[quote=Anonymous]I think she just has an incredible sweet tooth. That was me as a child as well. Sugar has always had a hold over me. I just love it. No disordered eating, just would sell my soul for candy. So many people find things too sweet or find something to rich or filling... I on the other hand could eat endless amounts of sugary treats and enjoy every mouthful.

I lived in a home pretty similar to OP - generally healthy but my mom baked and we had treats. I would still eat as much as I would whenever I could.

I am now in my 40s and still have the same addiction. Obviously I learned to control it and now I eat almost no sugar but it still takes daily self control. My mouth waters when I walk passed baked goods and I can think about things like butter tarts for hours. I have to stay away from candy completely. If I eat one mint, I will eat 100.

It is just my genetics. I have been like this since I was very young. Salty carbs have never held much attraction for me...it is all baked treats and candy and anything that is pure sugar.[/quote]
