    For the past few days, to battle craving I have incorporated more protein and fat into my diet, sounds crazy but it works!

    I allow myself to have a bite or a portion with the promise that I will workout EXTRA.

    Some really good answers here :)
    I agree that it's a dangerous thing to make certain things 'forbidden', because they get more attractive then!
    Over time my taste for different foods has changed. I've tried to substitute almonds and other nuts/seeds for crisps, which were my biggest downfall and still tempt me. If I really want crisps though, I wouldn't beat myself up about it though, just make sure it's not every day and I stop at one packet!
    I agree about the water too, drinking lots of water makes me feel full.
    Weigh it up in your mind, why are you craving something, is it because you love the taste, or is it emotional or for another reason.
    Try going out for a run or exercising for half an hour first, I find it often suppress my appetite, and besides that having walked away from the cupboard/fridge for even 30 minutes can help your perspective. Just don't build it up so much that you have 10 biscuits instead of the one you originally wanted!

    I don't. I don't buy junk food though but if someone else has and I want some, I eat it. simple. I weigh it and track it.

    there is no need to deprive yourself of something you enjoy. depriving yourself of food you enjoy can lead to you binging and feeling ****.

    eating it in small quantities with good food won't make you feel terrible.

    edit: remember - "I want that, but I can't have it vs I can have that, but I don't want it"
