I'm the kind of person who, if I'm having sweets cravings, I can't have a little bit of what I want because then I'll go overboard (it happens EVERY TIME, so I'm not doing it anymore).
I can eat sweet things, just not any sweet thing because it'll trigger me to overeat.
One of my favs right now is a creamsicle-style dessert. It's super easy and low in calories.
1 package sugar free orange jello (20 cals) (my fav is orange!)
2 cups light cool whip (320 cals)
Empty the jello packet into a bowl. Pour on 1/2 cup boiling water and mix for 2 minutes until totally dissolved. Then add 1 cup cold water. Refrigerate for ~45 minutes or until kind of set but still mixable. Add the cool whip and mix well until well blended. Refrigerate again for at least 3 hours (the longer it goes, the more it sets). Slice and serve.
Make it kind of a bigger bowl. This recipe makes enough dessert to fill an 8 oz whipped topping container.
The whole thing is 340 calories, and I usually slice it into 4ths and eat a piece for 85 cals. It's sweet and creamy and delicious.
