Staying out of the kitchen
I'm DESPERATELY needing to lose weight.
Ten pounds at the least.
I'm over weight, and I need it off.
I can do really well with healthy eating it's jsut soemtimes I CRAVE sweets, like I need them, so what can i do to either trick myself out of it, or what foods that are low fat and low calories are there that are sweet.
Wish me luck.

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
everytime you have a suger craving keep telling your self how much you want to loose this weight and how dissapointed your going to feel after you eat this. Also, subsitute junk food with more healthy foods. Like instead of eating a bag of potatoe chips, have some sunflower seeds, or carrots.

hey,
this is rather different:
I lost ten pounds by eating just one thing at lunch (breakie bar) and two at dinner (toast + fruit/yoghurt etc). Sometimes having one or two sweets isn't a bad thing. Don't discard them all together because it will make you crave them more.
It's a weird thing, the body. Sometimes people don't want fruit or healthy stuff and sometimes its not a bad thing to have sweets. As long as you LIMIT yourself.
Good Luck,
Biriani

I can only think of weird alternatives.
Honey is a good alternative to add to snacks or suck on a sugar cane. Fruits are yummy and nutritious and sweet at the same time - a very healthy alternative! Why not just eat your favorite fruits?
Artificial sweeteners are sort of worse for you (current studies are trying to see if it links to cancer) but a little bit of sweetner is sweeter than if you had the same amount of sugar.
I think if you do eat sweets in moderation that would be better for you. If you starve yourself of sweets you may go on a mega-binge and that would be bad in the end. It's good to allow yourself a sweet once in a while. Maybe you can bribe yourself that you can spend your money elsewhere on CDs or clothes and stuff or have your family members help out and ban you from the sugar closet or something. lol or eat only once a week or keep yourself busy doing other things. Speaking of which, I myself cannot stop eating. My solution is to exercise more.
I don't think this is a good idea, but it's extreme. You can gorge yourself on SO much sweets at once that you don't want to go near it again. I don't know if that would work.

special k bars are good for that. they're very sweet, they even have a chocolatey drizzle version. they only have 90 calories and they help alot! you can have sweets, just dont over do it.
