Sweet Treats

I indulge, but keep myself in check by getting single servings of sweets when I'm out and about. A Starbucks petite treat (under 200 calories), light frappuccino, or kid size sundae can be worked into my day with just a little effort. It keeps me from having stuff in the fridge or pantry that I keep going back to eat.

Blue Bunny has a sugar free, fat free, brownie sundae ice cream that is only 90 calories a serving. Why is he bringing ice cream into the house while you are trying to lose weight? Doesn’t he want to support you? He can stop on the way home from work for his fix.

I freeze bananas and eat them. I know it sounds funny, but it seems more like a dessert once they're frozen.

That sounds good.., I have to try that one.Thanks!

I am a HUGE SWEET eater!! I found Artic Zero Ice cream....it is 150 cal for a whole pint!! I also have found Walden Farms 0 calorie Carmel and chocolate syrup....so I put it on the 150 cal icecream with a banana......a 250 calorie banana split!! YUMMMMM!!!

I also will add sugar free jello with yogurt and free cool whip...that is a nice sweet treat. Skinny cow ice cream is also good.....Go to the grocery store and just scan through all of the ice cream. It might take time at first, but will be worth it if you can find something that is tasty and low cal.

Good luck!! GIrl, I have lost 100 lbs and have kept it off for 3 yrs. It isn't always easy, but I am a big fan of sugar free syrup, sugar free ice cream, splenda....anything that can help my sweet tooth helps me stay on track!

what she said :bigsmile:

if you have some time, go burn some calories to make the gap smaller (if you like)

I'm about to go do this myself right now, heading tothe gym to burn 300 calories so I can have a late night treat :drinker:

I like to indulge on mostly fresh fruits now. I can eat about two pounds of strawberries for the same calories as a handful of chocolate covered almonds. How fair is that right.

Nice, indulge away with that!

I have three "healthy" go-to sweets:

1. Arctic Zero Ice Cream (Maple Vanilla or Strawberry) 150 cals for whole pint
2. Quakers Lightly Salted Rice Cake / 0.5 TBSP Reduced Fat Peanut Butter / 2 TBSP Jet Puffed Marshmellow Creme
3. Fat Free Cream Cheese / 1 TBSP Splenda / 3-4 drops of vanilla extract (tastes like Cheesecake!!)

I do this, too! I usually add some cinnamon to them.

Trader Joe's has excellent little ice cream treats - bon bons and mini ice cream sandwiches. They're heavily processed, but I eat one every other day or so. 60 calories of deliciousness

As a sugar junkie, there is a lot of great advice on here.

Fat free low fat snacks are always a choice. But be careful as they can make you want more since you believe ita healthier. And the added chemicals to make up for removing some of the fat are also not great.

If you crave something particularly sweet, just eat it, but be mindful of the amount. And make sure it is not an everyday thing.

I also keep a stock of jello and cool whip handy as a low calorie sweet treat to kill cravings.

Just keeping a good attitude, even with minor setbacks though, is the best thing you can do.

Try throwing them in your food processor! It comes out like frozen yogurt. I like to add some peanut butter. Best part is I can eat it for breakfast and feel like I'm eating ice cream!
