The Sweet Tooth Monster!

Anyone else having serious issues with their sweet tooth? I am having such a hard time not diving into that left over Halloween candy or picking up a little sweet treat in the grocery store. I am doing a lot better and give myself some credit for eliminating Christmas cookies, but with the holidays coming again I am wondering how to battle this sweet tooth monster. Any suggestions? I feel like my body has gotten so used to eating sugar all the time it's almost like a craving and I feel like I am going through withdrawal without it. Kind of sad to think all these years I have been basically addicted to sugar. Oye, what to do?
