Sugar Free Valentine’s Day
Unsweetened Carob Chip Cookies: Somebody loves me, yes they do!
Gwenn made some sugar free cookies for me today and I just had to share them with you. This is not to brag or anything (nah nah) but instead to show that once you’re off sugary junk—provided you have sweet people in your life—the folks around you will adjust and accept your “strange” behavior. In fact, you might even rub off on them (more on that below).
That’s not to say that a portion of this batch of cookies didn’t have chocolate chips, because they did. However, there are no added sweeteners in the batter for both the unsweetened carob version and the chocolate chip version. Bananas sweeten the batter. I only eat the unsweetened carob chip cookies, which taste very good when you’re off sweets.
As a result of my unsweetness, I can easily count 5-8 friends and family members who have definitely have cut back on their sugar intake. I can list an additional 5-8 folks who at least claim to be avoiding sweets. Everyone knows sugar is bad for them and yet “everyone is doing it,” which makes it that much harder to stop.
Imagine if you cut back on sweets and ten people around you get inspired to do so as well. Now that would be sharing the love!

Like Playing it Forward, which you do.
Sugar is my nemesis; so be it, amen, but no Poor Me, because I’m loved by a few wonderful people—much sweeter.

About Me
I realized I had a sugar problem back in 2003 after a weekend-long binge on raw chocolate chip cookie dough and chocolate covered pretzels. As a result, I began trying to quit sugar but kept failing. Finally, I figured out a way to stay off sweet junk food for good.
Quit Sugar?
Don’t quit sugar. Stop Being Sweet instead! Questions? Please ask!
