Sugar -- oh how I luv ya!

I just can't stop eating sugar. I love sugar. I love candy bars and cookies and even catsup, a combination of the best things -- veggie and sugar! Actually the best things together are sugar and fats, but I'm trying to turn a new leaf so if you can get nutrition and sugar, well, what is more perfect than that?

The sad part is that sugar will be the death of me if I continue on this path. I have diabetes and I still can't control my sugar consumption. I stopped eating candy bars and now eat protein bars that are quite good, and good for me. They are full of protein and vitamins and minerals, all that quality stuff. I just had a thought -- candied tomatoes! Zucchini donuts! Broccoli with brown sugar and cinnamon! Ok, I'll admit I've gone too far. I still think that protein bars are better for me than a snickers bar. Can you see it too?

This is the one thing I need to stop if I want to lose the extra person I carry strapped to my back. Bananas are almost sweet enough. Dried pineapple or dates really meet my need. So, just like a junkie I will skulk off into the dark, hoping no one will see me, and stock up!!
