    I love sweets! Lately I've been hooked on Quaker Chewy granola bars the low fat ones are only 90 calories. The oatmeal rasin tastes like a cookie.

    I love any kind of dessert! MFP has helped me stay in control after seeing most calories are not worth it. I've started baking my own healthy muffins which have just enough sweetness but not too much! I've also been eating more naturally sweet foods like medjool dates which are like nature's candy (they also come coated in coconut or nuts) and raisins and eating less refined sugars like turbinado.

    I love sweets. Chocolates, Ice cream, and thick moist cakes and cupcakes smothered in cream cheese. I have a thing for Red Velvet anything:love: . I have been able to stay away from the ice cream (that puts the pounds on me faster than the speed of light, and I can,or could have, eaten nearly a half gallon at a time watching TV.) and have limited severly the cakes. Chocolates I exercise for and I am saving the Red Velvet for when I reach 60 days straight of logging in and logging under my calories. Then I am going to eat an entire Pepperidge Farm Red Velvet cake and probably a couple of assorted cupcakes

    I am a sweet lover as well, but particularly anything with chocolate involved. I have learned through logging on MFP that I can indulge if I make sure to keep my calories under the daily goal. Doing things this way seems to keep my sweet attacks under control. Feel free to add me.

    CHOCOLATE!!!! Anything as long as it's chocolate. That's my biggest problem. I can pass up a lot of sweets, but if there is chocolate involved it's way more difficult. I like Fiber One bars as a substitute.

    If it's chocolate, I crave it - white, milk, dark, with nuts, without nuts....you get the idea:) With the help of MFP I now have a method. I reserve the number of caloriesI need for my day's chocolate. Or I do a few extra minutes of any cardio I'm doing that day and save those calories for my chocolate. Chocolate lovers UNITE!!

    PS. My weakness is anything branded Hershey's

    eating my 7 jelly beans for the day as we speak....

    and I'm not sure if sweet tooth is accurate for me, since every ounce of my being craves sugar all the live long day.
    and night

    i'm just starting on my jouney and sweets are going to be my biggest battle! i know i will face others along the way, but this one will probably be the death of me...

    Hey! I am a super chocolaholic myself and I think it will always be something I will struggle with. I have recently started a dessert night. I only allow myself to have dessert one night a week, but it can be anything I want and if I go over my calories that day it is alright. It has been really fun to think about what I want my treat to be every week. I usually go out to a restaurant to get it so I don't have to keep anything to tempting in the house, and I bring my friends along to make it extra exciting! This has been working out great for me so far! There are also some pretty good lower calorie treat recipes try undressedskeleton's chewy chocolate chip cookies, they are great! http://undressedskeleton.tumblr.com/DoingDessert

    every time someone writes on here "hello Peeps." my mind goes straight to yellow and pink bunnies and chicks.

    I have a horrible sweet tooth..mostly chocolate, but ice cream is a close second. The absolute only way that I can control it is by not having ANY! I have no willpower whatsoever in the case of chocolate, so one bite equals the whole bag/container. It seems like once I can get passed a couple weeks without it, I don't really crave it anymore. It really is an addiction with me and I understand how hard it is for people to quit smoking/drinking, etc.

    I LOVE sweets, especially really sour sweets! Not saying I don't love chocolate either though! So far this week, I have polished off a big block of galaxy over two nights and lots of pancakes with nutella and ice cream tonight! I feel really bad now though :( I have gone over my calories (1300) a total of 6 times out of 16 :(

    Lately, I just cant seem to resist this and I'm lacking motivation to go to the gym after work! Need a serious kick up the bum!

    Sweets?
    ::Pulls fresh baked King Cake out of oven::

    No I don't really do sweets.
    ::Gives powdered sugar glaze a final stir::

    Don't you know giving that crap up makes you stop wanting it
    ::Pours glaze over cake and watches as sugary goodness cascades down the side of golden brown cake::

    I haven't had sweets in ages
    ::Liberally sprinkles purple, green and yellow sugar over melting sugar glaze on top of fresh baked cake.::

    Mmmphmmm pmm
    ::dips hot cake in leftover glaze and sweetened cream cheese filling before stuffing it in her mouth::

    :wink:

    Oh, I have a major sweet tooth -- my favorites are Cinnabuns (which are like 40 bajillian calories per bun, and that's before the extra icing) and vanilla cupcakes. I also love ice cream. I have been trying to find substitutes -- things are are sweet but not quite so ridiculous. Lately I've been enjoying Greek yogurt with honey, or a banana or apple slices with honey drizzeled on top. I also do fruit with light cool whip. I try to control myself by putting sweet things (like the cool whip and the honey greek yogurt) in the freezer, so that I have to wait for it to thaw before I can eat it. This forces me to reconsider if I really want it.

    We had game night last weekend and I knew we were expected to bring a snack. It was just one other couple and both of us are on a diet do we challenged each other to bring something that was calorie friendly. I ate lighter all day knowing that two treats is still going to add up.

    My snack?

    I bought a pound cake from the frozen section, thawed it and sliced it for portions. I chopped up strawberries and piled it on and measured out some whipped cream. Such a yummy dessert and it was about 170 calories!

    I love sugar :love: Bread-type sugary things are the best! honey buns, cinnamon rolls, cakes, cupcakes...also pies, candy bars, ice cream. MMMMMMM I love it all. I find the best thing for me is to just have it. I usually can stop after just one of whatever it is. So I log the calories and ENJOY! I just had a bowl of edy's chocolate fudge browny frozen yogurt for breakfast yesterday YUM!!! I put what I am going to eat in my bowl or whatever then the rest gets put away immediately. The main thing is keeping track. Anyways anyone can feel free to add me! I could use the encouragement and give it out too!
