I hate having these urges! I think i'm addicted on junk, I have been trying really hard not to eat junk. Is there some sort of junk eating rehab, because these urges are getting out of hand.

    Just have one low calorie junk a day till eventually you wont craze junk at all :)
    I love cakes and cookies and I eat them now but just lower calorie and even sugar free versions. It helps and sometimes I dont even crave it :)

    Find something healthy that replaces the 'junk'
    How about a granola bar w/ chocolate in it....
    A rice cake w/ peanut butter on it....
    something like that will satisfy your sweet tooth.

    Seriously... our office has Krispy Kremes and even though I know it's like 300 calories for one doughnut, I want it so bad right now. Sweet tea and carrot sticks usually helps me, but right now I'm just avoiding looking at the doughnuts and hope they go away.

    For me, it's a substitution thing. On my particular plan I eat a lot of lightly salted nuts, crispy fruits, pork rinds and jerky, They all take care of the junk snack cravings and stick around a while. As to meals, I just fix stuff smaller with lots of flavor. Lots of Cabbage and other high fiber vegies. Again, lots of crispy fruit. Frozen Berries and Yogurt are a great sweet substitue, as are sauteed apples and cinnamon (recipes abound). Not sure what kind of plan YOU have chosen but for me a lower carb plan has been relatively easy to find substitutions for high carb options. Exception is the Pizza craving. Still haven't found a way around that one yet :)

    The more you eat healthy, the less you crave junk food. I used to be the same way, but it's getting a lot better.

    It's taking awhile...but I'm doing this without artificial sweeteners. I eliminated all artificial sweeteners, including high fructose corn syrup, from my diet 4.5 years ago. Switching from diet coke to water shed 5lbs.

    In terms of junk food, I have found that I actually don't like chips, they're just a vehicle for salsa. And the first scoop of Haagen-Dazs (which I offset with exercise calories) tastes way better than the second or third.

    Doughnuts...I love a good doughnut...unfortunately most of them aren't good. Wait for one of those and savor it.

    Dark chocolate. Antioxidants. Modest sugar. Endorphins. and good fat. Everything the body needs during a craving. LOL ;)

    Not sure what kind of junk food it is that you're craving, but try to find a healthy substitution! Make your own junk food, but make it with healthy ingredients! Swap out the highly processed foods for something you make yourself!

    Eventually you will start to crave healthy non-processed foods!

    Good luck!
