Candy

Seems like you're craving sugar. It's tough to overcome, but maybe try chewing sugarless gum?

I don't allow myself to buy candy because if I do, it's all gone in 5 minutes and my blood sugar is sky high. Tell you this: please for the love of God do not buy sugar free gummy bears. Those are the (secret?) harshest laxative known to humankind.

You can get sugar free jelly beans.

If it is a specific jellybean that you like you may need to figure out how to fit it onto your diet, if not for every day at least throughout the week. When I go through those moments when I really want something and I know that I cannot manage a servicing I just go for until I reach overload and that usually causes our relationship to crash and burn!
Some candies that I used to love I have no desire to every allow to pass my lips - sometimes just giving into it without the guilt makes you realize it is not worth and not even that good. One of the things I changed was the quality of the chocolate that I eat, can't afford too much and it is not readily available so that helps as well.

I loved Fiddle Faddle, can't seem to every find any in my city so my good friend gave me 7 boxes for Xmas - 4 boxes down in 3 days -- I could care less if I never saw a toffee covered piece of popcorn every again!

I don't know, I think a trial/error approach would work for you, op. There were so many foods that I had trouble eating in moderation, but now I can. I think if you tell yourself you can have them, they'd be less tempting. Maybe save enough calories in the day for 1-2 servings of jelly beans and sit down to enjoy them after a delicious dinner? If that doesn't work and you end up eating too many, maybe you won't keep them in the house for a little bit, but try again at a later time. Or buy single serving packs of candy. I know many stores around where I live sell single servings of various candies and chocolate bars.

Also, mentos are good for the chewy sensation. There's so many flavors, and even if you eat the whole tube I'm pretty sure it's under 300 calories. Good luck op!

Fruit snacks are chewy, raisins too... but in reality if its that specific that you know exactly what you are craving... sometimes you just have to do it or you will not stop thinking about them.

I had issues with candy too. I used to think I needed to have a bunch of it (500-750 cal) every afternoon. I finally decided I was going to stick to my calorie target no matter what. The more candy I ate in the afternoon, the less dinner I would get. After a few days of going hungry at night, I realized that candy does nothing to fill me up and it's better to save my calories for a decent evening meal. Candy doesn't sound so appealing anymore.

I LOVE gummy candy... I try to avoid candy isles at the grocery store and never actually go inside a gas station if possible. I F*** some gummy worms up!
