I need help with my sweet tooth.

A bite of chocolate or mints will not stop weight loss. Now, if you are over consuming them, then maybe but there's nothing wrong with fitting a little sweets into your day. That was the only way I stuck to losing my weight.

Calorie deficit for weight loss, macronutrients and micronutrients for body comp and health. Finding balance in those things and you can lose weight without completely giving up things you enjoy

I try to keep chocolate chips on hand.(the ones you bake with) When I get a craving, I pop A FEW in my mouth.

Buy small individual portions of good quality chocolate (I like to go by the Lindt or Godiva shops and pick out a few truffles, I can enjoy/splurge and stick to one piece for a treat). The quality over quantity helps!

Also, I like the Dark Chocolate Vitatops, they are 100 calories and have a good bit of protein and fiber. You can warm them in the microwave and they are great, with gooey chocolate bits. You can also "splurge" and squirt on some fat free Redi Whip and strawberries for a relatively decadent dessert under 150 cals!

Like others have said, if it's a bite, that's no problem at all, just log it. I ate plenty of chocolate and ice cream while losing 90 lbs.

If it's that you are having trouble limiting your calories because of it, think about when you are eating it and in what context. For me what worked was focusing on meals and allowing some really-worth-it sweets as a post-meal option on occasion, but not typically allowing snacks, especially not ones that would be eaten just because they are there.

I agree log it and eat it. I had 2 chocolate chip cookies (160 calories) & 1/2 cup of vanilla ice cream tonight (140 calories) and it was worth every bite!

Fruit, fruit and some fruit.

Thawed (previously-frozen) fruit has an especially sweet taste.

I took a diet break and by Day Two, I was like, "No, I don't want this crap. I want my berries!" I really like them better than the candy and junk.

log it and eat it, i have my 9 dark chocolate hershey kisses every work day and i have leftover peanut butter balls and chocolate mint fudge in my freezer from christmas

I love those individually wrapped York Peppermint Patties. They 50 calories per so I just make sure that I have room in my plan for that on the days that I want it. I have also made a slice of whole wheat toast with homemade strawberry preserves.

I am on day five of a sweets fast. I could not go a day without cake or cookies and could not stop at wanting only one. I drink a lot of flavored coffee, eat frozen grapes, and substitute the sweet cravings with no sugar added fruit cocktail or pears.

you could always earn it. A 3 mile run will allow for a 300 calorie splurge. a bag of m&ms is under 300 calories.

Sugar free fudgesicles are only 40 calories, while being pretty chocolatey and good. Fiber one brownies/bars are only 90 calories, rice krispie treats are 90, weight watchers makes some lower calorie icecream bars and popsicles, the dark chocolate covered raspberry popsicle (also 90 calories) is pretty great. Skinny cow makes some candy bars that are 110 calories. They make chocolate and caramel rice cakes, which might not be your idea of sweet goodness, but maybe! You could get some PB2, powdered peanut butter, and make your own cookies or form of dessert that are lower in calories since pb2 is much much lower than peanut butter.

I've, clearly, had to overcome this too lol =P Finding lower calorie snacks that didn't destroy my day helped a bunch.

If you want to buy something you love (like cookies), pre-portion them into Ziploc baggies. If you have to, write the macros as well (calories, fat, carbs, ect), to give you a visual of what you're going to eat if you keep going back to more.

I find that pre-portioning stuff in one go is a lot better than weighing out servings each time I want something, and gives me a visual.
