Anyone have ideas about not craving or eating junk? I don't buy junk, don't get me wrong, but boy can I bake it! Like that's all I want. If I had a choice between steak and a piece of cake for dinner, I'd take the cake! ;) Even just eating chocolate chips! Sweets are my weakness! I try so hard, and even when I go with out sugar I loose quite a bit of weight REAL quick, but even that doesn't keep me motivated to stay away:( I'm also a good cook, and make healthy dinners for my family, but I'd skip in order to have the sweets:(
Please some one, help me. I'm trying real hard not to fall completely off the wagon, but I'm draggin the road:(

    I've heard fruit sugars can't stop you from craving sweets

    I'd say dont completely give it up but just temper yourself to eat smaller portions. That's what I'm doing and it's working. I crave sweets all the time too. So, I'd say just have a little at a time.

    I agree, can you try to have some portion control instead of completely cutting it out? If you bake make muffins and put them in the frig. Unthaw them one at a time and allow yourself just one.

    I do find the healthier I eat (meaning the more fresh fruits and veggies) the less I have cravings for sweet but maybe that is just my anecdotal story, not sure if it would work for you or not.
