    Absolutely! I had licorice candy and tootsie rolls last night and i plan on doing it again tonight. It would have been chocolate mousse but i ran out of some of the ingredients.

    In the mornings I plan out what i want to eat for the day and sometimes do it for a few days in advance so that everyone in the family gets at least one meal that they want within the week. This makes it easier for me to figure out different "treats" that i want.

    "Snack" time is a regular part of the day in my house. My daughter is learning moderation. Every night we have some sort of treat that she can look forward to throughout the day and she does less grazing. The best part is that she started asking for a variety of things like raw veggies and fruits instead of ice cream and candy. It works for me too.

    Yes. And I don't think of it as allowing myself a treat, but rather just. Having a treat.

    I've never been a chocolate or sweets person in general, but yup every day I have stuff I like and want. Like dark beer.

    If I really want to eat something, I eat it. I just find a way to make it "fit" into my day...no deprivation.

    Yummmm, i don't really crave beer in the winter but when summer comes i will gladly trade all of the candy, chocolate and sweets for a nice cold Guinness and a relaxing porch swing in the evening.

    If I have enough calories, I allow myself a piece or two of dark chocolate mints (one serving is 5 pieces, so I get 1-3 depending on surplus calories), and I've been steadily losing weight since joining 15 days ago!

    I enjoy pretty much everything in moderation.

    This. If you need something to "get through" eating low carb, why are you forcing yourself to eat low carb?

    These days my daily treat is pecans. (I'm not a big chocolate fan.) When my pecans are gone I will go back to pistachios. Once in a while I will have a frozen snickers bar because I get them free with a fill-up of gasoline.

    I have treats every single night as long as I can fit it in my calories it's usually between 100-150 calories (so like wine, popcorn, ice cream).

    I structure a treat in at the end of my day as long as I got my exercise in and I have the calories to spare. Right now it is Weight Watchers Dark Chocolate Raspberry ice cream bar. It's only 90 calories and delicious. It's my reward for being good at the end of the day.

    As my Mom used to say 'all things in moderation'. I think if you're in this for the long haul - you need to learn how to fit treats in.

    One singular piece of chocolate?!?! Why do you need to limit yourself that much?
    I eat "junk" food every day and I'm only on 1,400 calories! I make sure I save calories for the end of the day where I tend to binge, but never over my cals.
