No sweets & I'm irritable

Sugar free chocolate syrup is great drizzled on strawberries and only 15 cal.0

Budget in a square or two of dark chocolate, and then savor it - let it dissolve slowly in your mouth, inhale the scent, swirl your tongue around in the flavor - you can get more mileage out of a square of Dove Dark (my favorite, and only 42 calories) than you can imagine.
This is how I do it exactly. If you eat too fast, you will not be satisfied by two squares but really savour it and you can be and will stop at that. The sky will not fall down. If you allow yourself a little of what you crave, you will not end up binging on way to much of it later - that's me anyway...0 -
I don't feel like any food is off limits, just do it in moderation. Starting last week I am letting myself have one day that I can eat some of my favorites and not feel guilty. I think it is fine, if I am following the program the other 6 days of the week and I am exercising 5-6 days a week.0

i hadn't had too much in the way of sweets for the past 2-3 months, and chocolate only recently sounded really good to me. So this is what I did:
In my protein/green smoothie (consisting of frozen blueberries,spinach, protein powder, and vanilla almond milk) I put in a tablespoon of Hershey Unsweetened Cocoa Powder. One tablespoon is all that's needed, and it's a mere 10 calories. The entire smoothie is of chocolate blueberry deliciousness.0 -

That sounds amazing!0 -
eat sugar free sweets- they have come a long way, some are pretty tasty and you can't even believe they have no sugar.0

What I do is, if I really just can't find it in me to avoid maybe a snickerdoodle (seeing as those are the current enemies in the house), I'll do my cardio intense workout, and then afterwards eat only one for the taste. It'll burn a lot faster during that golden hour. It's just persistence, sadly, though, fruit can help a lot, too.0

I find those little individually wrapped chocolates do the trick for me. Like Ghirardelli. My husband has to hide the bag and distribute them to me one at a time. But his weakness is m&ms. I can't stand those. So I hide the m&ms and give him just a little bit when he's craving chocolate.0

You can have your sweets, you just have to balance into your 1200 calories0

1/2 scoop chocolate protein shake, 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt, some ice and water = delish 8 oz chocolate shake for 92 calories0
