    I Agree - EAT IT!

    I have horrible munchies right now and I'm trying to control them, but sometimes you just gotta go for it (one sundae cone and bag of Sun Chips later)! Depriving yourself of something that you really want will just push you to give up later.

    So go get a cupcake, call your spouse over, have him remove his shirt and have him lay down, break the cupcake into pieces on his chest, and enjoy. Ask him how your moodiness is doing now ? :) You may even burn a few extra calories with that cupcake. You both will NEVER look at cupcakes the same way ever again. Damn, I have a cupcake craving now.

    Eat your cupcake! You have to or you'll go nuts. I try to tell people ... just plan for it! You can make room for those calories in almost any given day, the key is to not do it all the time. So go for it, enjoy, and then let us know how great you feel about yourself when you've had your NSV of planning and then getting right back into "diet" (hate that word) mode. And remember ... "make it chocolate to make it count." :laugh:

    My husband will thank you for this advice. Seriously. Whoohooo!!!!

    Eat it! You're not going to gain all of your weight back over 1 cupcake. It's a cupcake a day that becomes a problem.

    Eat one. Be done. Suffer the consequences if any. Move on.

    What about everything in moderation? Why make yourself miserable?

    Just eat it. It wont kill you.

    Diets shouldn't last too long. They should end in being your life change decision. 1 cuppycake wont ruin all the work you've done.

    If you crave something it is easier to have some in moderation, and the sooner you look at it as a life change instead of a diet the better.As long as it is a diet, you will go off of it eventuallyand old habits may come back.If you look at it as a life change andhave treats now in then, it will work itself out and you will feel better in the end. Your doing wonderful!

    I always say "those cupcakes won't taste as good as what skinny will feel like someday." >:O)

    I'm definitely in the "eat it off my husband's chest" cupcake camp. However, as a binger who cannot stop at one, I have to watch it. Today I discovered something that may help me with those sweets cravings. I have been having trouble getting enough water down lately (new problem, don't know why). So I bought one of those tubes of Mio water flavouring. (Chemicals, I know, but just a tiny bit now and then, and I need the water). Anyway, today was my first time, and since it's sweet, it totally destroyed my craving for anything, sweets or otherwise. I even managed to have just one smokie at our payday lunch. (And I was prepared to exercise for two!) This might be worth a try.
