Cravings for sugar have returned!

Hi all! I was sleeved 12-13-2010 and as of today I have lost 74lbs.

I have been loving my sleeve! I love never truly feeling hungry. My down fall is....old habits. I have always had a killer sweet tooth. (Diabetes on both sides) actually up until about 2 wks ago I was elated because I didn't even want sweets at all. But, all of a sudden it has come on strong!!! i find myself having a nibble here, a bite there of a cookie or cake. i never endulge and sometimes as soon as it's in my mouth i go spit it out. but regardless....it is driving me nuts. i hate this feeling of not being in control.... well besides that issue things are going pretty good. I am drinking the Unjury Protein Shakes and i mix them with soy milk and sometimes add frozen fruit. They are just not good to me. i have tried adding splenda...but it doesn't help. I just ordered .. BSN Lean Dessert Protein mix today. I hope it tastes better!

Each person has to work thier sleeve how they need to but my personally, I will allow myself to have sweets. I don't believe in totally writing off stuff because that just makes me want it worse and then I end up bingeing! If/when I get a craving for something then I have it. For example, RIGHT NOW I wanted something sweet so I just put A cookie in the oven and it's baking. One cookie isn't going to kill all the work I've done and sometimes by the time it's done cooking and then cooling I don't even want it anymore! LOL Good Luck and keep up the good work!!!
