Same for me, avoid0

I wish I knew! I'm the same way. It's easier for me to not have any at all than it is to have it in moderation! Sucks, cause sometimes I really, really want a taste....but it never ends up being enough.0

hahahaha sorry that was funny.. but I have to agree, it is addictive....0 -
avoid having a taste of it and maybe just reward yourself once a week with something sweet you really really really like..0

self control? I mean, I hear ya, I love sweets, but it's really about control.0

The only way is to avoid completely--even the pseudo sugar substitutes. I gave it up on 3/3/2012 and other than one or two sugar slip-ups have done well without it.0

Buy things that are fun-size or smaller-size, there should be a lot of those packs left since Halloween just ended. If it's too much of a temptation simply don't buy it anymore! It's not worth sabotaging your weight loss0

Eat a Tbls. of raw sugar. It's not that great!0

save it for just before bed that way you wont want to get out of bed to go eat more. works for me :-)0

I completely understand the statement. I try to leave cheap processed sweets alone entirely. If I don't eat them, they don't trigger. And dark chocolate is my friend.
If you don't have that reaction to sugar, I don't think you appreciate how strong the urge is.0 -
Its MUCH easier for me to resist the first bite than the second.0

No i have never tried crack, seemed like a good example though. :laugh: lol0 -
I have the same issue. Huge sweet tooth. I try to avoid sweets totally lately, but when I do have some, I'll preportion a small amount out, then WALK AWAY from the package of whatever it is. If it's in front of me, I'll eat it. A friend of mine replaces her sweet cravings with watermelon or grapes.0

I have to avoid it entirely, just too much temptation no matter how hard I try. :sad:0

Better yet, get a cube and smoke it0 -

OOOO, like this idea! Kinda like when your parents find you smoking and they make you sit down and smoke the whole pack and you end up puking.0 -
Our bodies are programmed to seek sugar. When we were still living under rocks we quickly discovered that sweet was one of the things that wouldn't poison us. It's a natural response.
These days it's harder to keep in check, however, with all the added extra junk food companies put into processed goodies. If you're hankerin' for something sweet, reach out for fruit or a stick of gum0 -
