Hungry for something sweet

[debidoo]

I am trying to eat better because I have diabetes 2 and I love sweets and it is hard for me to resist.  I have gone days without anything but fruit but what I really want is pie or cake or ice cream.  Do you have a sweet tooth?

They say you are either sweet or salty, and I am definitely sweet.  Like you, I sometimes am at home and I will get such a hankering for something sweet.  It is very difficult to resist.  It is better if I just don't buy it at the grocery and have it in the house.  If something I really like is in the house, game over!

Maybe you can eat something like a vanilla wafer to satisfy that craving.  It's not pie or cake but a tad of sweetness.  I gave up really sweet treat and only eat maybe a sliver once in awhile.  In the summer months, I want that ice cream.

I am sorry to hear you have diabetes 2. I hope you will be well. I have an incurable sweet tooth and often have had cravings for ice cream, snack cakes and candy bars. I have to be careful and am forcing myself to go on another diet because I have gained a lot of weight back that I need to lose. In the past on my diet i would go weeks without even looking at a sweet. I am going to try and control myself better this time.

i do have a sweet tooth. this time of year i love ice  cream- i had some last night!. i too am a diabetic. i put raspberries in my yogurt. that helps. raspberries have fiber and not much sugar which fill you up and lower your sugar level.

I like sweet stuff.  I have found that when I try to eat less of it I do better if I cut it out completely and stay away from it.  It is like an addiction.  Once I eat it then I want more of it.  When I cut it out and stay away from it I do not seem to miss it all that much.

I don't know how severe your illness is, but when my dad had diabetes I made him desserts like apple pie with Golden Delicious apples that don't require extra sweetener and other desserts with Nutrasweet. He loved it and it didn't seem to affect his diabetes that severely at the time.

I don't really have a compulsion for sweets but I like chocolate a lot. So I would say I do not have a "sweet tooth."  I'm more of a "chocoholic."

I have a bad problem with ice cream at night.  I try to have a very small bowl of it.  I just should not buy it at all LOL  but then I would just find something else to eat at night

I like eating Pie and Cake sometimes as long as it is home made. I don't like eating anything like that if it is from the store.

I love sweets. I gave up my oreo cookies quite some time ago. I also started eating fruits instead of cookies and candy. I still miss my oreos but plan to stay focused on eating healthy. I would like to say it gets easier but it does not.

I definitely have a sweet tooth! I have been trying to eat healthier myself so I've been trying to avoid purchasing candy. My goal is to buy fruits and eat them at least 1-2 times a day when I get sugar cravings.

Also, my little brother is a Type 1 diabetic.  I think it should be OK to eat pie, cake, etc. every once in a while if you eat a serving and/or in moderation.

I love sweets. I eat a lot of ice cream and frozen yogurt. But I stay focused on what I'm eating.

I finally gave in to temptation on the 4th.  I had a half cup of mint chocolate chip ice cream. Of course, I wanted to eat the whole carton, but exercised all of the self-restraint I had.

I really do not have a sweet tooth but my husband is horrible and also has diabetes.  I hate taking him grocery shopping because he always tries to sneak something in the cart and then we end up fighting about it.  I would rather not have it is in the house then you are less tempted.

I love sweets!  I don't have one favorite, seems I like them all....candy, ice cream, cake and pies!  The struggle is real! LOL
