Would you have the willpower?

[Amy10223]

I must have done too much today... because I just awoke from a nap. And suddenly I had a craving for something sweet, like a chocolate donut or a slice of chocolate cake. So I'm looking at Doordash at places that deliver sweets... and then look at the price it would cost me to have some cookies (Cookie Crumbles or Amy's Donuts) delivered. I could also go to the Walmart by me to get something sweet. But no... instead, I heated up one of those pita breads that look like nam in the oven, it smelled great, then added some heated cream cheese and raspberry jalapeño jelly on it. It was great. I also added two small Macintosh apples into the oven to have with some cinnamon.

What would you have done to satisfy the sweet tooth?

[AviatorTom]

I had bought some cherry fritters at the local Kroger. Interestingly, I just finished eating one... to satisfy my sweet tooth.

Your solution is much more creative. 👍⭐😀

[Amy10223]

I might have been more creative but your fritter sounds great. There was a blueberry fritter on the order list for Amy's Donuts.

I'm lucky, I live where there are fields and moorland, I heard an older man say one time when he wated to give up smoking, just go for a bike ride or walk, I have followed that advice and stood me in good stead

[Bethany22]

Depends how much groceries I have. Usually the best I can do is tea with cream and sugar

[Amy10223]

Thats what I always try and do... tea if I am craving anything.

No diabetes or cholesterol problem than I would have a mouth full of Amy...

[Amy10223]

That's very good and you have much willpower, sir!! I have borderline diabetes and do intermittent fasting most days during the week. It happens that I need to stay away from sugar, in order not to have cravings. Those caramels in my pantry have done me in.

[Guy13]

Oh my. I have no clue?

[Amy10223]

About what? Intermittent fasting? It's really great.

[Guy13]

I am trying to begin that fasting too. I took a little stool mover/cleaner and began fasting two weeks ago. 56th hour I ate again. 10/15 is my next date to try it again. Water really don’t do much but make me bloat snd pee lots 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Amy10223]

I've never done more than 26 hours. The first time I did I accidentally went for 26 hrs instead of 24. Nowadays I can only do about 22 hours. But normally, only 16 or 17 hours. It Really does help me lose the sugar levels and also my memory. I have been slacking off lately! I usually dont have breakfast but these days I do... just not cereals though.

[Guy13]

Gotcha. Sugar is the most addictive narcotic of them all…. I am having to eliminate ose, ase, and one other form of sugar from my diet. Any clue there⁉️ Probiotics are not happening. Hardly any fruits for me….

[Amy10223]

I love MacIntosh apples. If you want to give up suagr totally, give it uop for a week and you'll find you won't crave it any more. Chromium also helps.

[SnowedIn]

I would have baked brownies and had a fresh one with a can of Coke.

[Amy10223]

I was all out of chocolate! I thought the same. But I'd have that with milk, not coke! Too sweet, lol

[Iron_Man]

I just go to the store and buy myself some Häagen-Dazs ice cream if I’m in the mood

[dreamstar72]

A Reese’s peanut butter cup

[Jennz6]

I would give in and eat ice cream.
