is it addictive?
is it a narcotic? i read once "sugar is the most damaging narcotic known to man" - source: unknown. true: probably not.
either way, tonight, i was watchin tv after a day of not eating any sweets.. i usually have quite a high sugar intake, but todays was pretty low. however i became restless and all i could think about was jumpin into the car and goin to buy some sweets. so i did :)
cravings stopped for a while, but now i think i want more chocolate :( |

| depends on your physiology but sugar generally isnt very good for you, especially the refined sugars you find in candy. for me, it makes me really tired and has an ugly effect on my skin. i know there is more to it than that but those are the things that affect me most. but i do find that when i lay off sugar i tend to feel a lot better. |

this is off topic, but i said the word preggers to my bf a few weeks ago and he had no idea what i was talking about. did i pick up that word on this board? i thought it was normal american slang... |

if you aren't eating sugar, your body will turn carbohydrates you eat to glucose anyways, so whats the point of avoiding sugar totally?
Eat some fruit, thats some tasty sugar |
