Trust me, I dont have as much self-control as I would like.. I like cookies.. cupcakes.. any kinds of sweets.. just as much as the next person.. but to avoid this.. i just dont buy them..


if i am craving them usually i will eat something else healthier instead bc its not available.. if i keep craving it after a few days.. which is rare i will eat something sweet.. but if you eliminate buying these things you wont eat them.. after awhile you wont really crave them..

for me after giving up soft drinks i craved them so much.. now when i have one it actually tastes wierd..


i know not everyone is the same.. i just said that this is what works for me..
