Sometimes this evil monster comes out and FORCES me to eat sweets ... and just like Flip Wilson... all I can say is "The Devil Made Me Do It!" It's rare but, unfortunately, today was one of those days. My small little five-person office has over 20 candy jars, two lateral file cabinet drawers FULL of candy, and stuff coming in from vendors all the time. So, yes, on occasion I just totally lose control.

every day i eat a sweet ..it may not be a big candy bar but my sweet tooth craves something i try to eat fruit most of the time but sometimes the fruit dont cut it and if i buy candy with sugar alchol i get sicker than eating real sugar
i usually have a biscotti with my second cup of coffee i love them but limit myself to only 1 a day and once a week i treat myself to a cannoli but dont put the powdered sugar on it and eat only half the shell..
if im craving chocalate bar i buy one break off half throw it away and take other half home and saver it..
not bad compare to i used to eat 4 candy bars a day before surgery eat 5 cookies

I eat sweets and have for quite some time. I didn't when I was in the first phase of weight loss but have ever since. If I go to a graduation party or wedding I have a piece of cake, I hardly ever fini**** but I have some. I have chocolate every once in a while, and I could probably have a s'more if I wanted to, but that's just too much at one time and would be too sweet I think. I'd have the chocolate or the graham cracker or the marshmallow but not all at once. I don't deprive myself and if I want something I have it - usually it's half or just a few bites - not the whole thing. For me this surgery is learning how to eat healthy not about depriving myself.
Once in a while I do. I think if I didn't I would feel deprived and like JoAnn said a cookie or one piece of candy occasionally is not going to
destroy all my hard work. Remember when a bag of cookies and a box of chocolates weren't unusual!!!!!
We are people not machines. a little splurg once in a while is nice.
