    Don't think about what your body wants, think about what it needs. maybe that will help.:smile:

    Gum sometimes helps. It is sweet, but low calorie if you get the right stuff. Trident has that natural sweetener that is good for your teeth and is low calorie.

    any chance you can get up from your desk for about five minutes and just walk around? or sometimes, because I too have a desk job and a radio nearby, try and find an upbeat song that lifts my mood a little and makes the food not so important.

    Ewww, I had that problem this week too. I bought a huge bag of those toffees the black licorice flavoroured, rum flavoured, and mint, I swear I had a handful a day.... or more, Finally my husband took a bunch to work with him because when I went to get some today they were gone!!!

    I wish I had read your post before I gave in to my chocolate craving this morning! This behavior is rare now...most of the time I stick to my guns...hope that spitting it out to your MFPs is enough to help you resist the temptation!

    aw I think I speak for a lot of us when I say I know how you feel. whenever I have a craving like that, I try try try to think about 1)what my goals are [losing weight] and 2)how I'm going to achieve them [not by eating candy] and then I think about whether it's worth it to me or not.... which sometimes it definitely is. grapes are a great alternative though, I agree! anyway, it sounds like you're going to be fine. I hope the rest of your day goes well!
