Do you have a pudding every night?

Exactly my question. I'm so used to having a pudding, no matter how small, every night. If we don't have one it feels like the meal is not complete.
As I'm overweight it needs to stop. Need to save some money too. I have a wardrobe full of nice clothes that don't fit.
If you do have a pudding & still keep the calories down what do you have? Fruit salad is the obvious choice, but you get fed up of it after a while.

No but I wish I could, love puds but really don't need to add to my calorie intake 😭

I never used to until pregnant. Now I often do. I'm also overweight and it needs to stop. Kids are 6 & 4!

I loveeee 0% fat Greek yoghurt, half a punnet of strawberries, and a brunch bar crumbled up over the top (or to be decadent, melting a few squares of Lindt and drizzling over....) 😋

To be fair it's what I have for breakfast, as I don't have dessert regularly. But if I'm craving something I have this!

I leave it an hour to see if I’m actually full. Frozen berries and a nice lemon yogurt or baked grapefruit sorinlkled with ginger is my go-to healthier option Sometimes just a chunk of chocolate or a handful of gums hits the spot.

I only have a pudding on special occasions and that's the same with most people I know.
Fresh fruit salad sounds a great alternative, all the best with your weight loss journey

I agree with this. I’d only have it as a treat. And also what PP said about habit. Try drinking water (or even a nice cordial - I’ve been doing dry Jan and really enjoying ‘Bottle Green’ elderflower and pomegranate cordial-so delicious, even if you have it really weak 😋) as a way of ‘filling up’ a bit more with your meal.
And yes, if you’re going to struggle with cutting out puds straight away, try having a bit of fruit afterwards, even a fruit salad which would last a few days and feel more special.
wish you all the best! I’m making some changes with my health at the moment and it feels really good once you get a bit of momentum 👍

I do keto and I have 5 or 6 frozen raspberries or strawberries after dinner with a cup of tea. It sounds a bit weird, but they are quite delicious to suck on and they satisfy that dessert craving for me.

Rarely, a few times a year perhaps although DD does always

Full fat Greek yoghurt with fill you up. Tbh I have some chewing gum after my dinner sometimes if I feel like snacking (when I don’t need it) and it works pretty well!

oh yes, even if just a penguin.

Very rarely - I have a salt tooth not a sweet tooth. DD always asks though.

I’m also overweight though! Too much cheese and crisps.

No I don’t. But then I don’t really have a Sweet tooth.

Honestly it’s a habit. It is possible to break it.
