I joined the Tame Your Sweet Tooth challenge on Spark People, but it would have been better timing for the challenge to start a week or two ago as I had already taken it on myself to do something like this, using Lent as a motivator. I have been doing quite well. I am only really having sweets/desserts if we travel someplace special, e.g. our Chicago weekend. I don't intend to pass up the special treats I may have only one chance to try. I expect to try some fun stuff in Jamaica on vacation also, but hopefully in moderation. I'm actually more looking forward to the fruits and fresh fish.
I had been eating a small sweet treat several times a day which is likely a major factor in why I can't get the weight loss thing going again in spite of stepping up the intensity of many of my workouts. In the past when I have successfully lost weight, sweets had to take a backseat as an extremely occasional treat instead of a daily indulgence even if they are factored into my calories for the day.
