No one forced u to eat anything sweet it’s u putting in yur stomach, u can eat muffins do it gluten free ,cake, donuts watch the calorie intake,bake yur own and eat healthier.
Im one of the lucky ones. Sweets I can easy walk away from. If we were talking about carbs like a croissant I would walk away. I cant be at a place where I’m triggered.
Think deeply about your Why, you have come far to this point so it would be more painful to have those sweet things and suffer because you did than simply avoiding them. If you can, bring your own healthy snacks and show them who’s the boss!
I am not a "sweet" person, but when that happens, I do not resist :) I just eat one small piece to taste the sweetness and that’s enough for me. Just keep a balance. Do not stop yourself from eating goodies, just do not overeat and avoid eating unhealthy snacks or foods the same day
I reflect on what my body really need. Is it just a craving because of seeing people eating sweets or just because I have some sweets in front of me ? Or does my body tell me that I really feel hungry ? In the 1st case then, I will make my mind strong and refuse to eat one of those delicious treats. Because I know that if I fell into the temptation, I will feel happy in the moment but soon after that, I wi regret my choice. I will feel bad and tell myself that I don’t have any force. But if I can resist, I know that the day I will eat that donuts, or muffin, or else, I will feel incredibly happy. Because it was something I really wanted and, my body told me I was hungry. So no shame and just savour that delicious tender sweet. It can be very hard to resist the urge of joining people eating sweets. But don’t forget you are a powerful person, you make your own choices, you live your very own life so, whatever you choose to do, join or not, don’t forget to just enjoy your time. You don’t have to feel any regrets or to shame yourself. You are wonderful and you are doing great things. Don’t forget that.
I like eat them from time to time because it’s normal that we need Sugar, but no one should eat them too much and that’s my opinion
First of all I make sure that they are never available! Often when I am happy I feel the urge to reward myself with one of them but since I rarely eat sugar I think about the painful result in my body afterwards and that keeps me away. I just go for a small walk with my dog and treat myself with a different sweetness. No matter how cheesy it may sound. The sweetness of beautiful moments is far better than the one of a muffin. If no matter what I want that muffin, I make a healthy alternative at home. Once in a while you also deserve that doughnut, but think, is a doughnut more worth that your health and your life?
Keeping myself distant and resistant to sweets by imagining my future self in its best way motivates me to keep my promise not to eat sugar.
I do occasionally have a sweet treat. I find that if I don’t allow myself any treats I will gore on them, once a bad craving hits. Moderation is key.
I have a sweet tooth so I can relate to this situation. What I do is that I satiate myself beforehand with healthy sweet dishes instead of starving myself of everything sweet. This way when I come across not so healthy sweet options I don’t give in the temptations.
