cupcakes that rule and why I have a sugar problem
I've been feeling rather out of it today and have had ZIP to post about, thank god my friend Lauren emailed me a gem.
I would like to start this post with a confession: I have a sweet-tooth that is rather embarassingly large. I have to eat some kind of dessert-type thing after I eat a meal. I have to. HAVE TO. Because I'm apparently building a case to put my mother in jail for bad parenting*, I give you exhibit A of why I have a sweet tooth. (I can't actually show you exhibit A because I can't find the photo right now, but it exists somewhere because Micah needed real proof at one point so I took a picture). You know those 3-tiered hanging fruit baskets that normal people put things like bananas, apples, oranges, etc in? Well, that would just not make sense for my mother. Our basket was full of CANDY. A FRUIT basket full of CANDY. All 3 tiers. I'll post the photo later if I find it.
And that is just one example of why I have a bad, bad addiction to all things sugary.
Naomi makes cupcakes that are so fantastic, I would feel bad eating them. For like...3 minutes and then I would dive right in because I LOVE CUPCAKES. Obviously. I'm torn on which are my favorite, but the Super Mario Bros 2 is probably right at the top because that's my favorite Mario game. Clearly due to the fact that you can be the princess and fly around a bit, kicking some serious butt.
*My mother is actually a wonderful person who only let us eat whatever the hell we wanted as kids because she vowed to never make her child eat anything they didn't want to eat, like her father did. Please do not call CPS on her, she has no children in her care anymore and claims to not even eat candy anymore.

I too have a sugar problem. I think it's about the only addiction I have, but it's bad. My solution for needing something sweet to end a meal is simple: Orbit gum in Spearmint. I even allow myself to chew more than one piece if it becomes flavorless.
You have me beat on the fruit basket full of candy that is hilarious to no end! My parents were the opposite, I didn't have anything sweet until I was three! But, when I finally got my hands on it I never let it go. So, perhaps the extremes are just no good :)
I remember you eating a spoonful of brown sugar when you had nothing else sweet around. hahahahha!
It's totally true, I occasionally eat brown sugar because the cravings are so horribly intense! I've dragged Billy into my addiction to Take 5's, the best candy bar ON EARTH!
It's good to know I'm not alone. All this talk about sugar is making me want some pie.
these cupcakes look delicious.
your mom sounds fabulous.
I totally understand about the sugar addiction - and it IS an addiction.
What if the overeating on sugar is just a sign that you have an imbalanced biochemistry, nothing more? And that by changing what and when you eat you can heal your body, stop the bingeing, and know what to do to prevent it from happening ever again?
I know that changing what and when I eat has made a huge impact on how I feel.
I have been working with a program which has helped me immensely.
Would you be interested in hearing any more?
