Help!! I can't stop my sugar cravings?

[AnHonestOpinion]

So I know it all comes down to self-discipline and self-control, but the weird thing is I am fine all day long - I actually eat pretty well I think - and can completely control myself when it comes to the sweet stuff. But as soon as I hit the 9 - 10pm mark I just lose all sense and crave anything sweet or sugary like some kind of crazy person.

I have managed to keep most sugary things out of my cupboards but I just end up eating something really weird that I make just for the sugar - even if thats just pure sugar and water heated to a syrup!!! I feel like crap at the end of it all and I really just need to get this under control. Any advice?

I get into what I call candy binges. I won't have a taste for sweets, but if I have a sweet then it seeds a major spike in my desire for sweets. I usually finish off these binges by focusing on bitter flavors for a while - black coffee, leafy greens without dressing; in addition, eating to fullness on beans and vegetables should cut your appetite for a quick sugar rush.

If you do find yourself getting sweets, pass them off to a friend before you eat them yourself.

Keep yourself moving often - I find my biggest binges occur when I am at my most sedentary.
