@Sabirah: Silly comment reply thing won’t let me reply to your second comment, but that’s always unfortunate –organic/all natural/ good-for-you things tend to be so expensive, yet we have health issues that would be benefited from such things.

Anyway, I’m the opposite –I’d rather have a “real” dessert…something I need a fork and little fancy plate for (although optional, of course…my fingers have always worked well enough). But I do love tapioca, wether it counts as dessert or not. It’s sweet enough to be dessert to me.

Lol yes…brownies are. I’m weird b/c I’m not huge on desserts. I like sweet drinks. One of my favorites is getting those uber expensive juices that are all natural.

Glad I’m not the only one. I can’t even begin to explain how crushing it was to realize how little I remember. All the more reason to have this post up.

A thumbs up well deserved, I say! I’m using honey rather than sugar for my tea and coffee. Not the same, but definitely not bad either. I think having dessert every once in a while, maybe every few weeks (or months?) would be okay, but I can’t go back to often I used to have it. There are also ways to make desserts without sugar…like making sugarless brownies using black beans or something? Sounds odd, but maybe it’s worth a shot. Brownies are always worth a shot!

Ahhh…no sugar in my tea. I tried it for a few months because of my husband. Unfortunately, I love tea with sugar way too much. First, I switched to raw sugar for a good year…and now I’m falling off and returning to white sugar. I limit myself to one cup of tea a day and sacrifice dessert. Sigh…maybe one day I can give up sugar. I give myself a thumbs up for giving up soda

As long as you pop into twitter once in awhile it’s okay! And that Venn diagram – pretty much describes my whole life…

Oh man, I remember those discussions we had and pictures we sent to each other via texts…of nothing but dessert(s).

I simultaneously congratulate you and apologize for getting you to join my past dessert-y escapades.

Oh, wow, that’s very sweet (punny!) and awesome of you to support your mom like that! Well, I’m cutting back gradually; tried to do all of it cold-turkey, but I think the withdrawal symptoms would be too intense.

I will not support you in this…..what do you mean, no salt? At all?!?! And sorry,but that’s not moderation! That’s “everything in extreme” …hah! No sugar….crazy premed. But in seriousness, let me know how it goes. Your sugary ways have traveled to Florida and taken over my body.
