspoon of nutella. And oddly, I didn't really enjoy it.....this from the woman who used to sit down with the Costco sized jar and eat half of it in one sitting. I decided it wasn't worth the calories and lack of nutrition. Now, the trick will be keeping this mental attitude up. This is why I keep coming back here to help me stay honest with myself.

playing devil's advocate, but at least some of those are lactose sugar grams :-p

on another note, ice cream is the one thing that can make me dump like crazy. i've started buying the kid's dixie cups, 90 cals and they satisfy that ice cream bug without dumping. plus they are single serving
