Im obsessed with cakes, chocolates, cheese cakes, apple crumble etc etc.
I put on so much weight because of it. I really want to make my body the best it can be. Mainly for confidence and so I can wear my sisters clothes again lol. Add me :)

    @monkeystikx, I didn't even need to watch that video to know what it was. Love that song.

    I have a sweet tooth, eat sweets every day in fact, and I've lost 80 pounds... You just have to burn more calories than you eat.

    I have a sweet tooth as well. A really, really bad sweet tooth.

    I actually found that totally cutting refined sugar out of my diet for a week helped. By the end of the week, even grapefruit was enough to satisfy my sugar craving.

    I ate a couple of Peanut M&M's the other day and was like "Holy crap, these are way too sweet."

    I did the same...totally cut sugar out for a week. Now I have individually wrapped Dove Dark chocolates around...they are a great transition to dark chocolate as they are still creamy and delicious. If I have a craving and can't resist, I'll have one (or two) and work it in to my calories for the day.

    I love sweets too but I've found some reasonable alternatives that do the trick for me. One favorite is Fiber One 90 calorie brownies. I think they are seriously good not like just "good enough" to get by. Another favorite (but a little more costly calorie wise) is Weight Watchers cookie dough ice cream sundae. They are 140 calories but worth every one of them. Dannon Lite and Fit greek yogurt in strawberry cheesecake flavor is pretty great and only 80 calories. You can love sweets and still lose weight it's just trial and error to find what works for you.
