My sweet tooth has been on full force today. I find that I am making good choices when it comes to meals, but turning down left over Christmas candy and cookies is rough. To help keep my cravings to a minimum(they will never be fully gone) I do one of three things: 1. I chew gum. If I have gum in my mouth I am less likely to eat something. 2. I eat a piece of fruit. Fruit (kinda) satisfies the need for sweets and it's 0 WW points which is nice. 3. I drink water. Whenever I get a craving I take a drink of water. Filling my belly up that way is way safer than eating a cookie or piece of cake. Cheating and indulging is okay now and then; but I need to create a lifestyle or a habit before I cheat. Cheating now would be more like reverting to my old ways. If I do that once I will be likely to just say "forget it" and give up. Keeping myself accountable will help me shed the pounds!
