I woke up this morning with a sugar crave..i ate my bowl of special K like i usually do..then ate SIX cookies..damn it! :( So thats it for me today..but i still want more sugar..ice cream, cookies, KEY LIME PIE! lol...I hate feeling like this...I've been drinking water to get my mind off of it..then took a shower to try and forget about it..nothings working..brushed my teeth twice..i know i sound crazy. For lunch i had a apple and strawberries thinking that would take care of my sugar crave..but didn't work..ahhh im just venting..anyone have any other ideas??

    I hate sugar cravings! You could try gum. I chew some kind of fruity sugar free gum sometimes when I want something sweet and that helps a bit.

    PROTEIN! Eat some protein. Right now. Open a can of tuna, drain it and eat it. Listen to Aunt Bevy. You want carbs. Snuff it out with protein!

    xooxox (or maybe some chicken if you have it or some lunch meat chicken breast or turkey. 4 oz. should do it!)

    1/2 tbs. peanut butter 1/2 tbs. nutella melt for 15 sec in microwave and dip your pretzels in it! Totally takes care of my sweet tooth without grabbing the snickers bar or ice cream :)

    Diet cream soda works for me when I crave chocolate.

    I have had a really bad day like that too, so you are not alone!
    Try looking at some of the success stories in the forum, or have a look at your own before pictures if you have them. Or try looking on the web for some inspirational pics - people with your ideal figure, or find a new outfit that you will reward yourself with once you reach your goal. Silly I know, but it seems to do the trick for me!
    Good luck!

    Try Chocolate unsweetened Almond Milk. It usually does it for me! I find mine in the baking isle.

    I have a sweet tooth, so I keep a tin of boiled sweets to hand. Boiled sweets tend to have between 20 - 35 calories each (depending on the brand) and some carbs and obviously sugar. My sweetie tin has kept me away from chocolate, cakes and biscuits over the last 7 weeks.

    I wouldn't eat more sugar, since that obviously made the craving worse, not better.

    I'd keep doing what you are doing-- everything you can to distract. Get out of the house! Read a book, organize something, garden. If you must eat, or you are actually hungry, try the protein thing suggested by a couple other posters.

    GL! Stay strong.
