Have you tried those Weight Watchers fudge bars. I think they are 100 calories and really good. I used to cut one up in a bowl add half a banana and just a little choc syrup and lost weight doing it.

aalaboutmary-thanks I will have to try to substiute weight watchers ice cream and add some fruit to it in a bowl and hope that helps.  Right now I am sucking on lollipops.  I figure if I have something in my mouth I can't stuff my face!! Haha!!  Something has got to help.  I guess if you are not taking the pills, you make a new addiction!!

I think you are so right. we find a new addiction.. When I finish this, then I have to stop the smoking... not looking forward to that. I enjoy it. But my dad died of lung cancer... So I have to stop... One thing at a time........
