lizzardbits - something else to consider: sugar free hard candies. I picked up some of the cream savers sugar free for an occassional sweet treat or something to pop in my mouth when no other forms of resistence are working. Or sugar-free jello, I've been eating it for so many years it tastes "normal" to me. Or carrots... or apples... there are a lot of good for you, crunchy or sweet snacks you just need to seek them out.

But... at least you have identified a solution to your problem... good luck!
