    Hi :)

    The first place I go when I want food (when I don't need it) is to the message boards.

    Welcome to MFP.

    Its ok to have a bit. I like the mini bluebell ice cream sandwiches. Only 90-100 calories each, and they're real, not low-fat or sugar free anything:)

    Just sent you an add!

    What worked for me tonight, was a protein smoothie. My BF has been having them for weeks, so I decided i should get in on it.

    Mine tonight was 1 cup almond milk (60 cals), 1 cup peaches and raspberries (60-100ish), 1/2 cup water, 1 scoop BSN lean dessert protein whipped vanilla (150 cals) it made a ton and i happened to eat it all tonight, but it does freeze okay which i did earlier this week. so really like 16+oz for ~350 cals, pretty awesome.

    As a trainer, I let my clients know it's okay to have AS LONG as it's accounted for in calorie count. If not, then they better go do some extra exercise.

    I've found a really yummy low-cal frozen yogurt that quells my cravings for ice cream. The brand is 'Eating Right' and the flavor is: Black Cherry Chocolate Chip Low Fat Frozen Yogurt, only 90 cals for 1/2cup. I eat it slow and with small bites to savor the taste. It's delicious. :-)

    I always make sure that my food log is up to date before I let myself give in to cravings like that. I also make certain to plan out a workout that will take care of that craving. When I decide that it is worth all of the extra effort I go ahead and enjoy that sweet treat.
