Default Long term craving loss

Can I ever expect to be able to tolerate small amounts of sweet tastes without having horrible cravings for more later in the day?

I have really limited my fake sugar or splenda intake, because I have noticed that I crave sweets with very little splenda intake. If I have more than one or two packets of splenda in my coffee in the morning, by 3 p.m. I am desperate for something sweet.

Anyway, it's been three weeks, and yesterday I thought I could have just one cream cheese and sugar mint. That one mint turned into at least 6. And today I'm craving something sweet again.

After a long enough period on this WOE, will I be able to have just one?
