I no longer crave sweets

Here's my story. During the illness and death of a loved one, I literally ate my feelings for a few months, stopped exercising, and my weight went from 120 lbs to 138 lbs. I'm 5'6 and a 45-year-old woman. This was by far the heaviest I have ever been in my life and I was furious that I let myself go from fit to fat. So in addition to calorie-cutting and getting back to the gym, I decided that I would cut out sweets entirely until I lost all the weight. It's been about 6 weeks of no sweets and my weight is now down to 131 lbs. But the best part is that I have zero cravings for them. During PMS, I actually watched family eat chocolate cake in front of me and was FINE. I truly think that we get so addicted to sugar and other unhealthy foods that cutting out sweets except for rare special occasions is the way to go. Just like moderation doesn't work for alcoholics, neither does continuing to eat sweets for people who overeat. (For those who are curious, my diet is 99% vegan/1% vegetarian and also heavy on berries and veggies. I had gotten fat eating icecream).
