I have been doing very well with my diet, and already lost over 6 pounds. However, all day I have had an uncanny craving for lemon squares. I can't stop looking at pictures of them. Something about the tangy soft texture of them is so appealing to me. PLEASE HELP!

    err have one or two then but fit them into your calorie allowance. Eat in moderation, if you need extra then go and exercise.

    Well, not so helpful, but now I'm craving lemon squares too! I'd say if you really want one and can fit it into your calories, buy 1. Just one, or get more but give them away or put them somewhere you can't get at. That way you can fulfill the craving and stay on track :) Unless you're never planning on eating a lemon square again in your life, you don't have to completely cut them out right now either.

    Fit one into your calorie allotment. Go out for a long walk to burn off those extra calories. It's all about finding a balance that works for you.

    This is so weird. I just pulled out a pan out of the oven. I had a fresh lemon and decided to make them just a few hours ago...

    Why not make some of the lower calorie versions?

    I actually crave them too once inawhile. Not the exact same but fiber one makes a 90 calorie snack bar version.

    It's probably best to just have a small portion of one and move on, but if this is a recurring craving you could try those lemon meringue snack pack pudding cups. 120 calories. They're delicious.

    Do you have friends you can hand most of the pan to? I have done this with brownies. I don't want a lower-cal version and I cannot have them in the house.

    I'd say have one of the real thing, but a Fiber One lemon bar might do in a pinch.

    Hmmmm... I just made some today. The hubs really likes them. I don't think I'd ever have a craving for them. I mean, they aren't bad, but I'm a chocoholic. :)

    That's not even close to being a lemon bar.

    For me... When I have any amount of sweets the craving takes over. There's no fitting it in. It blows the day and sometimes the week. Just to be honest. If you are like me (there is no balance with a sugar addiction)... Maybe try a lemon lara bar or lemon pie or lime pie yogurt. Something lemony but on my plan. You don't need it and neither do your friends need a "gift" of a pan of them. Stay with your plan and you'll be fine. Maybe someone has a protein Shake recipe that tastes like a lemon square?

    To others. Enjoy that small bite of treat that fits with in your day. :-)
