Waiting for a craving to pass

I started the day out right with an 8 mile bike ride. Then came home and instead of my 2 eggs and 1 slice of 100% whole wheat toast, I had 2 slices of toast with laughing cow strawberry spread. YUM!!!! However, thus my dilemma!!

I'm working at home today and there is all that stuff out there that my husband takes for his lunch. Oh some of it is put away, out of sight out of mind. However, my mind is SCOURING the house today!!

Since I had TOO many carbs (for me) at breakfast and not enough protein, I am CRAVING more carbs!! I mean, the "watch out if your fingers resemble bread sticks, I might eat them" kind of craving.

I know it will pass.

I went to the kitchen and almost grabbed a packet of pringles honey butter sticks... out of PURE habit!! If you've not had those, do NOT try them!! LOL!!

I turned... walked back to my desk with a full glass of water and another cup of black decaf coffee.

This too shall pass... and it better pass QUICK!!

I can wait it out.. I know I can!!

Ok.. just wanted to be silly and share.. .and also put it out there... I'm less tempted to give in then!

    Be strong - you got this! Chug the water! Sip the coffee. You will come out on the other side unscathed. :wink:

    Chugging the water. 20 oz down. May slow down a bit now... lol It's subsiding. :bigsmile:

    I'm glad others can relate to those cravings. Man, they suck!!! 1/2 the time, I'm usually finishing up whatever I was craving before I realize that I just ate it!!!

    Phew... crisis averted!!

    I'm having horrible cravings lately (mostly due to breastfeeding and feeling like I am starving all day). I recently had to cut out dairy and caffeine and all I want is some chocolate ice cream with a large iced coffee! I figured I would just get on here to distract me from eating the entire kitchen. haha

    LOL!! Totally hear ya about getting on here.

    My cravings have finally completely subsided, for now. Thank God!!

    I really try to evaluate what I want.. how I will feel if I eat it... while and after eating it. Sometimes that works.. and other times my body and brain say.. SO WHAT!!!
