Could have been because they are sugar free. Some of the artificial sugars have a laxative effect on some folks. Thankfully, I've never had that problem.

I found that simple sugars - like fruit and fruit juices - helped ease the sugar craving, 2much

Ahhhh! A week or two ago I sat on the couch watching the brain destroyer (TV) and went through a half pound of chocolate truffles in about a half hour. Prior to that I would go through a container of chocolate covered pretzels, almonds, anything with chocolate for almost a month. It hit me after about thirty days. It's weird. I would have to drive to the store to get chocolate - like the cigarette people do - if I was out and jones'n for it.
Plus I have watched more TV in the past couple months than I have in the past couple years. Still adjusting to being "normal" I suppose. It's tough getting motivated to do something because everything involved having a beer.

Fixed above. "a beer" actually means beer period. The use of the word 'a' would imply one. For me 'a' beer meant 'always in hand'.

Hi guys!
Whats haribos? I have been craving sweets too, I am eating ice cream like it is going out of style but I was a wine drinker so I get the sugar addiction. I was worried, I thought it was just me, I have tried to switch to fruit now, funny, grapes seem to do it (imagine that ?)

Hoo boy Forghetti, you just opened up a big can of worms for me! Yup yup yup, I can eat this because it's very good for me! Seriously though, I am trying so hard to stay away from the sweets. Until I found Ben and Jerry's new CORE this weekend. arggghhhh

I think you're probably getting the general idea now about craving for sugar 2b
