Yeah those ww ice creams are yum yum. Winter doesn't phase me when it comes to ice cream but I'm trying to cut that out too.

try buying a really expensive really yummy bar of chocolate that you can't afford to buy all the time and so want to make it last as long as possible...

Is it the fact that the sweet foods are a lot easier to reach for? and I'm not trying to sound rude here but it will probably come out like that. Have you thought that its just being lazy? IE you want convenience foods not just sweet foods.

I am an over eater especially lately cos I am so bored not working and all and can't even look for a job as being 7mths pregnant noone will hire you! I eat all the convenience foods all the time because they are there so does dp. We do find that if there is fruit in the house and there then we will eat it tho.

Muesli bars are a good option, the snack size yoghurts are good as they are portion controlled, I will often cut up fruit and chuck it all together then add nuts and its almost like a dessert. Try also drinking a glass of water when you are craving and see how long the craving actually lasts could be your dehydrated?

What has really worked well for me in the past is having one sweet treat at night if I had been good during the day. My treat of choice was a marshmellow easter egg. Low in calories and sweet. Of course I started my diet before Easter (this was last year) and then stocked up big time on the Easter eggs when they were on sale. Also, I would put them in the freezer and eat them frozen, yummy!

Try keeping some really good quality dark chocolate available, one with a really high cocoa percentage. A little should deal with the sweet craving. It's expensive but it lasts cos you generally don't want more than just a couple of squares.

I second the liqourice tea. I used to have this for pudding when DH was having icecream etc and I wasn't too jealous. WW has some new muffin bars (well new to me anyway) and they are really yummy if you put them in the toaster. The blackforrest one is great and it smells devine too (drool, drool). I know what you mean about avoiding diary. That's a sure way for me to lose weight. But I love cheese

i agree with the licorice tea, really good.
also used to do kind of the same as linda but with pinky bars, the mini ones, put them in the freezer and not so many calories as other sweet treats.
also find that if you put things in a container so you dont see it, often not as tempting if that makes sense...wont open the cupboard and see the delicious bikkies sitting there haha!
