    The cookies may have fit in your calories for the day. You can have sweets. Check out the serving sizes and you'll be fine. If you want lots of ideas, do a search here as there are many low calorie options.

    You are addicted to processed sugar. You just have to stop and quit cold turkey. Takes about 2 weeks for the cravings to go away, but trust me it's so worth it! Substitute those sugary foods with fruit or other foods with natural sugar like berries, yogurt.

    The problem with processed sugar is they fill you up fast, but don't keep you full. You'll eat more in the long run. Remember, in order to lose weight you must eat at a deficit (burn more calories than you consume.)

    Overall, keep an eye on nutrition... but food guilt is overrated. If cravings fit your calories and you can... enjoy the cookie or cake you want. Those foods won't add fat. Eating too much beyond your calorie thresholds will.

    Fo me, I have ALWAYS had insane sweet cravings. However, in the last few months O have noticed that they have subsided a lot!!! I really feel like, for me, it is because I am making sure to eat more balanced. I closely monitor my macros and being more balanced seems to have really put the breaks on my cravings. On the days when I do have an urge to eat a sweet, I'll have some fruit, yogurt, or coffee with sugar. I also don't keep anything like cookies or ice cream in the house anymore so that I'm not just eating it just because it is there and I have to grab something better to curb a sweet tooth if or when it happens. But, a cookie here or there won't make or break you, just make sure it fits in your day. :)

    Halo top ice cream lol. 240 calories for the pint. I made a pint last a few days.

    I've found just cutting it mostly over time though has made me crave it less. Don't deprive yourself too much , just set aside 100 cals or so a day for a bad snack, that's what I do :P

    Nestle mini drumsticks are 110 calories. A Popsicle is 40. A fudge pop is under 100. A can of soda is 110-160. You can have whatever you like if it fits in your daily calorie goal.

    Fit them into your calorie goals :) My protein bar is usually good enough for me. Best of luck!

    Also, something to consider. Stop labeling foods "good" and "bad". You shouldn't feel terrible after eating two cookies. :)

    I have recently realized that when I start craving sweets, what I really need is more food in general. Your 4lb in one week weight loss suggests to me that you may be the same.

    Cravings are hard for me. 2 days straight of 'graze eating' my cravings left me feeling disheartened. Last night I craved Maltesers but finally didn't give in...took over an hour to fight it off...*sigh*.
