How can I,stop eating so many sweets

When I feel like I am DONE eating for the day and don't need anything extra, I go ahead and brush my teeth for when I go to bed. Sometimes I brush my teeth hours in advance but it keeps me from eating. I also floss and use mouthwash... it lessens the chances that I will eat again because I HATE going through the brushing/flossing/rinsing process.
If you are at the beginning of your lifestyle change, this is the time to figure out if when you are having those cravings you should indulge a little (maybe with some 100cal pack cookies or sugar free pudding) or if you should just cut out the sweets cold turkey. If you find that when you indulge with a cookie pack, but find yourself eating 2 packs, then 3... you should probably just cut sweets out completely. When you are having cravings, just drink water, brush your teeth chew gum, suck on mints, eat fruit0 -
You can buy the gum anywhere! I buy mine at wal-mart and they also have a strawberry shortcake gum that is really good too for 5 calories.0
