The only Tom I ever care to hear about.

This happens to me too - when I do give in and eat something, I usually get stuck in a sweet/salty/sweet/salty rotation.
My best way to combat my cravings is to remove myself from the situation - i.e., I'll go take a walk or a bath or read a book - anything that gets me out of the living room - which is right next to the kitchen and the food.
that sweet/salty back and forth drives me a wee bit batty.
Even so, I am aware I will give in to some temptation for a day or 2 and as long as I don't go hog wild, I just accept it and march on. Reminding myself that the cravings and the omgemptystomachrawr won't last forever helps too :P0 -

Same - carbs, chocolate, even pudding (not a favorite of mine) all disappeared into the cavernous pit of my stomach today. To the tune of 3200 calories ((((0

I always crave chocolate and salty foods. I just buy the single chocolate pudding cups, add a tbsp of peanut butter and eat that, it's an under 200 calorie snack (depending on peanut butter brand and sugar/fat of pudding). I also eat a lot of fruit, berries in a bit of sugar. Water and then logging everything I eat. No matter how much I eat I log it because I have to face the truth if I gain weight.
Have a little snack or two, don't deprive yourself, but don't give into everything. It's mind over matter.:drinker:0 -
You are definitely not alone there! When TOM comes for a visit, suddenly my refrigerator and cupboards contents are no longer safe! I bought a bag of BBQ baked chips this past weekend, and have done well eating only one serving at a time, until today, when I sat down and ravenously devoured the rest of it's contents. Then I sat there ad wondered what the hell-o just happened. Now I want chocolate. Then I will want something salty again, then more chocolate, and the cycle continues....I brushed my teeth and put on my pj's instead, so I am not tempted to run out and buy chocolate! TOM is a vicious S.O.B.!0
