10/26 & 10/27

I'm trying to fight the "sweet tooth" I used to have which has crept back into my eating habits .  What do you feed your "sweet tooth" with??

Silly as it sounds, I eat my Viactiv Calcium.  They're little caramels or chocolates, and they get me through.

I don't believe in denial, but I don't over indulge either.  If I get a craving for something sweet, I choose something like those teeny reeses peanut butter cups (the itty bitty ones).  They're yummy, and satisfy my craving.

I have a hard time with this - especially at this time of year...   Halloween, birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas - all days that, until a couple of years ago, revolved around food...   so now it is creeping back in.    I will NOT buy bigger clothes, so when the size fours get too tight, I start drinking protein shakes and eating SF popsicles...   albeit along with some of the other stuff that I enjoy - but I try to cut back on the carbs and treats...  

I like the Twin Labs chewable Calcium tablets they taste like sweet tarts. If I'm not careful I will eat too many and they are expensive.
Or
I like the mini reeses peanut butter cup - sugar free of course. I know better than to eat too many of those. Twice I've suffered because I ate 3 cups when my limit is 2, I hate suffering

I discovered Russell Stover Net Carbs.  I can't tell the difference in flavor, You don't eat too much because it gives you painful gas if you do and it has a low carb count, .4 carb per piece on the Pecan Delights.  Yep, .4, not 4 carbs.  The chocolate covered almonds are good too.
