Hello! I am a person who love desserts or sweet foods so much, I love cakes, chocolates, ice creams pastries and all sorts of sweet stuffs. Most of the times, i remind myself not to eat too much of those because of health concerns but if i have a choice, i wish eating too much sweets will never cause any bad effects towards my health so i could eat sweets without limits. Among my all time favorites are Crepe Samurai (crepe mixed with cream, milk and mangoes) from intercontinental hotel, butterscotch, from my favorite pastry shop and pastel from camiguin, now available in one of the mall here in manila. Ive got a taste of heaven when im eating them...
How about you my dear myLotters? do you love sweets as well? Whats your favorite desserts or sweets? Love to hear something from you!

OMG!!! I love sweet stuff! My favorite thing right now is gummy worms. I don't know why but I love them. When I was pregnant with my daughter I had to have a Brownie Sundae from Bruster's every day. I am just now starting to lose all the weight from stuffing my face while I was pregnant. However, due to my likings for sweets, I haven't lost as much as I probably could have. PMS puts all desserts in danger. Chocolate cake, ice cream, mocha chip frappes, etc. If I have PMS and I don't have any chocolate, everyone better leave me alone because somebody is going to get hurt! Hmm, I think I need some gummy worms...

LOL! really? my daughter love them also, unfortunately i am afraid with worms ever since. Even though that i love gardening, my mind was always bothered by the thought that i will see worms and when it finally happened i will definitely run and shout for as loud as i could. I associated gummy worms with the one im afraid to that's why i cannot enjoy eating it, but my daughter loves it so much.
Im so amazed with what your PMS had caused your appetite for sweets, LOL! enjoy and have fun with your baby and our favorite sweets, but don't hurt any one okay? (just kidding) thanks and take care!

Thank you so much for for the good response and the useful info about how bad chocolates was to all our beloved dogs, Hatley. Im so glad that you still allowed yourself to indulge with sweets, even though you are diabetic, but i guess you have it all in moderate amount only. Don't you worry, even though that i am not diabetic i take those sweets in moderate amount only, as well.
Yes i do love chocolates too, very much, especially those that contains nuts, also white chocolate. We do have so many brands of imported chocolates here in the Philippines that's why choice are almost endless. Have a nice day ahead and keep on smiling!

I don't like it too much because my teeth feel achy when i eat something sweet or acid, so i just eat something salty like potatoes crisp or french fries. but actually i miss to eat something sweet, it reminds me to my childhood memories.

You're missing too much ifa! LOL, just joking... i understand the feeling when your teeth was achy because when i was a kid My teeth got ruined so fast because of too much candies, im just so glad that i have a wonderful sets of teeth now that's why i regularly visit my dentist because i don't want to loose them and wear an artificial one... I also love eating french fries just like you. If you're craving for sweets, try fruit shakes just to follow what your palate dictates you to eat. Thanks a lot and take care!

Yes, to an extent, I do have a sweet tooth. Much more so when I was younger, but to a certain extent I still have a sweet tooth today. These days, I try and find a balance in what I eat, eating less sweets but there are just times where I throw my hands in the air and say "well, I have to eat this, because it will annoy me if I don't and I have to satisfy this craving." So, I do and the world is a much happier place.
As for what I enjoy, chocolate is a good place to start. It might seem like a blanket statement, but chocolate is a good thing to calm the nerves when I am under a lot of stress. I also like Oatmeal cream pies back in the day. Not so much these days, but every now and then, it is something that I still indulge. Also cookies, can't go wrong with cookies and a bit of cake every now and then.

I am the same way. I have a HUGE sweet tooth lol. Cakes, cookies, brownies, candies, ice cream, whatever I love just about all of them. My favorite is icecream though. Love it Love it lol. Some days I feel like I can't get enough. But unfortunately I have to cut back on my sweets. I'm not a big person only about 135 lbs but I have a bad back and i'm suppose to lose a bit of weight. Which means cutting back on my sweets. I'm doing ok with it but I have to have something sweet everyday even if its just a little something. ;)

Hi shymurl! I am so glad knowing that we are having similarities when it comes to liking sweets that much. Yes, i think not just you but all of us who loves sugary foods should always warned ourselves not to eat too much of them because it will cause harm in our bodies. For most of us who are having sweet tooth, its kinda hard to eliminate them in our system just for thinking of disadvantage it could create in our health so let's just take sweets a little everyday. Thanks for hearing your thoughts and have a great day ahead!

I'm like sweets but not all the time. I like sweets with good presentation and decorations.

Yes indeed, just like what fine dining restaurants and hotels did when it comes to serving their desserts, they make it look even more attractive and tempting to the eyes of their clients. Well, for me, even if there's no grand presentations or decors desserts will always be a hit. Thanks chezkalangi11!

I have to confess. I am guilty of a sweet tooth. When I have a food craving, a sweet snack always makes it way in. Anything sweet and chocolate is a sure winner. Ice cream and pudding pies lead the way. Nothing says comfort like your favorite sweet reward.

I'm not fun of memorizing names. But because we are family of the fattest I love all kind of sweets. And my sister cooks her own sweets for our desserts.
Now I have back ache again because I'm over weight.
I hope I can reduce again.
I can't walk right now because of too much pain.
But I will not deny my self of eating.
I will just add exercise in my routine.

Hello Bulastika! Im so sorry hearing that from you, i think you have the will to lose your weight it's just that you cannot walk right now because of the pain you're experiencing. As much as i know that its hard to say "NO" to all sorts of sweets, just limit your intake for the meantime, and focus yourself to shed off some extra pounds. I know you can do this, hope you get well soon and its so nice hearing something from you. Good luck and God bless!

I love chocolates especially when I was a child as a matter of fact I've already undergone tooth extraction four times. LOL
That's the sign of a true sweet tooth!!

Ha ha ha! does it happened to you really? i hope its not your permanent teeth that was extracted to you. That's a major consideration as well among us who loves sweets so much, the way we should take good care of our teeth properly because we are much prone to tooth decay because of the sugar content of those sweets.
I do hope that you will enjoy eating sweets still but please take care of your teeth okay? Nice to hear from you louierrific!

Me too but not so often because diabetics are common in my family and relatives. I like ube jam, leche flan, rocky road ice cream and devil foods cake. I just take it once in while, thinking I might be a diabetic already. LOL!

Well its good to know that you know your limits, yes we cannot over indulge into sweet food thinking that it will affect our health. After all "we should eat less to eat more." Being a less eater will ensure that we will live longer and thus we can eat more of our favorites. Nice to hear from you, have a nice day ahead!

Weee. I love sweet stuff too! I love eating icecream, especially now in the hot, hot weather. My favorite chocolates are white chocolates. I remember when my mom returned from overseas, or was that my dad, anyway, one of them brought home three boxes of small white toblerone. I went and owned one box. Trying hard not to share. lol. I saw one mylotter that loves gummy worms. I love any gummy candy. One time, i had one pack of those cheap, sugared, tangy gummy worms. I was sharing this time. Anyway, one of my co-teachers noted that I ate the freaking worms non-stop, like they were chips. Haha. I think I got a toothache after that. lol.

LOL! you are a very smart kid indeed! imagine you didn't share your toblerone to anyone! kidding aside, we are on the same boat really. I cannot blame you for eating those sweets as if they were chips. Sweets are just so irresistable for us who are having a sweet tooth. Good luck and nice to hear something from you!
