HELP! I can't stop with the candy!

Mrskelso123 · January 2015

I'm having a horrible time with trying to control my sweet tooth... It's not even sweets just candy! Funny thing is before I was pregnant I wasnt a candy/sweets person. I always ate healthy, worked out was fit and now all I want is carbs, candy and to sit on my butt! Anyone have suggestions?

I don't know how much better this suggestion is, bc I know these also have semi-high sugar rates, but what about dried fruit or Welch's fruit snacks instead?

Cravings mean you are lacking a vitamin. I was craving diet coke last week. I was actually lacking calcium.
Do some research as to what you really need.

if you are craving something sweet - try a piece of fruit instead of sweets.

never go shopping hungry.

avoid the candy/pop/chips aisle at the store.

Have you tried looking on the internet for sugar free cookies...you can make some great banana oat cakes that only contain natural sugar and oats are great for energy

Great! I will look into all those suggestions. I have been eating fruits and it seems to help a lot!

I know what you mean...my guilty pleasure lately has been chips. I never just ate chips now I'm eating Cheetos, Doritos, Lays you name it! And to whoever said just don't eat it is def trying to hard to give a snark response because everyone knows it's not that easy not to give into cravings.

We took all of our Christmas candy and consolidated it into one big bowl on our kitchen table. Everytime I walked past it, I had to eat a piece and I felt like crap. Every. Day.

I ended up taking all the candy to work and letting my coworkers pig out, then put a bowl of fruit on the kitchen table instead.

For me, it was all about what was accessable. It was easier to eat candy than make a salad.

I've never been one with a sweet tooth but DH and I were talking last night and said how all I want is sugar candies right now. Swedish fish are my weakness
