Hey MFP friends,

I am so excited to be on this journey with all of you! I could use some help from all of your fabulous people. I have an overwhelming sweet tooth. I ADORE things like jujubes, wine gums...the chewier and sweeter the better. I love fruit, but somehow it doesn't have that same "guilty pleasure" feeling and I never feel as satisfied. Any of you other sweet lovers out there have some low-cal, good-for-you, diet-friendly sweet treats that satisfy your sweet tooth?

Lots of luck and positive vibes on your health goals!

Amy

    Try putting some sweet green grapes in the freezer It makes them have a smooth texture like ice-cream!
    you could try making homemade fruit roll ups out of healthy fruit???
    or just dehydrate some fruit until its chewy not crispy...

    Haven't found anything that will replace candy really properly. But craisins have the chew factor. And when I'm eating fruit, I'll cut it up so it's more "popable", and a big bowl of raspberries sometimes helps me feel like I've got a big bowl of candy. I think it's just a matter of trying to break the habit. After a few weeks of raspberries over candy it does get much easier.
