I prefer my hot drinks (tee, coffee) without sugar, but other than that it's a sugar bonanza. Definitely can't go a day without something sweet, usually more than one. Today is a pretty average weekday: Two medium sized choc chop cookies, a tiny chocolate bar and a chocolate muffin so far, but my brain is starting to crave and I still have about four hours left until bedtime...

Never had any problems with weight gain because I'm a small eater compared to my height/frame and have a decent combustion. If I ever start gaining weight (muscle weight not included) I'm going to start cutting though. I dread that day, I'm worried it might make my life considerably less enjoyable.

about 1 serving a month or less. If I lived in a place that took dessert seriously, Japan or Europe, I'd be inclined to eat 30 servings/month or more. Not really a chocolate fiend, and I have this engrained motto in my soul that men shouldn't eat sweets, so I don't really do them. I love sorbets in meals and savoury ice creams, I just don't particularly like sitting down to a tower of fluff and lace with a downsized piece of silverware.

I eat sweets daily (and nightly). Today at work I've almost finished off a 10 oz. container of Trader Joes Dark Chocolate Mint Creams. When I get home I have a **** load of Easter candy, and I'll munch on it all evening. Don't even mention cake to me......

You sound dangerously pre-diabetic.

I don't think its in the genes, brother... my mom and sisters are closet chocolate eaters, and I also consumed copious amounts of sweets when I was a kid... I don't know, somehow it just turned out this way, and I'm not complaining at all.

very rarely. always choose the cheese plate after a meal.

find sugar in coffee disgusting. sugar in tea is unbearable. sweet alcoholic drinks are the devils work.

^Haha. I stop by there like, everyday after work to grab one or two. And when they're sold out I'll pig out on one of the dozen-count mini-bags. I really need to kick this habit before the summer season.

The only thing I have in a given week that would qualify as sweets would be at most a teaspoon of natural peanut butter now and then, and I use a small amount of coffee mate fat free creamer in my coffee when I wake up.

I'm not a sweets eater, but I'm absolutely defenseless to saltwater taffy, Hot Tamales, and cheesecake. They're the only three things I can't decline under any circumstance.

My family loves sweets. Our dessert table at Christmas or Thanksgiving overflows with syruppy sweet montrosities. These occasions have broke me of what I grew up believing as desserts. Today I enjoy a nice dessert that has a few more flavors than Karo syrup and buttercream icing.

My mom loves to bake cakes and pies, and is really good at it. I'm visiting my folks this weekend and know that I'll be eating lots of delicious desserts all weekend.
