How do you satisfy your sweet tooth?

I ensure I have a small bit of chocolate every night after dinner. (Mini Mars bar, frozen)
I can't be trusted with most baked goods so I don't go near them anymore - not until I have this weight loss thing under control.
I use artifical sweetener most days - in my coffee, in my oats, in plain 0% fat Chobani. Plus a squirt of vanilla extract if the mood takes me.
I have fruit as a snack where I can, and sometimes just a few sultanas or raisins is enough to give me a taste of sweetness.
I'm in no way against sugar, I just love sweet things as well and so have to keep well away unlessI have budgeted for it in my calories!

Lately it has been M&Ms. I buy the large bag and it will literally last me months. If you are able to stick with small amounts at a time it works well. I usually eat 15-20 several times a week. If you can't hold yourself to limits I wouldn't recommend this approach.

I'll admit I've been going a little overboard on Easter candy this week, but when I'm in my more usual routine, I like to have a half-cup of light ice cream (about 130 calories), an ice cream sandwich (about 160 calories), or a fudgsicle - something like that. Tootsie Roll Pops are awesome, only 60 calories and they take you a while to eat!

I don't bake much anymore, but my fiance likes to make cookies and brownies still. When he does, I bring some of the extras in to work (they disappear fast!) and/or limit myself to one serving a day. Eat it slowly with a glass of milk and it's more than satisfying.

Weight watchers chocolate raspberry ice cream bars are delicious! I keep animal crackers in the house and Carmel rice cakes.

Sugar free popsicles, 15 cals each. I usually have several each night. Also a regular size hershey bar, 210 cals, or a york peppermint patty, 140 cals I think, are good if they fit into your calorie budget. I cannot buy a large bag....just have to buy one at a time.

By keeping a steady rotation of seedless grapes in the freezer it decreases the amount of the hulk smash feeling I get when the withdrawal symptoms of my previous life's chocolate addiction kick in.

Jello sugar free chocolate pudding--the cook & serve (not instant) stuff. I make it with water only, no milk, so the entire box is only 120 cal. That means I can indulge on 2 cups of chocolately goodness with no guilt!

Gummy worms and mr freeze bars...

Yoplait boston cream pie = 90 cals, 5 proteins.

Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom vanilla bean and salted caramel variety pack = 100 cals each.

Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom fudge bars = 60 cals

I prefer things which come in individual portions so I'm not tempted to have an extra bite or two.

Pb2. It tastes very sweet to me, sugar free fudgesicles, 17 dark chocolate chips, liberte full fat lemon yogurt OMG but it is 240 calories

chocolate, but I try to make sure I exercise enough to get a comfortable calorie buffer, and watch whatever else I eat.

eat whatever you want, just in moderation, log it and learn how much of it you can eat

enjoy

I find that when I go without any sugar whatsoever and basically "clean" out my body of sugars (this takes at least about 7 days to do in my case) the first thing I put in my mouth that contains any sugar whatsoever tastes like an explosion of sugar. Even an apple or a tomato or a Valdivia onion tastes like heaven. A tablespoon of honey tastes like a pound of candy. Try this and see if it helps to control your sweet tooth.

Nobody has a bigger sweet tooth than me. I can eat (and have) an entire gallon of butter crunch ice cream in one day. An entire bag of Bit O' Honey in one afternoon. And that list goes on. One thing I have learned is that when you have a sweet tooth, and getting your hands on your Achilles heel, candy, cake, icecream, whatever, it's like being an alcoholic. You can never stop at just one. Opening the floodgates is what is your undoing. So try not to.

Food for thought: Sugar is addictive and a toxin. Go to youtube and watch some videos on sugar and how bad it is for you and it will change the way you think about your sweet tooth and putting sugar into your body even in low quantities.

Guessing I should add that I have lost 40 lbs. and am in the homestretch now.

When I can, I budget for an actual dessert, just a small serving: ice cream, a half a piece of pie, a couple of cookies. But more often I go for very dark chocolate in tiny pieces. The Black and Green Maya Gold bar is 18 calories for a square! Sure, each square is tiny, but it's rich and flavorful and if I break off a piece or two, I can feel like I've had a treat.

Other things I enjoy: fruit (our supermarket has had fresh pineapple on sale: ~ 50 calories for 100 grams and a real treat because in New England it's usually stupid-expensive); fruit-and-juice pops (~70 calories); hard candy when I'm tight on calories but really want a bit of sweetness.

Me too.

I bake my own muffins and brownies. I substitute applesauce for oil and use egg whites instead of eggs. They turn out really well and you'd never know they low calorie. I reduce calories further by using a stevia blend. Right now my oven is broke so I can't bake boooo.

I also buy low calorie treats, like Weight Watchers ice cream bars, brownies, etc etc.

I still eat chocolate, but only one chocolate at a time. I got quite a few chocolate bunnies for easter, so I eat one at a time.
