Help! Sweet tooth!

[sabs84uk]

Hiya everyone. I've been doing ww properly for about 4 weeks now and I can slowly see a loss of no more than a 1 to 1.5 lbs a week. The problem is I have an incredible sweet tooth and although I'm eating within my weeklies and dailies I feel that maybe its affecting my loss? Anyone got any advice on how to curb my sugar cravings? I just finished my totm so this weeks been particularly terrible lol
Thanks x

I'd agree with Jambo. I also have a very sweet tooth. I used to bake cupcakes every weekend - so have had to make some major adjustments. I also have a meringue with strawberries and a tablespoon of elmlea for 2pps. I also buy the weight watchers mallows from the pound shop - 6 in a pack - they are 1pp each and are very sweet. Can hit the spot when you need it.

Good luck.

If you can control yourself then it's fine to have treats here and there.

But with me I've noticed my sweet tooth makes me go off track - when I did a sugar free week the lbs fell off. Also it's healthier not to have too much sugar anyway. I have no idea how to curb the craving though. I'm just going to cut out out junkie Sweet things. You won't crave it if you're not eating it so just force yourself and then the rest of the week won't be so hard. If you pair up with someone to do this , it'll be motivation for you. My hubby did it with me (sug free week) I think it helped. Will be trying alone starting today.

Just buy the sweets or chocolates you like but he funsize ones! Less points satisfy the same
