Getting tempted for sweets 😔

[Jeyal]

Really finding it difficult

Go for a walk to take your mind of the sweets or give them away so the temptation is removed.

Good luck with your week.

Keep logging the calories for every single one. It soon puts you off!

I am an absolute chocoholic, I crave it so badly. So I have bought some sugar free polos and I will try and stick to 6 a day (20 calories). I'm very new to this but I am hoping that by the time I have finished sucking on one, the chocolate craving will have gone down. There's a tub of Celebrations on my colleague's desk, right in my eye line, and I haven't touched it today.

Maybe try dark chocolate? It's not so high calorie and I find I can't each much of it (whereas I can eat any amount of milk chocolate!) one small piece a day might help the craving? And beware eating too many sugar free polos - can have an unpleasant side effect (rushing to the loo) for some people. I think it is the sugar substitute which has a laxative effect.

That is good idea I love dark chocolate

You can get sugar free gum and sugar free sweets like ricola. Aldi make their own too. X

Hi, I allow myself a small sweet later in the evening as part of my calorie allowance - at the moment funsize Mars Bar (80 kcals each) and then follow it up with a fruit tea so I don't crave more. Works so far, but I'm only in my third week. Sweet grapes to nibble are good, too.
