Thank you for the tips! I will give it a try!
It's hard to combat sweet cravings, so I instead reach for sweet but healthy snacks like sweetened dried cranberries, honeycrisp apples, prunes, etc. I also scan the health foods aisle at the grocery store for fruit juice sweetened bars, sorbet, etc. If I going to eat bad, I'll at least try to find the healthiest version of it. Same thing goes for those coffee drinks - decaf, nonfat, no whip, but maybe a dash of cinnamon. I also resort to drinking a big glass of water or milk to dilute my craving - it works! I hope you'll find this helpful.
