Why do I give you all this information? because David and I have been diagnosed with this disease which is quickly spreading across America. Asher is at risk for developing this disease as well.

Lately David and I CRAVE something sugary and yummy after every meal. For many weeks we just told ourselves that this was normal. We decided to face the truth and now we know that no this is not normal.

At parties why is it that everyone is okay with 1 or two cookies? but then I have to have three well maybe four and I am sure no one will notice if I have five Oh and this sixth one I promise it is for my husband.

Maybe its because we like to make things special? Why is it that we associate sugary desserts with things being special? Its okay if every once and awhile we celebrate with dessert but we are finding the oddest little things to celebrate just so that we can have our sugar fix.

Our cure is that we will limit ourselves to one yummy sweet thing a day (this week: Chocolate chip pumpkin cookies :) I feel that we have just accustomed our taste buds to love sweetness. When we tell ourselves that "O I just have a little sweet tooth right now" NOOOOO we always have a sweet tooth this is NOT an excuse! We have just trained our bodies to want things that are sweet. I think we can help our bodies by calming down on the sweetness, and after a while we wont have those little cravings every 1.5 hrs.

If you have any secrets about how you are able to beat your addiction to sweetness we would be much obliged to know.

I Emily Haralson am a sweetaholic. I have been sober for 5 hrs.

Wish us luck!
