HELP! (No, it's not really THAT dramatic????)

Ok so I'm sitting here and I REALLY want something sweet! My husband brought home Krispy Kreme's..ummm NO! My daughter is having a sleepover and they made homemade chocolate-strawberry cupcakes.....ugh! Noooooo! So of course now that I'm surrounded by sugar I want something too and NOT protein! So what do you eat that's sweet without the guilt? I've run out of ideals. I've included pictures of the hell I'm sitting in because I'm bitter!

  • How about some sugar free pudding. I make the sugar free instant and add protein powder to it. The nectar vanilla bean. Then after it's set instead of cool whip free I add nonfat plain greek yogurt. I

  • Fruit is always my go to when I need something sweet. It always seems to do the trick to curb the sweet craving! Or you could just have half a cupcake?

@@BLERDgirl I actually read that and forgive me I cannot remember who it was from but I have had a spoon full of natural peanut butter and I add a small drizzle of creamed Colorado honey to it. I do like that!

I am in maintenance and when I am craving something sweet I occasionally eat it. I just make sure to log it to account for the calories/carbs. Or sometimes I can plan ahead so my treat doesn't wreck my totals for the day.

Of course if I eat sweets too frequently the cravings start and I have a few rough days until they are gone. It's a balancing act. So far I have been able to occasionally indulge and keep my weight the same.

At least with our sleeve we get full fast so with a cupcake half usually works for me. Unfortunately, the Krispie Kreme doughnuts I can eat a whole one :(

Ouch! I dont have much of a sweet tooth, but those homemade cupcakes look pretty tempting and yummy. I would brush my teeth and then stay away from the kitchen, lol.

With you being at goal weight, you could probably savor part of a cupcake or donut and be fine! Skinny people have treats. I have read enough of your posts to know it wouldn't send you over the edge : )

I just want to thank you all for your suggestions and help through this hardship I'm having. No joke! We all know this isn't easy and if it is for you God bless. I have a lot of eyes on me so to speak and I don't want to let them down but more than that I don't any to let ME down. There are times in your life when you will be called "selfish" well I am, I will own that when it comes to this body and my health for once in my life I will be selfish and I won't fell sorry for it!! You guys are a true blessing and I am now and forever thankful for each and every one of you!

Cruel and inhumane torture those doughnuts & cupcakes are.

I recently placed an order with BariatricPal and included a box of double chocolate protein cake. I tried it for the first time today. It wasn't bad.
