I need sugar.

[Odonata]

I've been SO GOOD with eating for the past month or so.  Clean, healthy, and very very little processed sugar (I might make a milkshake with a small scoop of ice  ream maybe once a week or have a small piece of chocolate one day.)

I was excellent over Easter.  I had no candy AT ALL.

But now I can't get those egg malt balls out of my head.  I know at the CVS right down the street they have TONS of it on sale from the holiday.  I could go get a nice bag and just eat all of them.  

I want to eat all the candy.  All of it.  How do I relieve these really strong cravings and not go nuts with sugar?  I just had some honeydew melon and it didn't help.  I want the real shit.  Fruit isn't cutting it.  It's like I'm craving cigs again, only it's sweets.  I'm on edge!

I'm really not the one to ask. I've been eating any and everything. Maybe get individual little bags of whatever candy you want? Then you'll just be eating a serving.

[Odonata]

I might get some and then have my husband "hold" it and only let me ask for candy once a day.

BUT, he'll just eat it all, since that's what I usually have to do for him, lol.

Maybe I'll store it in the basement on the treadmill - guilt myself into working out if I'm going to eat it.

Go for it. Eat the candy. You'll feel better.

I did it! Easter candy, 50% off. Got two bags of "Robin's Eggs" (from Woppers) and I just ate half of one bag - on the drive home.

Ahhhhh, it's like a sugar orgasm. I feel SO MUCH BETTER. Guilty, but better. I hope this isn't like when you scratch a mosquito bite and it only itches more later.

I've developed a major sweet tooth. But apparently I'm also more disciplined because I've been able to limit myself to small servings (like 4 thin mints or a small handful of Cadbury mini eggs or a small scoop of ice cream per day). But I need my sugar!!!

I've been able to do this, too.  But today is a fluke.  I can't seem to satisfy it!  I hope this isn't forever! 

Sometimes having some melon will also calm down the craving.

I've now made myself sugar sick.  Ugg, *urp*  Good.  Now maybe I'll hate these damn things that have haunted my thoughts all damn day.

Because for me I know it's not just eating candy, it's eating the whole damn bag and then some.  Like CANDY OVERLOAD.  

I normally never eat sweets outside of a few times a week so it's strange for me to do it in this quantity, I guess.

If there was ever a time for eating a whole bag of candy it's pregnancy

Same. I've always had a sweet tooth but I am ridonk lately. I gave up chocolate for Lent but I got hooked on gummy candies instead.  Go me.
