What do you eat when you want something unhealthy to eat but aren't going to give in?

I have had a TERRIBLE sweet tooth all day, and instead I've been eating crazy amounts of vegetables and drinking water.

After dinner I wanted ice cream... So instead I had half a small baked potato with chives, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and a dab of ranch.

(Dinner was really good- homemade crab cakes covered in fresh vegetables)

Greek yogurt with fruit. Usually Chobani pineapple. Feels like cheating but it's not.

I whip up some egg whites and add some cinnamon. I then cook them in a frying pan with PAM. I heat up some berries in the microwave. When the eggs are done, I roll the berries in the egg white and wrap it like a crepe.

I don't deny myself. I know if I do, I'll give in later and it will not be pretty. Better to get it over and be able to eat a reasonable bit then try to satiate that sweet with other things then eventually go to and gorge on what I wanted in the first place

I drink water.

It's ok to give in to cravings as long as it's not a spur of the moment thing.

PB&J or pb and honey sandwich if I want something sweet. I also have frozen fruit in the freezer that I mix with some heavy cream and a little sugar to make instant ice cream. I use strawberries, mangos and peaches. I'll also add some vanilla extract or almond extract for extra flavor.

I'm still probably going to have ice cream at some point, but I'm trying not to.
