A couple of months ago I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and had to give up my daily intake of chocolate and biscuits. I was eating a rather large amount of Milky Bar. I found the first couple of weeks are definately the hardest and it does take a lot of will power to get through. After that it isn't so bad. Milo is good for helping to get through the sweet craving. You can also get choc mousse desserts next to the yoghurts in the supermarket that are reasonably low in fat. Or a low fat choc ice-cream. Some kids lunch box bars are good - LCM's are quite sweet. Try to buy the little single serve novelty bars rather than a whole block of chocolate - it is more expensive and if there is less sitting around you can't eat as much of it but still have enough to satisfy the craving.

Since I haven't been eating much sweet stuff, I have been eating far more fruit because it is about as close to something sweet as I can get. If you are prone to snacking at night, get some grapes or open a can of fruit salad. I know it isn't the same (and is hard at first) but it doesn't take too long to get used to.

Re-reading my post, I guess I am just suggesting finding slightly less satisfying but healthier alternatives.

Good luck
