If so, (I mean not just some cup cake but actual problem like spending over 15 dollars - 30 dollars a day on it) what does it do to you?

I like to eat right out of the sugar bag, out sugar on my cereal until I can't see the cereal, you know those powdered ice tea tubes that you make ice tea with? I just eat out of the tub with a spoon and drink water afterward.

Diabetes I know I know.. But..

It doesn't affect me in any way. I just like it and I have never really went more than three days without eating some form of concentrated sugar. I hate salt..

I don't know if it's OCD or what.. It's also something to put my mind off of contantly worrying about things all the time (minimizes it). If there's compulsory items at the check out, I take advantage by grabbing enough to fill a grocery bag. (thing should be normal though because after all, they are compulsory items).

My BMI says that I'm a little underweight as well so it's not like I'm absorbing it. If I ever self harmed, I would probably drink my blood. (hahaha but not really..)

Edit: anyone who's wondering about my therapy ("this nut is gonna die or something?"), it was actually on Tuesday so i got all nervous and panicky for nothing and maybe spent some money to make myself feel better.. (which I NEVER used to do. I always have hoarded my money. Not its an average of ten dollars a day wasted..)

Hmm, you mostly sound like me, I eat a ton of candy and chocolate, and I have been a little underweight, too. But the sugar consumption started way before that. It doesn't affect me at all either. I don't feel sugar highs or lows...I just know I have a crappy diet but am too messed up to care right now. I assume a multivitamin would be helpful for both of us.

Yeah.. Just being mentally screwed, having my stomach empty and not caring for three years.. (I wouldn't classify it as anorexia if I don't care about my weight, but just not caring about anything in general)..

Metabolism? Maybe your inner calorie counter is tilted to your advantage. It sounds like the body's own insulin is working hard and your body is responding to the insulin quite well.

Until my pancreas commits suicide because it can't handle it anymore.. (type one diabetes I think)

Or my cells get anorexia with the attitude of ("k I'm done. I'm taking anymore sugar ever again) (type 2 diabetes I think)..

I just looked it up, and I think it's Type 2 you are to be more concerned about, but SO many factors go in to developing the disease...obesity (and you said you are underweight), genetics, etc.

If you ARE to be concerned, and you do care enough to mention them, so you must be...you could perhaps see a GP and get a blood test. You do want to make sure you aren't lacking Vitamin D or something else throwing your system out of whack. (I was deficient in Vit D and had to get a script for Vit D pills.)

Self-soothing?

Sweet is what infants prefer.

I'm a sugar addict, obese and I'm making a chocolate run to Godiva today (unless my mom goes to the hospital, since her leg and hip are in a lot of pain and she said she might go). I'll spend at least $60 (except I'll get $10 for free because it's my birthday this Monday, plus by spending over $30, I'll also get a free Godiva umbrella!), picking out the chocolates I want and making my own ballotin.

I am sooo jealous... i only have to pass a shop selling sugar or candies and I put on weight!!!!

[AquariusRider]

I have my chocolate and sugar addiction myself, kinda worried about that diabetes (speeled rong).

You may have some kind of OCD going for you, but only a doctor can give your that diagnosis.

No.... but have to carry a couple of sugar cubes/candy in my purse at all times :[
