10. lol-fellow chocoholic huh?

Same here..but it is both coffee and chocolate for me. Lately I have found some vegan Indian sweets that are great. The lady who makes them has become a friend and she is concerned about these issues. Therefore, so it lies lightly on my conscience..It has helped me make the final step towards veganism.

I eat a fairly healthy and what I hope is a relatively ecologically responsible diet. But my sweet tooth is not dying any time soon.

I count my sugar grams daily and try to keep it to 25 g. Obviously most days it is well over that, but I might get there in a few months. I find that if I stick to my vegan sweet treats I can keep it to 25g. But sugar sneaks into my diet in other ways if I am not watchful.Mostly when I switch my usual cold black coffee for hot coffee..I find I can stand unsweetened, black coffee when it is cold but not hot. Modern life..shrug..I cut down where I can :-/.

I freely admit to being a chocoholic, a committed theobromian who hides it, eats it alone, and lies about the quantity.

I can quit any time. Sure I can. I, um, just don't want to right now.

Yeah, that's it.
