Yum !
I am a sugar addict. I think I was born one. I don't know if that is really possible, but my history from a very young age seems to support it.
I love sweets of many kinds. I resist a lot, but not nearly enough. Although I love cakes and pastries and the such, candy is my drug. The closer it is to a lump of sugar, the more I like it.
So.... as happens with someone who does not resist enough, I have known I have diabetes for several years. It's terrible because now I should not have anything I crave, sweets nor breads..... breads ....breads....I love them too. I have probably resisted breads enough and other high carb foodie foods, but I have not resisted enough candy.
It's stupid. I've been an adult for many years and I know better, but it might as well be legal crack that can be obtained cheaply on any corner.
I'm sure my death will come sooner than it should have had too because of it. You would think that fact would scare anyone away from any addiction.... and yet.....
Oh yeah, yum is the word!
You raise some points I have thought about myself. I guess those deliberations ended in me committing to doing the right thing and so I limit the intake of certain foods, have eliminated others and use injections for those times I feel I want to have a little of something that my system won't deal well with without the injection. I seem to find a balance, health and the ability to have a little of the things I really love but should not have. I guess I thought about the dying thing and decided I'd not like to tempt fate right now...I'm sure there'll be a time when I simply don't care though. I'm not afraid of dying in the least bit, but I have some life to live still so I'll hang around.
