Sweet tooth

So I have a really bad sweet tooth, and notice that if I totally deny myself, then I tend to have days where I binge on calories. So I have been trying to find stuff that is reasonable in calories and not to unhealthy (besides fruit) sometimes fruit don't cut it. So Skinny cow products are my friend. Dove dark chocolate and today I tried Fruit Newton Thins. 3 cookies 150 cals and they are whole grain. Pretty tasty too. What are some things you all indulge in that don't blow it for you.

    I like to eat the 100 calorie chocolate covered pretzels, and the 100 calorie dark chocolate stripe cookies. I know some people don't like the 100 calorie packs, but i think they are great for portion control as long as you only eat one!

    I eat a few spoonfuls of Greek God's Honey Greek Yogurt. It instantly satisfies my sweet tooth.

    3-2-1 Cake-take 1 box of your favorite flavor cake mix and 1 box angel food cake mix and combine them together dry. Take a microwaveable mug and put 3 tbsp of the cake mix in mug, add 2 tbsp water and mix, then microwave for 1 minute. Also spray mug with Pam. Once done top with fat free Cool whip! Enjoy! I got this from weight watchers!

    I'm the same way....can't deny myself or I'll mess up. I'm in love with Special K Strawberry fruit crisps. They taste like poptarts and are 100 calories for a pkg. I also love having frozen yogurt instead of ice cream.

    I also have a sweet tooth. I LOVE chocolate!! I like the Fiber One Chocolate & Oats bar, Weight Watchers candy, Russell Stovers Sugar Free candy, Prairie Farms Sugar Free Ice Cream, Skinny Cow products, Weight Watchers ice cream bars, brownies made with black beans are very good (sounds gross, but they are good), and you can find all sorts of recipes on skinnytaste.com or Dotties Weightloss Zone (www.dwlz.com). I know that chocolate is the whole reason that I've gained weight, so lately, I try to stay away from it, and just eat fruit. I was really wanting some today though for some reason, and a co-worker is constantly munching on M&Ms plain and peanuts. She always has them out on her desk, but I did good. I didn't touch them. And the thing that drives me crazy is she is soooooooooo skinny, and is always eating chocolate. I cannot stand her (ha ha). Just kidding. If there were such a group as Chocoholics Anonymous, I'd be the first to join it.

    I love to slice a banana and pour one TBSP of hershey's syrup over it. Eat with a fork and you feel like you are cheating!

    I have the world's worst sweet tooth! I try to eat fresh fruit--this helps. I buy the fun size candies (m & m; milky way) and eat two. Most days I just submit and eat a sweet instead of meat (within calorie limit). My sugar is almost always in the red!

    Cut a banana into chunks and freeze. Once frozen, drop into a food processor and blend. Eventually, it will turn into something resembling ice cream (after passing through a phase where it looks like rice...). Seriously! I thought it would never work but it actually looks and tastes like banana icecream!

    I just made some today and added in a small handful of dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (fake Chunky Monkey!).

    230 calories for a decent sized bowl, and 10g of fat (almost all from the nuts). If you don't mix anything in - it's just the amount of calories in your banana.

    I freakin' love goldfish crackers! I have 4 different kinds right now lol : pretzel, original, cookies and cream, and vanilla cupcake. I eat the non sweet ones instead of chips if I'm craving something crunchy/ salty and I add some of the sweet ones to Greek yogurt with fruit or eat some plain.

    I LOVE Fit N Active double chocolate protein bars, get them at Aldi. 190 calories, fills you up and oh so chocolatey. I eat them after I work out for the protein boost....I like the 100 calorie snacks too. I keep them in my desk at work.

    VitaBrownies and VitaTops (which are like muffin tops)....you warm them up in the microwave, and they are like warm brownies. Yummy, filling, and only 100 calories. :)
