My ways to combat the sweets is to either have fruit instead, or share the sweet thing with someone else, or not have it in the house so that I have to walk somewhere to get it if I really want it. <br /><br />Sometimes I just give in and have sweet stuff, even if it goes on for a few weeks or a month at a time- by the end of that, I'm able to cut myself off and work hard to ignore the call. Also, thinking about it logically ("I'm going to bed in a couple hours so why should I eat 500 calories worth of sweet foo right now?") sometimes helps.<br /><br />- SaganAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556798956226801460.post-53437337688961010492009-05-25T16:42:31.300+10:002009-05-25T16:42:31.300+10:00MizFit - I'm very curious and looking forward to y...MizFit - I'm very curious and looking forward to your post on this. <br /><br />Berni - Ah cravings that go away.

What works for me (so far) in maintenance mode is to set parameters for sugary snacks. I can have small items daily (a Hershey's kiss or two, for example) through the week OR I can have a splurge-y dessert once a week. It's not a question of willpower so much as a guideline I've established for healthier living.<br /><br />All of that is out the window when I'm on vacation, of course. :)Cammy@TippyToeDiethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547787031318303521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556798956226801460.post-5042691269388117862009-05-23T12:06:02.547+10:002009-05-23T12:06:02.547+10:00I still would like to know.

But since I know I love sweets and I am not going to totally give them up, I keep healthier options in the house like fresh fruit with coll whip or animal crackers and graham crackers from Trader Joe's. That way I have the sweets, but with less calories. Less guilt but still curbing that sweet craving.kristisummerhttp://www.summerfitness.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556798956226801460.post-62903826781747495642009-05-21T12:49:45.706+10:002009-05-21T12:49:45.706+10:00I find if I can stick with the willpower long enou...I find if I can stick with the willpower long enough the cravings subside and I can manage it all a bit better.
