I'm doing pretty good so far but I have moments when I just need something sweet and I grab a cookie which I'd rather not do at all.

My plan is to limit my sugar as much as possible but I'm going to be honest with myself in saying it will be a slow process.
Right now I'm not eating it much but I have days where I snap and eat cookies and candy.
I'll likely cut out most of the junk food minus ice cream. That's the snack I'm going to allow myself while eliminating all others, if possible.

Your best bet may be to find fruit you like. A few of cherries or chunks of pineapple or something? -- nm* - mara Jul 19, 08:37 3
- That's what I've been trying to do lately. Cantaloupe is my favorite and in season so I'm eating that a lot right now. - Krusty Jul 19, 08:45 2
  - OMG. I eat SO much watermelon this time of year - oblique Jul 19, 08:48 1
    - Ha! Nice! I cut the cantaloupe in half and eat a half at a time. Just scoop in with a spoon and enjoy. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 19, 09:01
Also, if you don't mind cooking, it is pretty easy to make sugar substituted cookies. I go so far as to make "4 ingredient" PB cookies - oblique Jul 19, 08:35 1
- I cook and bake all the time so I'm happy to make snacks. - Krusty Jul 19, 08:41
I've found this Breyers Carb Smart ice cream to be an excellent compromise -- (link) - oblique Jul 19, 08:26 1
- I'll give them a try. Thanks! :-) - Krusty Jul 19, 08:30
