    Several things for me that change daily (some not very good according to the OP): Healthy Choice frozen yogurt bars (100 cal), mini-sized Kit Kats and Butterfingers for my chocolat fix (45-70 cal each), peanut butter w/whole wheat Ritz, oranges, bananas, Activia, and a few Starlight mints/Werther's coffee hard candies (15-20 cal) to help curb my hunger cravings.

    i don't have much of a sweet tooth... but when I get the craving, I have a piece (or 3) of orbitz sweet mint gum... It makes me happy.

    I love love the skinny cow line and schwan's has some lite ice cream that is good. My goal is to always stay within the green on myfitnesspal calorie count. If I get in the red (pizza will do that) I walk that much longer and harder. Have to say it works to write it all down. :wink:

    I have lost 38 pounds since may on mfp. I decided that if I want to eat something sweet I just eat it, maybe a smaller portion, but I eat what I want. My thinking is that as soon as I say I can't have something I want it even more and that makes me miserable. Also if I try to eat something "healthier" in place of what I really want eventually I end up eating both, which is not good. So if I want a snickers bar I have a regular sized not a king sized or if I want ice cream, I have ice cream, because nothing else is going to satisfy my urges or cravings.

    I love light yogurt or applesauce (Mott's no sugar added varieties are amazing)

    I budget my calories to allow a small treat each day.

    Here they are: a couple of Hershey's kisses, a Dove dark chocolate square, (or comparable amount from another brand), a Fruit Newton Thin (the blueberry ones taste like a blueberry muffin).

    These all come in at around 50 calories.

    I LOVE the Blueberry Fruit Newton Thins also!. I've also started a regimin that if I exercise I can have a small square of dark chocolate. It motivates me. :)

    Greek yogurt with fresh raspberries mixed in. Noms.

    I love milk chocolate, but recently I have been trying to dark chocolates and have found that I like the Godiva, Lindt's, and Ghiradelli's with the flavors in them. I usually limit myself to one square per serving so that the bar lasts longer and try not to eat more than two squares a day if I can help it. Since I am Type 2 Diabetic I have to be careful with my sugars, but my body does have a hard time processing the sugar alcohols as well so I tend to look for foods with natural sugars as well. I buy jams made with all fruit instead of ones that claim to be sugar-free, yes they cost more, but they tast better and tend to last me longer because of the cost too. lol
