Hey my fellow forum peeps!

Just a question....
Is anyone else here addicted to candy too???

Do you think it is a common theme with people who have ADD??


Oh and by the way Happy Candy Day on October 31st!:D

I am!
LOVE IT!!!
SUGAR!!!
CHOCOLATE...GUM....CANDY COATED...HARD CANDY...CHEWY CANDY...CANDY CORN..PEEPS..PEZ...
DID I MENTION....I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

caramel and milk chocolate!

I am not into sweets all that much, mostly the savory end of the spectrum. For instance, beef jerky, pistachios, peanuts, cashews, broccolli, cauliflower, cellery, carrots, snap peapods or whatever they are called.

I think sweets is more of an elderly way to say candy ha, but I guess it relates well that I am not into sweet things.

Ooooooh yes indeedy! I haven't yet grown out of Cookie-Crisp cereal, and now that I'm an adult and get to buy my own food, I eat it nearly every day. Shouldn't I have matured enough to actually WANT to eat unsweetened porridge?? (I'm 26.)

I have to agree those other things are quite tasty too!!!!! :P

heheee unsweetened porridge :)

love that word, porridge..... but it doesn't make you want to eat too much though.

YUM! I would love to have some caramel and chocolate right now. :)

I love reese's cups and butter fingers and just about everything else you could name.

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!
Mature...never.....!
And I love Cookie crisp....and Cap-N-Crunch....crunch berries.....YUMALICIOUS!

Wow you guys! I've defiantly been addicted to candy, sour things and red vines (which I heard a rumor that the red dye is addicting), mostly b/c it keeps me awake while I study or drive long distance. I actually just had a crown put on b/c I've damaged my teeth eating hard candy, crazy eh? The things we do to stay awake!!

I think i lived on Diet coke and red vines for over a year, that's basically all i ate.

When I go days without it, usually camping or mt.biking or something I tend to not crave it. I'm trying to be better with my teeth (I have straight pretty white teeth but on the inside not so good).

I'm now trying to go further and try the feingold diet or something similar, just b/c i'm curious and dexedrine doesn't seem to make that much of a difference.

I'm scared thou, silly I think but I am. I guess resisting any urges right now seems like a huge endeavor, however, I gave up diet coke 2 days ago b/c it has citric acid in it (which i hear decreases the effectiveness of the dex). I had a difficult time yesterday but today I'm fine.

Thou when I study at home I find it way harder to resist! Anyone else contemplating the feingold diet or something similar and want to be my buddy to try it out? I'm thinking I'll give it a good month to see if it makes a difference. Anyone????

I am so addicted to the sour candies too... that is probably the source of all of the cavities I have had ... the sour patch kids are my favorite sour candy, but I find that after I eat too many my tongue peels.... yes I know I am weird! I am guessing if it does this to my tongue, it is doing the same to my teeth somewhat.

I'm absolutely addicted to milk chocolate! I think I've gotten to the point where I get really frustrated if I go through a day without any. Hah.

must have lollypops at all times. more specifically:

-caramel apple pops and laura secord suckers (butterscotch, orange and purple and red)
-and i love chocolate
-and chips!

Oh yes... I'm a sugar freak. I try not to eat a lot of it anymore.
I love cherry Jolly Ranchers, sour jelly beans (or pretty much anything sour), and plenty other stuff I can't think of.
I'm not big on chocolate but I do crave it occasionally and love it with peanut butter.

After reading here I had to go eat some dark chocolate covered raisins and a chocolate, chocolate chip cookie. Mmmm...

I'd kill for a Reese's now. Lol.

I eat way too much dessert and I knick a Snickers or Peanut M-n-M's whenever I can get it past the wild things. For them I keep sugarless gum and Canada mints in the house for after-meal treats. But I make brownies, cookies, muffins and instant breads as often as possible.

When there isn't any dessert in the house I grab for cereal.

I made myself sick on candy this past Sunday. I don't know what I was thinking. I wasn't, simple as that.

Imagine what it does to your stomach lining....small intestine...and so on...
Did that discourage you from enjoying those yummy treats?
Ha....you know it didn't....

No I still eat them quite often, but I try to not eat the whole bag at a time like I used to!!!! The bags I bought really weren't that big though...

These days, I have to cut back on candy though, not because I want to but because everything is so expensive I can't afford to buy it!!!!

I love cherry Jolly Ranchers

OH MY GOD! Jolly Ranchers still exist?! They were my favourite sweets when I was a kid, and then they just disappeared!

jolly ranchers! - and remember pop rocks? - funny I still have any teeth left at all!

How ironic. . .I just cracked open a bag of strawberry-cheesecake flavored Jelly Belly jellybeans. . .and now I see a topic about candy addiction.

:::sigh:::
