How often do you eat a treat/sweet?

Years ago it was 3 to 4 days a week for me. For the past couple years, I've done just twice a week. That helped me lose twenty pounds, but also minimizing total calories in the day too. Occasionally I 'll cheat and have three treats a week. If I"m walking that day especially. ( a Treat meaning like, two cookies, or a brownie, or a dish of ice cream).
I remember this older man in a Dunkin donuts once, before COVID began. I was ordering a drink and he turned around, and said,"Aren't you going to get a donut? "I replied, "Not today." He said, "Oh, I get one everyday.' He was in relatively good shape too. How often do you have a sweet ?

Once a week I like to get a Diet Coke and a pack of those multicoloured Mentos but not on the same day. Call me crazy but Wednesday is my Diet Coke day and Sunday is my Mentos day.😂

@Jenny1234 A diet Coke though is not really bad for you ... it is calorie free. you don't allow yourself a cookie here or there or an ice cream?

@Baybreeze no I don’t.

The problem is if I have one cookie, I have to have the whole box so I just don’t buy them. or if I do buy them they have to be a flavour I won’t eat.
I don’t really like ice cream

@Jenny1234 One treat I never feel guilty over is dark chocolate, I have about two squares a week, and my doctor told me to eat it when I was anemic years ago. She said it has iron in it! Plus it has as much antioxidants as blueberries. So that's a nice treat option that is more natural.

@Baybreeze dark chocolate is good for you! Chocolate is something I never gravitate towards. It’s really not even on my radar.
