I try to work a daily treat into my daily calorie allotment. Do you have one?

I eat 2 peanut butter creme Oreos. Logging it keeps me from eating more though couple days I have eaten 4

    I've eaten two double chocolate Magnum ice cream bars this week, and kept within my daily calorie count. Very yummy on a hot afternoon!

    Yes! I avoid them on days when I'm hungrier (or I'm more likely to binge) but otherwise, I try to fit them in...

    I alternate between cookies, ice cream, chocolate, pudding, sometimes a Fiber One treat etc. If I only have 30 calories left I have a caramel.

    50 - 100 g Haagan Dazs salted caramel ice cream
    10 g freshly ground flaxseed

    Place in small bowl and enjoy with a teaspoon so it lasts longer. The flaxseed slows down the dissolving process so the flavours and content stick around longer.

    Yep, I have a treat every day.

    Last night I had NY baked cheesecake. Nom!

    The night before it was a Mars Bar icecream.

    All within my calorie limit.

    Deprivation diets are unsustainable.

    Glass of wine or a beer and a dark chocolate truffle = 170 cal
    Even on 1200 cal maintenance you have to have the things you love.

    Cheers, h.

    You actually can ice maiden...I've seen them usually at Tesco's american section.
    I avoid them though...I know I'd end up with an empty packet haha

    I nearly always have a treat at the end of the day with the family, and still stay within my calories.

    A couple of Lindt Lindor truffles. If I'm having a sweet tooth and want something with more nutrition I have plain greek yogurt with a bit of honey and fruit. When I'm feeling nostalgic I have graham crackers with chocolate frosting...yes, from a jar. My mom used to make this for us when I was young.

    This probably sounds crazy...but my daily treat is 2 oz. black forest ham and 7 prunes every evening before bed. The sweetness of the prunes is like candy to me.

    I love the cadbury digestive cookies. There is nothing healthy about them lol. I found them in the International Isle at my Wegmans. I allow myself 2 every night.

    I make protein bars or power balls with protein powder, oatmeal, other stuff and chocolate. I usually enjoy a bite after lunch at my office with tea.

    Oooh - my local Tesco doesn't list them but maybe I can find some in other stores. I shall keep my eyes peeled!

    I love giving myself little treats. Whether its a gheradelli chocolate square with caramel inside or a dark chocolate bar after dinner, I rarely deprive myself of yummy-ness! I don't indulge every day but close to it :)

    I'm staying away from sweet treats. I'm that person that can't stop if I get the taste. I've been chocolate free for 46 days. Which for me is amazing.

    Yes I do treat myself once a week to a whipped Greek yoghurt with strawberry sauce. I work this in to my daily allowance.

    My every day sweet fix I get is a bowl of Lucky Charms at night. Though in the UK they are expensive.
