person A: I snuck some candy out of my daughter's snack stash. I feel bad because I had been trying to diet.
person B: I understand that feeling. I've had trouble letting go of those kind of cravings too. Has your diet been going well otherwise?
person A: Otherwise it's been pretty good- I've managed to lose 12 pounds! Just wish I could let the sugar cravings go.
person B: Wow_comma_ congratulations! Sugar is one of the hardest things to kick_comma_ I don't have the knack for it either_comma_ but still you're making great progress!
