    Today is day 3/21 for me, and I'm pretty confident that it's going to be a good day! :heart:

    My late-night-sugar cravings were already better by last night, and I'm hoping that they will be even better tonight!

    My favorite dessert replacement is cottage cheese with grapes and a few walnuts. Or natural apple sauce and some pineapple. When I am eating clean, it is as good as ice cream!

    I am at day 4 and last night sugar cravings were really bad. Made two baked apples (2 apples sliced, sprayed with cooking spray, and topped with spenda, 2 unpacked tsps of brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg). Totally did the job and I got 2 fruit servings in. Sticking to fruit for my sweet fix so far, which is helping me through.

    Good to know about popcorn. I might have some tonight.

    Everyone doing okay today? So far, my day 3 is pretty good.

    I did have some carb/sugar cravings at lunch, and ate too much wheat bread... but I'm over it, and am moving on!

    oh and yesterday i put cinnamon in my low fat vanilla yogurt and it was like cinnamon bun icing without the bad stuff.. seriously you must try!

    First 2 days for me were "ok" - made it through. HOWEVER, day 3 was a bust! A friend @ work just came back from a trip to Florida and brought back a big box of saltwater taffy. Before I could catch myself, I had already eaten 4 of them! Grrrrrr! Tomorrow, I start again.

    Alright, I'll join.

    Oh, I just lost. Flexible dieting > strict. Proven fact. Learn moderation for your sake.

    this challenge seems like something i need to do! i've been in a slump and think it's because i've let go on some of my eating habits. working in a senior assisted place doesn't help with all the junk food lying around in the residents rooms. I used to have a few pieces of dark chocolate in my purse to keep if i have a craving for junk food and that seemed to work for a week or two. so I am going to keep chocolate (dark kind) in it though to replace when i have a craving for anything else that's bad on the list. and see how this goes! boy the coworkers think i'm crazy giving up dairy and all the "weird" food i eat! haha now they are going to think i'm really weird cutting out junk food! haha

    Day 4 of the challenge and 11 days of pretty clean eating. Things are going well. But I can see on my calendar that it is going to take a turn as my monthly is due. Any suggestions out there?

    Ok, day 4 for me and the cravings are starting to hit me. I'm resolving to stay strong and consciously make healthy choices. What is everyone else doing to battle the cravings?
