Right now I'm totally craving chocolate. Those stupid Valentine's Day commercials talking about chocolate and everything. On top of that a nice huge piece of cake sounds wonderful! Not to mention my mouth is watering thinking about a huge Sundae covered in all the marvelous toppings that could go on top.... So.... I think my TOM is coming... but I don't know what to do to get over these cravings. It's been 5 weeks and going strong. I have been real good not depriving myself of things, but right now I just want any and everything sweet... What should I do? How do you ignore cravings?

    Instead of trying to avoid the craving, have you tried feeding it in a controlled manner? I've found if I get a good quality brand instead of the cheap stuff, I can eat a serving or less and be satisfied.

    If your willpower won't work with that, try splurging on something healthy. Fresh strawberries seem to be on sale right now.

    This, absolutely. Completely cutting out foods you love is a recipe for failure. It's all about moderation!

    when I grave sweets I usually drink tea with a splenda, Best of Luck. Also it helps to keep a picture of yourself at your biggest weight God's Blessings.
