craving thoughs sweets!

Have you ever tried dates? They're these little semi-dried stone fruits that are about the size of prunes. Some have pits, some you can buy pre-pitted. They're so delicious! They honestly taste like candy, and 2-3 is enough to suit just about any craving for sweets that I ever have, since they almost approach cloyingly sweet. 2-3 is generally about 120-140 calories and 2-3 grams of fiber, so it's a good choice as far as sweet snacks go.

Also, if may seem a bit unconventional to have for a snack, but you could try those pre-sweetened packets of instant oatmeal. They come in lots of dessert-like flavors these days and generally run 160-250 calories, depending on what kind you buy. Plus, since they're oats, they really fill you up! I had a PB & J flavored oatmeal last night, and it was really good!

fiber one bars are pretty good, I also cut a couple dates in half and put a little bit of maple almond butter on it they are very rich and filling and sweet, sometimes I have a cup of tea with something and eat it slow. A piece of ezekiel bread toast with a thin smear of jelly. Some fruit.
You have to figure out what works for you. Some people need to have a little of what they're craving and get it over with. Some times you will try to have something else healthier and never be satisfied and should of just had a small portion of what you really were craving. Try to eat less and less though and the cravings will be less.
I find there are a few of the things that I love, that if I do have some, even a little, it makes me want more and more and can get me eating way more. Unfortunately for me this is chocolate. You can try to log everything, make notes of what and when you're craving and what you tried, and pay attention to your results. Sometimes you just need to go for a walk, do something busy with your hands. Sometimes still I want something and can honestly tell myself I am truely not hungry, why do I want that. (still no answer) ha ha. It gets easier.
