Hunger and cravings

How do y’all deal with the insane hunger and cravings that come with breastfeeding?? I have never had a sweet tooth per se, but now I literally HAVE to have something sweet every night and I feel like a bottomless pit all of the time... I have gained 5 lbs. since having my baby 😭 I KNOWWWW I need to have more self control but I just don’t right now 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️
