    I've tried keeping a bag of chocolate chips in the freezer, but I have no willpower. When TOM comes around, no sweets or bread will go uneaten. So embarrassing, like some evil creature takes over!

    Eeeeeeeexactly. All I have now is unprepared elements to cook healthy food when I'm hungry, and fruit. Otherwise, it all goes in my face lol

    Just want to say, I feel your pain... I ate half a cake over the weekend, so I'm of no help...

    Bahahaha!!! :smiley: no, lol. No you are not! ...but thank you for letting me know I'm not alone. Cheesecake is one of my favorite things in the universe. All of them, I'm not even picky. Especially when they're fried in flaky crispiness and topped with cinamon sugar *swoons*

    ...yaaaaa, you're fired btw

    Have you tried the 100cal chips ahoy snack packs?

    Those are handy, but not if you end up having 3-4 of them. *ahem* There's a reason I don't get those anymore! XD

    OP: do you live near a gas station? As in, near enough to walk to? Keeping trigger foods out of the house is a good idea, but if you really REALLY want something, walk to the nearest gas station and get a small pack of what you're craving, walk home with it, and eat it at home. You add a little bit of exercise and still get to eat something you really want without going overboard. That's what I do with chips. Granted, the small bag is more like 2 servings, but it's a lot better than opening up a big bag and finishing over 12 servings!!

    TRUE!!! I don't intend on cheating, but at least if I got to that point, it's not as bad as it could be. I'm still on week1 looking at the rest of the season like o_O "winter is coming..."

    What kind of dessert? Seriously, in my experience, eat exactly what you crave, otherwise you'll end up eating it anyway and you'll have 'wasted' calories on non satisfying things while trying to get rid of your craving (and no, it usually doesn't work).

    Like I may have eaten a chocolate chip nut bar today when I REALLY wanted chocolate, and ended up eating the nut bar, plus chocolate, and a few chocolate Oreos. At least it got rid of the craving though... Funny I guess because it's the first time in years that I'm actually craving chocolate on my period! But yeah... for me I'll always end up eating more calories if I try to ignore a craving than if I just gave in in the first place - guaranteed.

    So always ask yourself 'what do I really want now?' (that works when you don't have your period too).

    I WANT SAMOAS!!!!!!!! I could easily justify hijacking a Brownie Scout in my sick little head and not even flinch right now. I'm like teenage werewolf afraid to leave the house cuz the struggle is so real. Lol... I might be over exaggerating, but only a smidge.

    Coconut, chocolate, caramel, cookie. Remember Angelica Pickles? Now I understand why she wad so mean.

    Tea is good. Also jello and sugar-free apple cider (40 calories and 15 calories, respectively). I don't get the mega-chocolate munchies, though, just the sweet cravings. :)

    Ohhhhh heck ya! Girl, you're speaking my language! Thank you.

    In all honesty, I sometimes take a magnesium supplement. I'm not always super diligent, but when I am, I find that my sweet cravings are not nearly as intense... You might want to have your magnesium levels checked...
