Always going over my sugar intake

Unless you have a medical issue, don't worry about it.

Very difficult to keep under the sugar intake as so many unexpected foods contain sugar. Very strange though - Morrisons after dinner peppermint cremes showed no sugar content ( just noticed too late !!!) oops

what everyone else said. I asked the same question before myself. I had three fruits in one day and seeing that red almost killed me. There are lots of posts on here (what everyone told me) about refined vs natural sugars. FYI....I don't track sugar anymore for that very reason.

Sugar is sugar, be it refined or natural. Sugar tracking is there for a reason so I would track it. Yogurt is full of refined sugar as well as granola bars.

Your liver can only process so much sugar before the excess has to be stored as fat. I believe the recommended daily amount is 50 grams a day which is more than my allowance here of 29 grams. I eat about 1400 cals a day and rarely go over. You don't need a medical condition to watch your sugar.

I had a yogurt tonight, healthy, them looked at the sugar. 30 carbs and 30 of it was sugar.!!!! Won't be having that again.

I recommend tracking it.

I would try to limit the sugary yogurt and granola. Some of them have surprisingly high amounts of added sugar. But don't worry about the sugar from fruit. Some say that "sugar is sugar", despite the source, but it's not quite that simple.

If yogurt is a favorite snack for you, you can try getting low-sugar Greek yogurt and mixing in a little stevia and berries.

Yes, sugar is sugar .. but natural sugar is not processed by the body as quickly due to the other nutrients within the food.

The second part of your comment is false.

Excess sugar will only be stored as fat if it causes you to go above your TDEE. If in a deficit excess sugar caused you to gain weight I'd be huge (and all my sugar comes from fruits). Sugar is not the enemy as people seem to assume it is. Avoid/limit refined/added sugars but don't worry about natural sugars. The limit here is for added/refined sugar, not natural sugar however when logging you can't separate them.
