I have a small package of mini M&Ms and I have been savoring them today. I will have one piece, wait a while have another etc. I have one package for the day. If I eat them one at a time, I really enjoy each one.

That's a great idea, Jenn, but I don't know if I can do that personally. I usually portion out whatever I am allowing, and eat it however I want to. I do savor hot beverages of many kinds, though.

I grab the packages at Halloween and Easter candy varieties that are made for giving out small portions. Then I add the info into the database here and allow myself some small treats so I don't deny my like if sweets. Even my doctor liked this idea.

Brilliant!

This way I allow myself "sweets" but I limit myself to 1 package of a treat a day. Most days I don't even eat one, but I know it's there if I want it.

I understand the concept as I do it with shellfish when I have some. Scollaps, lobster and shrimp are my favorite foods so I try to savour every morsel. As an addict of sugar, I do not do so well with savouring. Perhaps my dad's fudge or Brenda's score bars. But that is done to prolong the fact that it will be gone in 3.5 seconds. I also can savour cheesecake. But again - prolonging the addiction. For me, the best decision is to abstain. And that is the best case scenerio. If I have one bite of something I really like in the line of sweets, it is the beginning of the end of that story until I get on the scale the next day.
