Hi, mosaic. I know you wrote this a while ago now, but I'm just seeing it and had to comment. I'm not a sugar lover either, but the way you said this about "it compels me" is so, so true for me too. I'll take a bite of something and my first thought will be, "Ugh, this is so sweet," but yet I keep eating it anyway -- and by the third bite it tastes just fine.

And I've thought, too, that I'd pass the cookie test (though they'd stay on my mind!) -- but if that was pasta salad ... no way could I resist it, hungry or not! Nor garlic bread -- or any kind of bread with a nice crock of butter sitting next to it!

(And I know just what you mean about weight watchers, too!)
