I feel like I constantly could eat something sweet. I really try not to, but I can still down 1/2 G of ice cream. Oh so bad I know. Anyone else bad out there??? I feel like a total schlep. Help!

Hard Candy. If you have to have a sweet - suck on a piece of hard candy. (no crunching!) I like those hot cinnamon drops - one of them lasts for several minutes - but only hits you with like 11 calories or something.
Just remember - ice cream is evil...

Yep *sheepishly raising hand from corner* I've had a sweet tooth lately too. I'm trying hard to eat fruit when it pops up on me.
Something about the summer and the yummy ice creams and popsicles always get to me.

It may be the nursing thing! I have days where I have to eat it!!! I solved it with sugar free jelly beans; and small 1/2 cup dishes that I can only put in that much ice cream and I locke the refrigerator (I also use choclate syrup) But sometimes your body might really be asking for something it needs!!!
My problem is popcorn!! (also the only food I can eat and drink with)

I take sugar free chocolate pudding powder and whip into heavy whipping cream,let it chill .. very very low carbs and curbs my sweet tooth, it tastes just like chocolate mousse so yummy!
Alos when I feel like a candy bar, I eat Balance Gold Protein Bars ( Triple Chocolate) tates like the real deal but loaded with protein

Thank you! Now I don't feel soo bad about the cravings. I'm not going to buy anymore--so I say. I will definetly try the pudding w/ whipping cream. I just bought some South Beach meal replacement and breakfast bars---YUM YUM YUM. They have 20 grams protein also--bonus. My problem is my husband-- he loves ice cream--and asks why I didn't buy any-- he's a junk foodaholic-- but never gains weight-- makes me sick-- I'm going for my 1st fill today, wish me luck! Maybe that will help with the cravings--I doubt it.

Well, I bought some fudge bars and hard candies the other day. Problem is, I can't eat just one! Yummy though.

I grab a choc viactiv calcium or viactiv multi-vitamin chew. Really helps with the sweet tooth and I'm taking care of my calcium/vitamin needs at the same time.
There's also s/f popcicles.
STAY AWAY FROM THE ICE CREAM!!! It's easy to get down and a poor choice for comfort food, trust me, you will be sorry, just a warning. ( I know from experience after a week of every other day stopping at Sonic and eating a lil ol blaster...954 calories, yikes, and I couldn't figure out why I wasn't losing weight)
