    Eat small amounts. You can still enjoy them without pigging out on them.

    I guess what I'm saying is if you have your own little treats, it's easier to resist what everyone else is binging on. Make it a ritual - have your little treat with a nice cup of tea or coffee and eat it slowly.


    Great advice.

    Fill yourself up with other foods and just don't buy them lol?

    Sweets have been my constant downfall, but recently I have learned not to eliminate entirely but to limit! When I eliminate sweets completely I go crazy and last about 3 days! (It doesn't help that my husband is extremely thin and loves his cakes and cookies, and I can't just stop buying them for him because I can't eat them!) So what I have done is let my husband have all his own sweets, and I have mine... I have Special K Pastry Crisps (2 are 100 calories each), I love brown sugar and cinnamon and chocolate, I also have Great Value 100 calorie ice cream sandwiches in my freezer which I can have a few times a week, and they are delicious!! And FRUIT is the number one thing... for me banana's, because they are easy and sweet!
    This is the longest I have dieted in years, and it's because I'm cautious about what I eat, and don't over indulge. I do have points of weakness where I just want to grab a bag of Cheetos, but I back up, tell myself the craving will pass, and walk away... eat something else, decide what other healthier choice sounds good to me at the moment. It's all about self control, knowing when to stop, and knowing when it's okay to have a little sweet snack.

    Thank you all for your advice! It's been a great help for me! So far, I find myself enjoying more fruits. Little tricks I like to do so far is frozen grapes and blueberries, seems to feel like candies to me. And I have a lil dark chocolate (70%) every now and then. The snacks and candy is hard to avoid but so far, I find myself leaning towards the fresh fruit in the house than the candies. It's hard but I'm enjoying the healthy advantage from eating better. My skin feels better and I have a good amount of energy now. Once again, thanks for your responses! Means a great deal for me :)

    I find other ways to satisfy my sweet tooth. Frozen grapes (actually, most frozen fruits, like blueberries or strawberries are good), or things like dates are really sweet. What about making your own frozen yoghurt drops, or something like greek yoghurt with a little honey stirred in? Sweet, but not full of bad stuff.
