Sucky Lollies

OK, now I am addicted to those swizzel lickable lollies.
I try to limit myself to one as a treat to myself after a long hard day at work, and after my tea of course. Trouble is, they are so tasty and I don't lick them, I suck them, and often too hard. So hard that my lips and tongue start to shrivel and often I get small ulcers.
They are also almost pure sugar, so no good for me at all, but boy do they taste good, and I often have 3 or 4 before I say to myself -"Stop, you're having a laugh mate! Keep on like this and both your teeth will drop out"
So I do stop, but it's a struggle.
Do you like sucky lollies, and can you limited yourself better than me?

I like chocolate too, but I have no trouble with that. Easter is coming up and I am eagerly awaiting the annual Tesco deal on the eggs. Nom nom nom

I must have only one extra super duper tasting lolly, so yes I can limit myself dear Orson.
Mind those teeth now.

So you can't suck for long? Me neither. I'm a sucker for sucky lollies, but I run out of suck after about 10 mins. It sucks, it really sucks.

I have resisted them for many years now. I found better things to xuck, less harmful to my teeth too.

@Orson_Kart Oh I didn't realise it was so obvious I must remember to have a banana away from the computer in future.

It seems that you have been having a lot of shriveling problems recently.

@Orson_Kart We could see if we might be able to find a solution to that problem of yours.

I love lollies but I am not addicted to it. I love chocolates the most. I don't think I am addicted to anything. I am a good girl.......

I think you are almost too good. If that's even possible? I mean everyone has at least one vice, don't they?

@Daljinder Maybe, but I for one am not complaining.
I too could be accused of same. I mean, here I am now and it's 5 o'clock in the morning. I should still be fast asleep,

I haven't had any junk food in 27 days now. I just realized that today 15 years ago my late husband and I started dating. Time flies. I try to avoid sugar now as I am having a lot of issues with it. I finally stopped craving it after 25 days. I am so happy the cravings are gone! I know the lollipops that are in the photo you shared. I do not care for them though. They are too sweet for me. My kids can't have them as I don't allow them to have red dye it effects their behavior terribly.

@Orson_Kart Unless they are organic the pink in them is probably dye they added. I prefer when they use beet juice to make things red or other natural things.

You do well to avoid them. They are pure sugar and not good for ones health. I am sure there is no artificial colours in the lollies, so it's not all bad. A bit like me really!

I eat far too many sweets so I would probably eat as many such lollies as you do

One suck and you will be hooked, I am. They are full of sugar, so avoid at all cost. On the plus side, they are cheap.

I am not certain we have those lollies here @Orson_Kart , but my addiction is chocolate, and toffees and caramel and fudge...and now I will have to go look for a snack, drat! And No, I don't limit myself to one of any of those. Dang my sweet tooth...we're both in sugary trouble, it seems

Yes, sugar is now deemed enemy number one and I am afraid I too am losing the battle. I've managed to abandon the sucky lollies but turned my attention to chocolate. I love it. They are now producing low sugar versions of my favourites, but it doesn't taste as nice. I don't stick to the recommended quantity per day either. I need more.

@Orson_Kart yes, low sugar is no fun . I am afraid it is full cream, full sugar or bust with me.

I don't eat them because I'm hypoglycemic and too much sugar isn't good for me. Be careful with those! lol

I thought thst meant low blood sugar? Surely one lolly to suck on would be ok?

Don't worry about your teeth, you only need gums to suck lollies.

Lollypops are not my favorites. maybe one a year for me is enough. Now, if we were talking chocolate, that would be a totally different story.

That isn't too nice for your well being, have you considered softer sweets? I don't have this problem because I prefer soft chewy candies.

I can't as I am addicted to them.
I don't have many vices, but this is one of them. I am doomed.
