    Yes I am a sweet addict as well. Fruit works well for my sweet cravings. But the fruit needs to be ripe for the best flavor. Also the 100 calorie snack packs are a good way to satisfy your craving without going overboard on calories. I am not a big fan of artifical sweetners so I don't do "sugar free" well. And one Hersey kiss hits the spot at only 22 calories.

    Hey Tamara. Im Jenn Im in SC. Welcome to MFP. I am also a sweet addict. But i agree with Kasey. I do the sugar free or eat just a peice of dark chocolate. I also found for me i freeze one of my yogurts as a treat lol. There was also a recipe some where on here that i tried and it was so good. It was peanut butter chocolate syrup and whipped cream in a mini cupcake cup and froze that really helped me.

    In the begining i was dying trying to curb those cravings. And sometimes i still give in but done over do it..

    Good luck on you journey...


    P.S. The people on here are amazing and so helpful and honest..

    Each time you have a craving for sweets try eating a small dill pickle. It tends to suppress that urge created by your "sweet tooth".
