    At least she gave an alternate suggestion. Your suggestions seem to advise avoiding all the foods , which imo seems an unhealthy approach mentally.

    Thank you all for replying :)
    The urge to eat is pretty much gone and I was able to have a treat in moderation. I managed to prelog it, eat it away from the kitchen, and then go out to do something else. Incredibly it worked! Yesterday I did almost slip up and binge, but I drank a cold bottle of water with ice and lemon instead, and I stopped in time. I feel so proud of myself right now, I could get used to this, lol.
    Hope you all guys have a great week! :smiley:

    One can of pumpkin plus one box of sugar-free devil's food cake mix. Mix it up and put it in muffin tins. Bake for about 25 minutes. That's one way I get my chocolate fix without going over my calories. Now that I'm on maintenance, I add some walnuts as well. Two out of those three ingredients are extremely nutritious.

    This sounds good! And I get some veggies into the kids this way too. Do you know the calories for this?

    Sometimes you cannot resist. Go to the bakery buy that cake and then have a slice every night for a few days. You will find yourself getting sick of it by the third day then throw it away and get back on track. Or wait till the next birthday party you go to and have a slice of that birthday cake. I have those cravings too. But if you get the correct amount of nutrients you need each day, the cravings will go away. Look at what your eating for the week and try to stick to the right amount of each carbs, protein, fat, fiber and vitamins. I feel your pain. smile:

    Cravings are actually your body asking for specific things, here's a link:
    http://www.care2.com/greenliving/what-your-cravings-mean.html

    Sugar actually IS addictive:
    http://authoritynutrition.com/how-sugar-makes-you-addicted/
    Junk food has a lot of "hidden in plain sight" sugars, you may think it's not sweet therefore not sugary, but they add all sorts of things to make food "tastier".

    Sometimes what you really need is water, not food:
    http://www.livestrong.com/article/510463-how-body-mistakes-hunger-for-thirst/
    So drink 2-3 glasses of water, before giving in to cravings.

    In my case I don't keep trigger foods in the house. When I went on a low-carb diet I took absolutely everything that had sugar and carbs, put it into a box and donated it.

    Seriously... flagged three times for sharing my opinion and sharing some links? People seem trigger happy.

    The self-control thing gets easier. Cut the junk food out completely and in a few weeks, you won't even miss it.

    Some people can have little bits, but if you don't want the temptation, just stop eating it. It really does get easier. You'll get to a point where you can see other people do it and not join in. :)
    That's me...but, just one bite, and KATY BAR THE DOOR!
    Yup! Cake is my downfall.

    Someone flagged that post. I have no idea why. I meant no harm to anyone.

    Maybe it was more for sugar fear mongering.

    Now you're just stalking me on all previous posts?

    It's not sugar fear-mongering. It's an opinion, she can choose not to follow it...
