!Sugarholics Anonymous!
Confession; I have a serious sweet tooth. It's bad. Most of the time I don't even realize I'm eating something sweet until it's in my mouth. I was just snacking, you know? and suddenly, BAM! There's some chocolate, or a cookie, or cake, or whatever. It gets worse. I can eat that sweet thing, and satisfy my craving, but…
