If it is truly getting in the way of being healthy then you might want to remove them from your home. If it is more of an emotional thing perhaps allowing yourself to have them, but less frequently.

I use substitutes for junk sweets like I peel a banana and slice it lengthwise I spread a tablespoon of natural peanut butter on each slice. Then I melt 2 squares of dark chocolate and drizzle on top of peanut butter. Oh my-it's amazingly delish! I do that about once a week. It is soooo satisfying and healthy too. I keep lots of my fav fruit in my house and have for dessert. You do get accustomed to the yummy fruit.

Fruit might be a good substitute. Also, there are a lot of recipes for making things that taste fairly sweet in a healthier way. If you want to continue to eat sweets, learn to make some things that you like so that they are lower in calories, fat, and sugar.

Here's a link to a site that has several recipes for chocolate cake without as many calories and fat. Most of the recipes have less than 250 calories.

Oney, what is it that you're trying to control? Are you watching your calories? Sugar? Overall Carbs? All of the above?

The trick for me is that I can't cut the good stuff out entirely. Doing so makes dieting more of a pain in the butt, rather than a lifestyle change. And if you hate your diet, you're probably not going to stick to it. instead, I try to find food options within my calorie budget that still allow me to have some of the things I like. For example, the 100 calorie snack packs of oreo crisps are actually pretty good, and low on the calorie scale. Chocolate slim fast shakes are also good because of their nutritional base, protein, and appetite control.

Another option for you to look into: protein bars. Luna, Balance Bars, Slim fast bars, Clif Bars... all these have an element of sweetness to them that help satisfy my cravings. Some have more calories than others, though, so be sure to read the label and check out how much protein/carbs/fat you're consuming. If you're going to consume 250 calories, at least do so with a lot of protein to help keep you fuller longer.

Hope that helps...

Thanks to you all for your support. I really feel that I have no strenght of will to stop. Options I know but I miss the flavor of sweet in my mouth that I can't help but falling to my weakness. When I eat only a few candies to stop the anxiety, I come back after a few minutes looking for more. When I eliminate food from my house, I can't help buying more at the grocery store when I go to buy bread, It is everywhere and is cheap. I work cooking cupcakes, how can I deny tasting those? May it be a disorder in my blood sugar? Or am I only a spoiled stomach? Gee!

I am in the same boat with you. My family always has sweets in the house. I have asked them to refrain from bringing them home. I also asked that they keep any items I don't wish to see in a single cupboard wich I refrain from going into. Naturally sweet fruits calm my cravings a little. I am new to all of this, but I wish you luck!

Obey, when you are ready to stop eating large portions of sugar which is really damagIng to your body in so many ways, you will.
You can do it if you give yourself a chance. I assume you wrote this thread looking for advice and support. There is plenty of that here but you are the one that has to apply it to your life.
I reiterate-fruit is a wonderful substitution for sugar and there are so many different fruits to enjoy.
I also remember hearing somewhere that if you crave lots of sugar, it may mean that you are not getting enough protein so you could try upping your proteins while deleting sugar and adding fruit. Try fuji apples. They are amazingly sweet and delicious and filling!

Oney, my spell check misspelled your name-sorry.
