REAL sweet tooth poll.

OK. Here.

Sorry about the multiple posts-- I didn't know what I was doing, apparantly.

Anyway-- I am a bit confused that the baby doesn't seem to like sweets. At all. This morning, I made blueberry walnut pancakes, one of my food staples, and the maple syrup i put on top just ruined everything. i ended up just eating the bacon.
normally, i would just eat cookies all day, if i weren't concerned about health... now the thought of a desert, even a milkshake, makes me nauseus.

just bumping this to the top of the dud polls list.

Here's my response from the other "boll"

I never had much of a sweet tooth to beging with, but sweet things have been turning my stomach this time around. I even drink ruby red grapefruit juice at a ratio of 1 part juice to 2 parts water. The only exception has been lemon italian ice - that I could happily eat every day.

I've had a pack of Ballerina cookies from IKEA in the house for three weeks now.



They aren't even opened yet!!!!

Sugar hurts my teeth---bad!!!! I have advanced periodontal disease, which means that the roots of my teeth and the nerves that are supposed to be covered up by bone and gum tissue are exposed to the elements. Sweets, heat, and cold all cause excruciating pain.

It's a blessing in disguise, because I had the biggest sweet tooth you could imagine at one time! When I was in college, I could down an entire pound of Halvah in one sitting and go back to the store the next day to buy another pound.

Since bean has made her debut on the stage of life, I haven't been tempted or interested in the slightest. I can sympathize with my client's difficult adjustment to the dietary changes she needs to make to control her diabetes, but I dread having her offer me a piece of candy or a bit of anything sweet and needing to think of a polite way to ask her to stop before I puke all over her.

Hopefully this is a harbinger of things to come, because ds totally bought into the sugar-as-entertainment trash culture and teenagers can spend a lot of money on artificially flavoured sweetened food substitute products! dd is more reasonable, but hardly immune to the advertising and peer pressure. Wouldn't it be great if our little ones grew up to resist all that marketing crap!

I went from having a big sweet tooth (yet rarely acting on it- we don't do sugar much in our household except for the occasional fair trade organic dark chocolate) to not really wanting sweets of any kind except for the occasional EcoRound or ice cream. I've been craving protein mostly (I think that's where the ice cream comes in) and at the moment I'd do just about anything for some guacamole and chips!

The whole ice cream thing....normally I love, love, love it. The first evening I didn't feel well, I sent DH to McD's for a chocolate milkshake. Normally the biggest treat in the world for me.

It hurt me so bad that night....I was up all night dealing with.

Same thing for a treat from Coldstone Creamery....

So while my teeth might like it, um, my body certainly doesn't

Oh, it totally would, except-- what am I craving? Pizza!! And not even homemade healthy pizza, but crappy chain pizza! There's a Papa John's a few blocks away that I hadn't set foot in in the 3 years we've lived here... until yesterday..... mmmm, greasy, squishy pizza.....
So I went from pretty healthy homemades sweet treats to THIS!!! : So much for a healthy baby.

I normally have a huge sweet tooth but since MS started I haven't had an urge for anything sweet, it actually sounds really bad. But I am totally embracing it and hope it'll be a new habit

I usually like salty snacks and don't care for sweets, but the past few weeks, I want cakes, cookies, anything like that (in addition to the salty ones of course )

So I'm from nonexistant to controlled.

Very sweet toothy here! I'm eating a box of cookies as I type. :
