Question for the ladies

i certainly do crave the things that u have listed in ur question. how i deal with them is quite easy it has worked for me the last two days. i excercise a little to distract me. i always keep active around the house and i always snack on apples which fill me right up and take the craving for such foods away. if the craving is so extreme i eat only a few pieces of whatever i am cravin for then wait a few minutes to see if it passes (it usually does) if it doesnt i tend to give in unfortunately. just think about ur inspirations of loosin weight and that should help with the cravings. just opt for healthy snacks instead of giving in to cravings i know its easier said than done.

good luck :flowerforyou:

Once you start eating healthy the cravings getting less. my opinion.

I feel your pain! I crave carbs....crunchy stuff like chips. I'm not much on sweets but during that time of the month I want them also. What I do is keep some York Peppermint Patties around and allow myself to eat one. I eat if very slowly and enjoy it! I've also found that the mini 3 Muskateers Dark Chocolate Mint candy bars (fun-size) work great for this also. I only eat one! Usually after that, the craving passes. It isn't good to deprive ourselves of something we crave because it usually makes us want it more and then we usually will overdo it. It's ok to treat yourself once in awhile, just try not to lose control. Drink plenty of water and make yourself some hot tea to calm your nerves. You aren't alone....you can get through this!

man! do I ever so I allow myself to to have one of my break days be around the time of the month which helps the rest of the time I try to pick healthier alternatives to what I am craving. you can't deprive yourself that will only make it worse, just have to try figure out how you can make the things you crave healthier and sometimes when I do that I end up craving the healthy thing instead of the really bad stuff.
