    I love a good sandwich. So weird - but lots of Miracle Whip, hard cheese, and good deli on a nutty bread. Mmmm!

    . . . and . . . of course . . . ice cream!

    #1 food craving = cheese
    I deal with it by making room for it in my calories. :drinker:

    Greasy, greasy pizza.
    We get it once a month and that helps keep it in check. Now I have two pieces instead of half the pizza. Haha

    there is no one thing... but i do know there are a few, but very few, things i should not buy. like candy in more than a single serving size. or danishes. or fried foods. especially chinese fried foods.

    over time i have moved on from most cravings though, like i used to eat sugar all day and have a horrible sweet tooth and now just a little every once in a while... i didnt have any secret though for getting over the cravings. i just changed my ways long enough that the new way became the normal way.

    i refused to find subsititutes like fake sugar or low fat whatevers because i really wanted to retrain my tastes, not just replace it and not change.

    It's usually chocolate for me, but lately I've been craving soft pretzels and nacho cheese. I love BWW's pretzels and cheese. But, yeah, mostly chocolate.

    Now I want chocolate.

    Pizza.

    I honestly really like the lean cuisine ones- so those help (because I'd honestly eat pizza every day if I could)

    I do the same thing! I love pizza so I stock up on Lean Cuisine pizzas (seriously they are good), and eat those whenever.

    I also tend to want chinese food. I just try not to order it much, to break myself of the habit. I don't fully deny myself though, so when I do get it, I get tofu w/ veggies (home style bean curd), and don't put any of the rice in it. Still high calorie but at least it's a little better.

    I know seriously..... I find that the less candy I eat, the less I crave it. So I try to just not have any. Once I get into the habit of getting those Reeses pumpkins, I get addicted.

    im talking we would buy five bags of chocolate bars, dump them in the cauldron. my husband and i would eat them all in a week and do it again every week until halloween. and we typically got like three trick or treaters. then i would eat my sons candy cause he was too young to eat it all or notice...

    Ice cream! I like skinny cow or no sugar added blue bell. I watch my portions and never deprive myself, or else I will binge.

    You should try blended frozen bananas! Of course, indulge from time to time but it's a nice, healthy way to get some fruit in and it actually tastes like ice cream!!!

    Really bad lately. Can't pass up a slice of chocolate cake with organic ice cream. Shouldn't bring either in the house, I gave no portion control over it.

    Oh dear - yes to the Chinese food. This is a serious soft-spot for me. When we do go (a couple of times a year) I get egg foo yong and soup. I'll eat a small bit of the white rice. Minimal compared to what I'd love to eat which is a huge plate of fried rice with sweet and sour on the side. Ooooo that sweet and sour pork!
