    carrots dipped in peanut butter is a fave for me! try sugar free jello cups w/ light cool whip. someone mentioned frozen grapes - delish! yogurt. plain almonds shaken in a little brown sugar/cinnamon. just a few ideas :)

    carrots and peanut butter?!?! I would never think to put those two together! lol! but I love carrots...and I love peanut butter....so hey why not!

    Yeh we have a Boots near where I work so I'll give the nougat bars a try :)

    dark chocolate covered almonds or maybe to ease yourself into liking fruit try a Gala apple (they sweet) and some peanut butter.......make it a habit to add one new fruit or veggie a week, its all in your mind that you dont like them :wink:

    I love veggies, will eat them all....just never taken to fruit!

    I'd love to like it though, and have tried in the past....it's a skin/seeds/juice thing....just don't like the texture of most fruits! maybe if I disguised them in something lol x

    I have been doing the sugar free jello cups with light whip cream that I keep in the freezer! Its pretty good and helps me out. I also bought the Carb Smart Breyers vanilla ice cream. 1/2 cup 90 cal and I put it on a small come that is only 20 cal. That really helps me out a lot. I have heard the sugar free jello pudding mousse temptations is really good..have not tried that yet.

    It's all about being prepared. If can take the time in the morning and prepare some snacks for the day, I think it will help curb your urge for the other (junk food) more accessible snacks. In fact, if you plan ahead with some healthy alternatives your mind will be looking forward to those snacks instead of vending machine food. As far as specific items knowing you hate fruit...that is a tough one. Perhaps, peanut butter, nuts, popcorn, jerky, veggie sticks. Lastly, chocolate! There is no sense in fighting of the urge completely, why not pack 1-2 little Hershey's Kisses, that may be just enough to keep you from jumping entirely of the wagon having a sugar filled binge session.

    one of my FAVES!! >>

    A deep chocolate vitatop muffin with a little light cool whip and a few sliced strawberries on top - around 150 calories.
    the vitatops are good with a little peanut butter on them, too, if you don't want the fruit. :)

    These are somethings I've tried since mfp that I was surprised at how good they were.
    If you want something sweet- Yoplait Delights Parfait- Lemon Torte 100 calories.
    There is a chocolate raspberry one that DH likes. I haven't had one yet, I'll probably try one today!

    Blue bunny sweet freedom fudge bars. 35 calories each

    Kellogs Special K fruit crisps Blueberry. Wow- I just had one and they are really good! They are by the granola bars. 2 crisps have 100 calories. They have an outside that reminds me kind of like a poptart in a way, but they are much better! I don't know if you would like the blueberry inside since you don't like fruit, but it reminds me of a blueberry pie or something. I was impressed.

    Another thing I love to do is take yogurt and add a sliced banana. Yum!

    I love all kinds of fruit, so that's what I usually have when I want something sweet though.

    I know you said you don't like fruit but you can kind of eat apples, well sweets are my crack, call it an addiction, but I have found two types of apples that are so sweet they are literally like candy, fuji apples and pink lady apples, both are soooo very good, so before you write fruit off completely, please try these, you may actually like them:)
