I can’t shake the sweet tooth for the life of me. I have a highly addictive personality and even though I fought many demons this is one I can’t shake. Help!!!!

    What types of sweets are your weakness? Soda, candy, desserts like cake and ice cream, booze?

    If candy and desserts, have you tried only having one serving once a week and not having them in your house? I find that having a piece of fruit instead of dessert is satisfying (and provides nutrients and fiber).

    Some people here have had success switching from candy/desserts to a *single* piece of really, really good dark chocolate.

    If your weakness is sugary drinks, have you tried boosting your unsweetened flavored water, tea, or coffee consumption instead?

    As for booze, I quit many years ago and that took a bit of effort. But was very well worth the effort.

    Good luck to you! You've already proven to yourself that you can do it!

    It does take time. Eventually you're desires and needs will change as you develop new habits. I don't deny myself but I don't keep treats at home. If I want ice cream, I will need to leave the house to go get it. I do allow myself one treat per month (before the diet it was one a grocery trip) and that is a bag of white cheddar cheetoes. But if really wanted it between them... i would have to go to the store. If I want it that bad then it is better to go get it than agonize over it.

    feel free to join my friend group. I'll be happy to offer moral support
