How often do you eat sweets? Poll

bigtuna486 · October 2014

I'm curious to know how often you all have sweets during the day (not including healthy sugar like fruit). I usually have some type of dessert everyday, like cookies, ice cream or candy bars. I was eating my bowl of ice cream today and started wondering if it was bad that I eat something sweet everyday. (This is my first poll, hopefully I did it right)!

MrsRoy07 · October 2014

Every. Day. Without fail, and sometimes more than once a day.

foxslaw · October 2014

There wasn't a multiple times a day option.

kefttsc · October 2014

I'm so glad I'm not alone in the every day category. I don't really like cake or cookies or ice cream a whole lot, but pure candy is my drug. I'll have a few handfuls of sour patch kids, gobstoppers or something of the sort most afternoons. Sometimes, DH will make me a banana milkshake before bed, or we'll have a few (2) cookies. Last night, we saw a movie, so it was nerds

Everyday. Sometimes twice a day.

jennjilljo · October 2014

Lately I feel like I need to eat sweets daily up to multiple times a day or I get sick and lethargic.

Irishcurls · October 2014

I actually was just thinking about this, how I'm surprised at myself for not eating more. For some reason I thought I would crave more? But I'm still on my normal few times a week thing. We never have dessert in the house, so it's usually a one-off thing I bake or a particular day that has me realllllly cranky at work and I go buy candy. But on a regular basis there is nothing sweet in our house.

erobbins09 · October 2014

Yeah... I've been baking like crazy... But my PG ADD cravings make me want exactly 2 cupcakes or 3 cookies from a batch so I send the rest with FI to work to get rid of then I make something else.... Everyone around me is going to gain sympathy weight. I made like 30 peanut butter rice crispy chocolate covered balls yesterday (think buckeyes with rice crispies)... It's a problem.

chickyclg · October 2014

I am a rarely eats sweets person right now which shocks the hell out of me because pre pregnancy, I could eat sweets all day every day. The babies just don't like sweets, anytime I eat them I get sick shortly after.

hopefulsprout · October 2014

I need an option for more than once per day. Then again, I've gained a little too much weight so far, so I'm not the best example. ;-)

Cookie0875 · October 2014

Some weeks, I eat sweets every day, some weeks it's just a few times. So of course, to make myself feel a little better about it, I said a few times a week on the poll. Now, however, I have thought about the amazing peanut butter cake at a local restaurant and I MUST have some. I make my own at home, but it's not the same. I NEED theirs. And I had a greasy burger and fries today from 5 Guys....this is not good... FWIW, I haven't eaten 5 Guys in years, and there's one right across the street from my office, so my restraint thus far through PG has been good.

dreemkin84 · October 2014

I think you are either a "sweets" or "savoury" type person. I'd rather have a handful of salty chips than a dessert.

mamabumkin · October 2014

I don't have sweets everyday. But a few times a week most weeks. I had a super craving for sweet-tarts for like three weeks, then had a craving for nerds...but at most I have a few at a time. I'm not one for tolerating large quantities of sugar at one time, makes me sick. I did pick up some gummy bears and jelly belly beans from the candy shop in the mall. I have had a couple out of the bag, but they are sitting on my nightstand untouched for a few days now. I told my DH that he may have to eat them before they go funny. Of course with two other children they are always willing to finish off any candy I have left over.

crystalw88 · October 2014

Had cake for breakfast....I regret nothing.

Jealous of your FI. Seriously!

OMG your Halloween costume fail picture!!!! WTF were those parents thinking!!

lizzybean · October 2014

Sooooo glad to see my awesome vipers rocking the sweets every day category. I've been doing a lot of candy or chocolate or ice cream daily. My sweet tooth is crazy while pregnant!

WanderingA · October 2014

I ate cookies at 9:30am today, best decision ever. I eat sweets everyday, usually ice cream or cookies after Adeline goes to bed so she doesn't get any (mean mommy)!!

toadandbug12 · October 2014

I haven't been as terrible as I thought I would be pregnant, but I definitely haven't been restricting myself. I made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies twice and devoured them each time. I craved brownies with ice cream too and made those.... but overall, I don't think indulging every now and then is a bad thing. It helps even out all the other bad symptoms of pregnancy!

lizzybean · October 2014

Haha @WanderingA‌ I do the the same thing!! Treats come out at nap time and night time so I don't have Ella begging me for some.

freegiraffe · October 2014

Every day. I normally don't even have a sweet tooth and will pass up dessert all the time, but it's been daily while pregnant. I have "lunch dessert" and "dinner dessert" and candy in between.

lilybug319 · October 2014

DH thought I was crazy for going to the store yesterday because I NEEDED sour gummy worms and cool whip for the pumpkin pie I had just baked and I needed sprinkles for the gingerbread cookies I made while the pie was baking. It's like this every few days.

WanderingA · October 2014

@lizzybean She just learned the sign for "more." Yesterday I gave her a few bites of icecream after we got back from the park and after we finished it she followed me around for 5 minutes signing "more" over and over and over. I wish I had gotten a video!

katiekeller · October 2014

Sunday night I had vanilla ice cream with peanut butter sauce for dinner, Tuesday's dinner was half of a coconut custard pie & a quart of milk......I seriously can't stop myself!!

erobbins09 · October 2014

@ckimberley14‌ come over.. I can wax your hooha and give you some treats

....that came across way more flirty than I had intended $:\$ ">

lailou · October 2014

Since I've become pregnant my sweet tooth has disappeared.

jennjilljo · October 2014

Party at @erobbins09‌'s house!

christenld · October 2014

Since I had to go gluten-free due to celiac disease a few years ago, I rarely eat sweets anymore. The gluten free ones are expensive, and alternate flours for baking aren't cheap either. It's a big treat nowadays for me. I thought I would be worse pregnant, but my SO is hitting the ice cream WAY worse than I am!

This thread really does make me want sweets though...

:-<

thejollyrancher · October 2014

I haven't craved "sweets" just tons of fruit and savoury stuff:)

JMUgrad05 · October 2014

I've felt guilty at the end of the day a few times thinking that I've had way too many sweets. I'm trying to be better but defiantly craving sweets more than anything else!

samanthajphoto · October 2014

@erobbins09‌ sounds like my kind of date! Someone feeding me sweets while taking care of grooming needs for me. I must pitch this to DH.

I begrudgingly shaved my legs after 2 weeks today... Gross, I know. And only because I have to go to a wedding tomorrow.

Sahara6971 · October 2014

I have a can of soda daily for the caffeine to keep my headaches under control. Other than that, I don't eat too many sweets.

bigtuna486 · October 2014

Well I feel better about my sweet tooth now haha! I should have put a multiple times a day option, I knew I was forgetting something! Off to go stuff my face with oreos. =P~

dchmelyk · October 2014

About a month ago I made the "mistake" of buying a Costco bag of candy "for Halloween". My husband saw right through it but said nothing. I opened it the next day. Those kids that come to the door are getting all my rejected candy (if there is any by that point!)...

lauren889 · October 2014

I have been eating sweets like crazy. And now this poll made me want jelly beans. Off to the store I go

MrsH11710 · October 2014

I eat sweets every day, definitely! Pre-pregnancy I used to eat my dessert at night after DD went to bed, but this pregnancy hasn't agreed with that arrangement. So now I usually eat dessert sometime after lunch. I definitely try to eat sweets in moderation but I have no guilt eating it!

Sounds like a good time!!

BeckyP005 · October 2014

First 3.5 months I couldn't even look at sweets but I'm sure making up for it now! @musicgirl524 oh how I love those Little Debbie cakes!

Alygohome · October 2014

Tbh I am not a sweets fan. Chocolate, pop, cake ect all make me feel sick even not pregnant. I am a spicy food addict though... I could easily polish off a basket of hot wings with every meal!
