    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. :)

    Dark chocolate
    Greek yogurt with fresh raspberries mixed in. Noms.
    Fresh pineapple. I could probably chow down an entire pineapple every day....not that I do, of course. :tongue:

    For a hot drink, warmed unsweetened almond milk with a squirt of honey and lots of cinnamon. or a skimmed milk pudding cup.

    Wow, great post, thanks for the ideas
    I found once I was able to break a "savage" sugar addiction the weight loss became more appearent. I use Stevia as a sweetener these days

    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

    I tend to go for the handi-snacks vanilla pudding.

    I know, I know, sugar is evil. But I really like that they have 90 calories and they have their own little container so you can eat only a little bit and be done.

    I use cashews or flavored almonds. I also recently discovered "dairy-free" chocolate chips. They're expensive, but 1/8 cup of them satisfies my sweet tooth.

    might sound odd - but my homemade pickled beets - 20calories for a half cup - and satisfies the sweet and sour cravings (and ruins your taste buds for a little while afterwards so you actually don't want to eat anything else lol)

    luna bars, frozen yogurt, and sometimes I just can't say no to the occasional piece of chocolate

    I just have a cupcake or ice cream or something like that. Usually does the trick! If not, I have both!

    My favorite is Jet-puffed chocolate covered mini-marshmallows. Only 5 calories each. I usually eat between three and six depending on how many calories I have to spend. The perfect chocolate/sweet tooth cure for me. :D

    i eat ice cream or sweets every day. Usually the light ice cream. I just make sure its within my calories. Im working on this, but if I have to give up sweets I won't stick to it. Thats just me.

    The usuals:
    60 calorie sugar-free jello pudding. I rotate flavors! (once or twice a week)

    skinny cow strawberry shortcake ice cream sandwich (maybe once a week)

    The bf loves to go out for ice cream, so when we do I always get the no sugar added froyo in the kiddie size. I love it.

    The occasional treats:
    If I go to a wedding, I am having cake. I promise I will dance it off after!

    Donuts are my favorite thing ever. I allow myself to have one once a month. I never find myself absolutely needing it more than that....even though I used to get them 2-3 mornings every week! Crazy.

    I eat what I want. If it's ice cream. . .yup I'll have a SMALL dish of ice cream. If it's chocolate, I'll hit the dark chocolate. If it's a cookie, I'll do my best to only have one or two.

    I have a crazy sweet tooth, so I'm always wanting something sweet. If I try to substitute for something kinda sweet but healthy, I will eventually end up eating the thing I was wanting originally. Better to have 2 chocolate chip cookies (home made) and be done with it than eat a banana, maybe some yogurt and end up eating the cookies, too.

    One pot of Aero chocolate mouse! only 97 calories per pot and they are oh so rich and delicious. I was a bit nervous about buying 4 pots (they are sold in packs of 4) but to be honest, they are so chocolatey ive never wanted 2!

    ETA: When I'm off REFINED sugar.

    ETA: Ugh, I quoted instead of edited because all of these sweets have fried my brain.

    Homemade Fruit Crisps. (Peach, Apple, Blueberry)
    Heavy on the fruit, light on the topping.
    With REAL butter.

    Also dark chocolate squares and peanut butter on graham crackers hits the spot. :happy:

    To satisfy my sweet tooth this weekend, I made two vegan chocolate fudge pies. One for a family dinner and one for a cookout. Then I satisfied my sweet tooth with leftover chocolate chips and chopped walnuts :)

    Recently I bought the Juicy Fruit Dessert gum
    and I've found it helps when you just want a taste of
    something sweet. They taste quite a lot like actual desserts
    and sometimes they do the trick.

    My new thing is a PB&J. It's about 300 cals, but not all sweet and partially healthy. I use half a serving of peanut butter, and wheat bread that is only 80 cals per slice. It's a yummy snack for me and makes me happy.
