I want junk food so bad right now. I was going to go grocery shopping tonight but not with this craving. I don't know what my issue is. I usally do ok. I even let myself have some strawberries with light whipped cream, needless to say I finished off the can. :noway: . luckly it was alreay 2/3rds gone.
I still want more junk food. Help. How do you fight cravings. i am not going to let myself eat anymore but I really want to.

Bite a pickle - a dill pickle. Not a flavor that really goes well with sugar. It helps me. Good luck, you can get past the craving!

I love pickles too. I might do that. Thanks

obliged

chew gum, it helps
it gives you your sugar hit, as well as flavour and very little calories
apparently the action of chewing creates the feeling of feeling full thats why we're supposed to chew our food at least 20 times

Sometimes just brushing your teeth helps.

Picture the weight you want to be at when your cravings hit.

Scream in your mind "STOP" and picture a big red stop sign, when your cravings are trying to take over your thoughts. Then immediatly think about your goal. Keep doing this and your mind will start to change the way it thinks. Either that or your mind will come up with a different way to make it crave. lol

try recipes that wont neccesarily hurt you, just keep the serving size correct and mark in in your calories intake. A favorite at my house is non-fat, sugar-free pudding made with skim milk and topped with fat-free non-dairy whipped topping and the"berry" of your choice.

I love the jello cheesecake flavor with rasberries. Mind you there is no real nutritional value here (some protien from the milk n some vitamins from the berries) but it may just save you from jumping into a bag of m n' m's!!!!

I say go with low calorie sweets. If you crave chocolate, eat pudding. Not a lot of calories and gives you the chocolate you want. Jello has a lot of really good low calorie puddings that are awesome!

Hi my name is ____________ and I am addicted to sugar.

For anyone who has had other addictions that was purely a joke - because it can seem THAT bad. I am into my 5th day with no sugar and no artificial sweeteners. For me that is the route that I have to take - I can NOT eat sugar in moderation - so once I get out of the habit it is easier. My most successful stint with no sugar was 7 months.

For others moderation may be the key - but not for me.

I'm with ya sister.

I did not even think of gum as having calories, I never record gum :sad:
