Dessert Is The Most Important Meal of the Day!

My name is Trina...and I'm a Sweetaholic.

And I don't just mean that I "like" sweets; no, I devour them, day and night.

On any given day, I'll consume

   (This isn't exact; some days I may have more cookies and less candy or any mix of the    following, but the total amount is roughly the same)

- 1 bag of candy (jelly beans, gummy worms, nonpareils, et al)

- 5-6 cookies

- 2 bowls of ice cream

- assorted other treats that may be in the house, to include candy bars, pudding cups,       marshmallows, sweet children's cereal, pieces of cake/pie, etc.

Yes. Seriously. No, I am not exaggerating.

And I don't just EAT the sweets, either. Oh, no; that would be too easy. There's a method to my madness - WhatEVER candy I'm eating, I do it in a particuar order, eating from my least favorite to my most favorite... So, for instance, I eat jelly beans as follows: red, pink, yellow, green, purple, white, orange, black, ALWAYS in that order. In fact, I adore the black ones, so I'll often get bags of just black ones,stockpiling them after Easter, for instance, when they're in abundance...Funnily enough, though, I can't stand Twizzlers, red OR black. Go figure. *shrug*

Speaking of Easter, I also have my fave candies that appear around many holidays:

- Valentine's Day is BRACH's Conversation Hearts (the Necco Sweethearts are too         hard) and those marshmallow treats, with chocolate outsides

- St. Patrick's Day brings Shamrock Shakes from McD's (oh my god, YES!)

- Easter has black jelly beans and those 'Hide 'N Seek' Eggs (the ones with the hard-ish     marshmallow center and hard candy outside) and Peeps

- Halloween is black jelly beans and more Peeps

- Thanksgiving is EVERYTHING

- Christmas is EVERYTHING. x2

HOW I haven't either gained a ton of weight or gotten diabetes is beyond me, but neither has been the case. In fact, at my last Doctor's app't, my blood sugar levels were a "bit low"; I don't know much about such things, but I can't help but wonder if that's why I crave sweets so much. Like, is that how it works?

In any case, I've got a box of Lucky Charms that are calling out to me, so I'll go for now.

Happy Sweet'ing!
