I have a huge addiction to jalapeno chips and want to go in the kitchen and eat them. I was about to get up and decided I would post in here first in hopes it will help me not go there.
I'm gonna fight my craving for the time being, but it wont hold long lol.

What do I do?

I'm not hungry I'm just having a craving, so I don't want to replace it with another food.

    Try chewing some gum. Minty death doesnt mix with chip-y goodness.

    have a chip or two but log it first so you see how it effects your day. I like to read fitness magazines when I want to splurge

    Brush your teeth and exercise. Then don't keep chips in your house.

    Oh that's a good idea. I'm not going to have any chips but logging food before I eat it will be a huge eye opener for me. Thankx ;)

Or, better, I can give you my home address :laugh: - haven't had chips in months and last week I just craved some. Just didn't when I was shopping (I was like: mmm... unhealthy, nonono :noway: , not buying them). Good luck, there!!! :flowerforyou:

    not having them in the house is the best idea, but I find that if I am really craving something then I look at the serving size and decide if I really want it. Then I enter it into my log and adjust the rest of my day and exercise around those extra calories. I think if you are too strict all the time instead of learning to make adjustments, then it will not last a lifetime. Be good most of the time and on occasion give yourself a small splurge so you don't feel deprived.

    Just an advice here, so that you learn from my mistakes. When we went to restaurants, I usually had 1/2 a beer, 1/2 a pizza and so on, and passed on the rest to my hubbs. Needless to say, he's the overweight in the house. Don't ever do that! This is also how my dad gained weight when I was lill - mum used to encourage him to finish up whatever the little me was not able to *giggle*

    On a different register, I have to agree that men sometimes don't think when they say something - they just, sort of ironically and with no feelings, drop lines which they don't even see as being mean to us. Sometimes I just wish my hubby would place himself at least for a few seconds in my shoes!

    Bottom up, we :heart: them to bits, right? :love: :love: :love:

    Chips are my WEAKNESS!! My name is Roni and I am a salt-o-holic....

    What I do is not buy them at all!! That is the only thing that works for me. If they arent here, not gonna eat them:happy: But on occasion someone will slip them into the house, one of the boys will bring some home from school...and they seem to just call me and call me and at those times I will look at the serving size, the nutritional info, and BOOM! Thats enough right there to do it for me. WONT eat them. I think to myself...I have worked soooo hard to get where I am and although I dont want to completely deprive myself of any of my favorites, I ask myself if its really worth it? Is the 5 mins of mogging them down worth all the discipline and hard work I have put in so far? Nope! At least that works for me....:wink:

    If you absolutely have to eat chips then I suggest getting baked lays, esp the bbq ones. They are really yummy and are 120 cals per 14 chips. I also record everything I eat BEFORE I actually eat it, it really helps to know exactly how many cals you can have, and I also leave about 200 after dinner for those late night cravings in which I'll either have a pack of crackers or even some chips. I'm sorry to all those gals with the boyfriend/hubby issues. My fiance and I are actually having a contest to see who can lose the greater percentage of weight and inches before our wedding in June. It helps to have someone on the same page but even more when you want to beat him really bad!!!

    My favorite are the Flat Earth "veggie chips" as my 3yo calls them. They are SO good, still not the best in the calorie & sodium department, but better than Doritos! Tasty! The cheddar ones I have right now are 130 calories for 12 chips. Plus, I can rationalize that I'm eating veggies. LOL
