Hey Isabelle - I keep a jar of those red/white peppermint hard candies around. After dinner if I grab one of those to suck on...it "most of the time" curbs my after dinner sweet craving. I swear each one of my teeth are "sweet teeth". hahah!0

something sweet after dinner. But I try to be good!0

I have a serious sweet tooth. I usually try to distract myself, drink water and if I have to give in I will ration some sweets to myself by sharing with a friend so I can't eat it all.

Chocolate is definitely my downfall. I will eat it and count the calories but unfortunately there are times I lose all control (hence why I am here)0

Mine is BOOZE!!! I love wine and irish whiskey!!! Not only does it have calories, but it makes it very sucky the next day to work out! I'll have a few glasses of wine during the week (8 ounces, and I measure it) but the weekends are hard!
I just have to remind myself I'm making a change for the better 0 -
After dinner if I'm craving desert, I always have sugar free pudding on hand.. All kinds of flavors, so I don't get stuck in a rut. Sugar free Pudding made with skim milk is a tasty treat w/out all the cals!0

Oooo! Booze is a good one.. I love wine and have recently started diggin on champagne too.. I've been trying to steer clear of those aisles at the grocery store, but if I'm hanging out with my twin sis... it ain't gonna happen.. we're drinking period. lol0 -
My biggest problem is that when I do get the craving for something sweet (which only happens maybe once a week, thankfully), I have to have something salty to follow it. Then I want something sweet again. And another salty after that. And it just keeps cycling like that til I'm stuffed full of total crap. Haha.0

My weakness is cream-filled chocolate covered donuts. I just don't buy them. If they are in my house...it's only a matter of time!!:huh:
I also have a MAJOR sweet tooth. I have found that I am most successul losing weight if I allow myself those sweets, just in moderation. If I crave chocolate, I drink hot chocolate (swiss miss, diet 25 calories), for example. I eat a piece of candy or maybe a cookie, just REAL small amounts.
Good luck!

Wonder if kettle corn would do the trick....there's an Orville Redinbackers (sp?) 100 calorie pack.0 -
I love heavy foods! Lasagna with garlic bread is a biggie! And fast food...ugh! I am not huge fan of salty foods and can usually pass on the sugary stuff too...but when it does hit I have sugar free jello pudding snack or a banana split minus the ice cream. I just slice up a banana (and sometimes strawberries) drizzle with a little hersey's syrup, light wipped cream and a sprinkle of pecans...it is a tasty "treat" while getting in some fruit. :happy:0

Yes and booze I love to have a glass or two of wine every few nights BUT I also just learned that wine gives women "wine thighs"...kinda like men and their "beer guts"...THAT would explain why my thighs started to explode! LOL0 -
Dessert like chocolate and ice cream, but even worse is bread. Good fresh bread, like french baguette, or even 7 grain. Any fresh bread and I looove potatoes.
I've noticed that once I go without sugars ( other than the sugars in fruit and vegies) for a while, i don't crave them as much, and sometimes not at all. Just the first 5 days are really hard.
Try not having anything sweet after dinner for a week and see how it feels after that. It's hard, because the craving can be pretty strong, but I am really confident that after 5 days you will be amazed how much better it is.0 -
ICE CREAM...chocolate chip mint. My secret is that I just keep it out of the house. If I buy a 1/2 a gallon of ice cream I will eat the whole thing in 2 days. Instead I will go to an ice cream place and buy a scoop. That's right a scoop. With the price of ice cream per scoop & can get a 1/2 a gallon in the supermarket. Since I'd rather spend my money on shoes one scoop a couple of times a year is good.0

EVERYTHING....I just love food. I love desserts, chocolate, chips, cheese. All the wrong stuff!0
-
Even after losing 80 pounds, pizza and sweets of any kind are STILL my problem. I wonder if I will ever overcome them, but until then, I have what I want in very small amounts.0

Velveeta shells and cheese hands down. Followed by bud light (very close second :laugh: )0
-
Mine is good beers. I have switched to vodka (1 shot = 56 kcal) and mineral water (topo chico) which is 56 calories. A lot better than my beers which run 150 kcal plus.0

Ice Cream. Moose Tracks, specifically.0
