    Just eat it in moderation! :) Better than binging!

    But at the moment, I have a major craving for anything and everything that I CANNOT eat - chocolate, ice cream, cakes etc


    Why can't you eat it? It is not like you are going to get fat from 2 or 3 pieces of chocolate or a 1/2 cup of ice cream or a slice of cake

    I keep Nathans horseradish pickles in the house for the salty, minimal calories per serving and I keep dark chocolate chips for the chocolate craving but I can put a hurting on the office candy dish. Thankfully they are minis and I try to stick to 3 musketeers.

    I have this issue and I don't deal with it well! I had cheesy chips two nights ago and dominos pizza last night. So far today I've been ok but now I'm craving chocolate... I really don't want ruin 3 days of eating!

    Your body is probably craving that stuff for a reason. Your hormones throw everything out of whack and your body wants to normalize. Just eat the chocolate.

    I'll crave weird things like one time I was just eating granola cereal out of the box and another time I ate a whole loaf of bread lol

    Just eat the chocolate.

    This is good advice for anybody at anytime.

    For me it's Pringles!

    I think it really depends on you. Some people are able to control themselves to say I'm going to eat only X and will eat only that much.

    But I'm the kind of person that if I get a taste of one chip, it'll just remind me how delicious it is and I'll end up eating the whole package. So I just drink water. And I find that the less I eat something the less I crave for it.

    That is NOT to say it's the right way to do things!!! Only that it works for me :)

    PS the ridiculous whole hershey's bar from 2 days ago is a living example of my lack of self control
