hi all. Well i was doing really well then i've got my cravings back for bad stuff. Just had a bowl of alpen after steping on wii fit and being told i've gained 2lbs in 2 days!! Hopefully going on holiday late july so need to sort it out before then so i can pig out then :laugh:

How do you beat your cravings for sweet stuff and especially when your down as i am today...sad times :cry:

Im looking to eat about 1350kcal a day.

Thanks:flowerforyou:

    Hello! To curb my cravings for sweet things i always have the chocolate or caramel snack-a-jacks in the cupboard, they really help me! Also i'll sometmes have a couple of those Mikado chocolates with a cup of tea, get my chocolate fix while the tea fills me up!:smile:

    It's sheer will power which is really really hard. The best way for me is to banish all crappy foods from the house, I don't even buy biscuits, crisps or chocolates cause the temptation is then already there and if I REALLY want some chocolate I have to walk to the shop for it.

    I'l often try instead a bowl of strawberries with yoghurt, honey and nuts, it still gives you that sweet kick but without all the fat. I'm also a fan of savoury so I'll snack on Ryvita with small puts of low fat soft cheese.

    I don't think the bowl of alpen is such a bad thing as long as you are exercising enough. I have a bowl of porridge (oatsosimple) in the morning and eat fairly well during the day but have managed to still stay within the calories (1270). When I crave something sweet I have fruit. I am a chocolate addict so know where you are coming from!
