i want this more than anything

Exercise! I go to the gym and do cardio so that I can eat cheese and drink wine. Look for low-calorie alternatives. Like, if you want ice cream, get a Skinny Cow bar. They're really tasty and satisfying, and they're usually around 100 calories. Try tricking your sweet tooth. Buy plain, non-fat yogurt, and then put a tablesppon of honey in it and some fruit. You'll get your sweet and get things that are good for you as well.

Can you open your food diary?

Maybe adding some fruit or other natural sugars will help quell your sweet tooth...?

Let's be honest here. Everyone in the world (within reason) wants to be fit/in shape. That's the easy part. The hard part is wanting it enough that you actually do it and stick to it. It doesn't sound like you're there yet. Maybe it just hasn't clicked for you yet? Try baby steps. Reduce your food intake by 100 calories a week, or even a month, until you get to the level you want.

Stop buying it in the grocery store, don't even go down the candy isle.. avoid whatever you keep sliding back on when you go shopping.. you can't eat it if its not there for you to eat.

Don't eat it. When you grab it out of the cupboard take 2sec to ask yourself - "Should I?" and if you exercised that day or are low on calories ....sure have a cookie/brownie/ice cream. But if you *REALLY* want it - back away from the brownie!! One or two months without a brownie will not kill you and soon you'll realize you don't have a big of sweet tooth as you once thought.

Find other ways to cure sweet tooth: Toast with Peanut Butter and Honey, Fruit, Gum, Frozen Yogurt, etc. You can cure sweet tooth w/out derailing your success!!!

A sweet tooth is a common problem, and there are tons of remedies. Although, it's going to be tough when you have roommates who keep such snacks in your apartment, but you can still do it.

1. Just stop snacking on all refined & processed carbs awhile. You don't have to permanently cut them out, but it will help get rid of your sweet tooth. No more snacking on brownies, cereal, pretzels, chips, cookies, etc. Minimize bread, white rice, and pasta unless you're working out that day. After you've avoided processed carbs for about 6 weeks, your sweet tooth and carb cravings should be less of a problem.

2. Keep fruit around the house so you can eat that instead of brownies when you get cravigns.

3. Tea and coffee are great for managing cravings and curbing appetites

4. Avoid diet drinks and artificial sweeteners like the plague if you have a sweet tooth. The super sweet artificial sweeteners may just reinforce your sweet tooth and worsen your cravings.

5. Work out enough so that you can eat cheat meals but still lose weight!

Sweets has always been one of my weaknesses. And even most recently, hubby has bought me Skinny Cow treats. However, i have been "weaning" myself off of them. Instead of a Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich, i've been keeping Yoplait Boston Cream Pie on hand. The last package of Skinny Cows will be gone soon...maybe. And i'm asking him not to get me anymore.
