A short pause, not a battle

Cravings can feel different for everyone. Quit Sweet offers a brief pause-and-reflect flow that may help you make a more intentional choice — and a way to record what happened either way.

The basics

What is a craving log?

A craving log is a record that you wanted something sweet — whether or not you ate anything. That second part matters: a craving you rode out is still information worth keeping.

  • Intensity

    A 1–5 rating, from very light to very strong.

  • Trigger

    Optional: stress, boredom, after meals, social events, late night, work breaks, seeing sweets, or your own.

  • Time of day

    Recorded automatically, which is what makes the pattern view possible later.

  • Outcome

    The craving passed, you ate something sweet, or you are not sure yet.

  • Note

    Optional free text, up to 500 characters, for anything worth remembering.

Step by step

The five-step pause

You can leave at any point, and skipping a step does not invalidate the log. The aim is a few moments of distance, not a test to pass.

  1. Rate the craving

    Choose how strong it feels, from very light to very strong. You can optionally note what prompted it — stress, boredom, after meals, late night and more. There is no wrong answer.

  2. Pause and breathe

    A short guided breathing pause with inhale, hold and exhale phases, and an optional tap when the phase changes. It is a short pause, not treatment, and you can skip it whenever you want.

  3. Delay the decision

    Give yourself three, five or ten minutes before deciding. A short delay can create space to choose. You can finish early at any time.

  4. Choose another action

    Pick one small thing that feels manageable right now — drink water, take a short walk, change your location, message someone, keep breathing, or add your own action.

  5. Record what happened

    Note whether the craving passed, whether you ate something sweet, or that you are not sure yet. Every option keeps your previous progress and history.

Afterwards

How patterns show up later

One craving log tells you very little. Twenty of them start to show shape.

Every craving you record carries a time and, if you added one, a trigger. The Progress tab groups those into morning, afternoon, evening and night, so a late-night pattern becomes something you can see rather than something you suspect.

Triggers work the same way. If most of your logs are tagged with stress, that is a different problem from most of them being tagged after meals — and it suggests a different response.

Outcomes matter too. Recording that a craving passed builds an honest picture over time, and the app treats “I ate something sweet” as ordinary data rather than a failure. Nothing here is judged, and nothing is deleted.

What this is, and what it is not

Quit Sweet is a habit-tracking and motivational tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and the craving flow is not therapy or a clinical intervention.

A breathing exercise and a short delay are simple, ordinary self-management techniques. They may help you pause; they are not promised to remove a craving. If cravings are affecting your health or daily life, please speak with a qualified healthcare professional.
