After work, I bought some marmalade for my mom, and on a whim, I also got myself a "Kis-Kis" caramel. I love this kind of caramel – it's chewy, sticks to everything, you can't really chew it, and you'll probably pull out all your fillings. But before you chew it, you need to hold it in your mouth for a bit to warm it up; otherwise, it's a good alternative to chewing gum and chewy marmalade.
In general, I'm trying to eat less sugar and not on an empty stomach. Ideally, as I was told, the best sweet treat in this regard is fatty ice cream; the fat slows down the absorption of sugar, and the sugar rush won't be as intense. And I've entered a phase where I prefer cheaper ice cream with artificial ingredients over really delicious premium ice cream because THERE ARE FEWER CALORIES. At the same time, I eat it in completely indecent portions; what can you do, you can't have too much of a good thing, and I'm managing to stay within my diet. Sometimes, you can tell that they skimped on the good stuff and filled it with water, but sometimes you find a pretty decent product.
And I also tried some very tasty marshmallows, a vanilla-banana assortment, with Minions from "Despicable Me" on the package. It's really great; I generally love marshmallows, and I keep a bag in the kitchen to throw into my sugar-free cocoa.
And I have a really lousy job. Periodically, my boss asks me to check out what the competitors are up to, and I spend half the day drooling as I look at their products. The only thing that saves me is that half of the competitors' products simply don't reach us or are sold in one or two random stores that are hard to find.
No, it's very difficult for me to give up sweets. I often crave something tasty while playing Skyrim or watching a series, and I only consider snacks and sweets to be truly tasty (and not even all of them). And I have absolutely no willpower (sniffles, life is pain, Kosha is a chubby glutton).
