I have found coping with cravings hard too, as I have given up sweets. I used to eat about 4 boiled sweets a day. I used to eat them as an energy boost when pressurised at work. The pressure is still there but I have given up sweets. How did I manage this? Firstly expensive dental work and secondly visualising my teeth soaking in a sugar syrup and slowly rotting (which was exactly what was happening). I thought how stupid it was to be undergoing dental work and STILL eating sweets. Boiled sweets are the worst sweets for your teeth.

To stop myself eating something I shouldn't I just squeeze my spare tyre!! A wonderful deterrent and so accessible 24/7 !!

Good luck to everyone, but I can promise you that the cravings do get less!
