Eating sweets

I'm a bad preson when it comes to chocolate always,  but during this pregnancy I'm going crazy if I don't have some sweets next to me! It makes me so mad that I can't resist it! And when I wasregnant with the first one I wouldn't even look at the chocolate! I really want to stop! Because I know I will gain weight like crazy! What should I do?

I tried buying smaller treats, but I will just eat more of it. Plus I'm a stay home mom so if there is something at home I will not stop myself! And the worst thing is that my husband keeps buying them because he is a sweet eater too lol

Try to buy small sizes (even if theyre on sale ...lol) and only put 1 day serving size close to you. I "hide" my sweets in my car trunk and at work I put them far from my office so I know I won't be tempted to walk all the way to my car or to the public storage area multiple times a day.

I'm craving sweats too but I had to move in with my parents because we r waiting for our new house to be ready and we r so broke I can't run up and buy treats from the store. My mom is always around and critiquing everything I eat or buy. So she has been my reason to not indulge, but I swear, as soon as I am in my new place I am going crazy the first night! Haha

I'm going thru my sweet stage too. Last two weeks I couldn't had enought chocolate cake, cheese cake and french toast but I think I'm getting over it finally.
The last cake we brought is still sitting in the refrigerator and I haven't even look at it.
But I do reach for my special k yogurt and fruit cereal when I want something churchy and sweet late at night. At least it's healthy :)

I'm the same way but really all you can do is maybe try healthy sweets? Like fruits or dark chocolate.. cereal and yogurt with fruit is so good to me when I want something sweet. And also peanut butter, bananas, graham crackers.
