My doctor strictly recommends “No sweets”
I rebel with a small bit of chocolate sometimes
It’s true I don’t need more sweets when I have
More than enough in my previous life to last
Me for the rest of my life if I stay on course
But what’s life without a bit of sweetness
Now and then!

A bit of sweet is balance not cheating. It’s the yin yang of life (my opinion). Those things one is told not to eat become what one craves sometimes. And cravings is a whole other kind of bondage (my opinion!)

It is very hard to do not having anything sweet at all. I try, but sometimes I just have to have something, like chocolate! 🙂

All diets should be flexible enough to allow a treat or too.
Like you have told me in the past, a tiny portion of dessert is around a 100 calories. It can satisfy your cravings without blowing your diet.

My husband and I have both been told we shouldn’t indulge much, but where’s the fun in that?!? I agree that moderation satisfies that tug for something sweet, and is meant to be enjoyed!

I totally understand. I’m supposed to be on a diabetic diet because I have PCOS but I can’t live without sugar. I hope I can make the switch to dark chocolate and do without sugar one day, though.
LikeLiked by 1 person
I hope you can. White sugar is a totally useless additive to food. Honey or unprocessed brown sugar is better.

Oh yes, I will try to replace it with honey. Thank you for the tip.

I have found if I completely cut out chocolate I over indulge greatly when I do get it…. better a little occasionally that a big purge eventually.
