Dessert Free Week Anyone?

I eat sweets WAY too much. After Thanksgiving I have decided to start a dessert/treat free week. No more eating the small piece of chocolate in the conference room at work or having a cookie at the end of the day. NO sugary foods for 1 whole week. Not sure if I have even gone one day recently! Anyone else want to try for a dessert free week with me. I'll be trying it on my own here at my house, but would love some encouragement here! :smile: :smile:

    I only eat sweets on my "free day" once a week. When I first cut out the sugar, I had a headache for 3 days and felt terrible. Detox I guess. Crazy, right?

    I feel SO much better away from the sugar. I notice my moods are more even, and my energy level much more consistent throughout the day.

    This week I had a slice of Perkins French Silk Pie after Thanksgiving dinner. It was absolutely incredible. When I logged it I discovered it was 760 calories for 1 slice. WOW.

    So I'm with you... pretty much every week is a sweet-free week for me!

    i have a sweet everyday and just stay within my allowed calories. For example, have a small bit of chocolate mid day or a sugar free ice cream after dinner. I have lost weight consistantly too. I never look at it as a cheat or a treat. Its part of my normal everyday eating.

    Discipline and moderation are key in our success :)

    I like this idea! I eat way too many sweets, so this could be a way to reset my palate.
