What foods do you really, *really* crave?

But know that if you consume them, you could potentially completely fall off the wagon in regards to becoming healthier and fitter?

Mine's coke - as in Coca Cola. Gave it up months ago after years of drinking it. It's currently hot where I am (in NZ) and I really am craving a VERY cold glass of fizzy and sweet coke! I'm practically salivating at the thought, haha.

But I can't even have one sip, not even if I want a bourbon and cola. It's like an addiction... I know 'bad' foods are ok in moderation, but I'm actually that worried if I have a drink of coke, I will start back up again.

What's yours?

    Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. I wanted one soooooo bad tonight when I was at walmart and picked up candy for tomorrow, but I resisted. If I'd bought a bag of those....they'd be gone by now!

    ....mine are pizza and Coke.....:sad: but 2 months ago I stopped cold turkey drinking Coke and I was addicted to it...to the point that when I would get in a crappy mood my kids back then who were 6 and 7(now 18 and 19) would tell me MOM have a coke... but now that I gave it up when I try to sip a drink it tastes really really sweet to me....as for pizza no way am I having a nibble I know for sure I will want the whole dang thing:tongue:

    GOD YES! The can.....! Yes!

    People have also told me to give the diet stuff a go but I react badly to them, get a very bad tummy-ache and headache. My GP told me to avoid diet drinks and things with the aspartame in them as he seems to think it's what I'm having a reaction to.

    Twizzlers, gummy bears, nibs -- anything chewy, really. As my new year's resolution I quit all that stuff but Hallowe'en is a tough time of year for me! MUST AVOID CANDY AISLE>>>>>

    I love any sort of pastry w/an ice cold glass of milk. I typically always overdo it though and have no off button. I eat cookies until I'm rolling around practically and then top it off by drinking a glass of milk which puts me way over the edge. I need to learn to avoid it all together.

    Jax/Cheetos, and potato chips and brie (not together, of course, lol :laugh: ) jIf I have them around, it will be the kiss of death to this new lifestyle. I just LOVE them, but they cause more damage than good. I need to just leave them in the past. They are no longer a part of my life style and if i really start to head in their direction at the store, I just remember that there are many servings that I had of them, that are still on me. On my hips, thighs, belly, love handles, breasts, etc... Kind of odd, I know, but it is effective in sending me running, right for the produce section! lol! :smile:

    Well I have taken off these things for about the month it takes me to stop craving them, chocolate #1, lollies close 2nd....Hot junk, hmmm pizza also mmmmmm Oh fried chicken :-)

    There are a few. I find though if I take them from my diet for about a month I can enjy them in moderation as long as I am watching myself. The flavour changes for me after that so I dont crave it as much. Thank goodness!

    cheese has a hold on me.

    Me too. I haven't given it up though because I know I couldn't. I probably eat more cheese than I should but I still seem to be losing weight, I just try and buy lighter versions of cheese.

    But cheesecake is my ultimate weekness. I can't allow myself to buy any or the whole thing will disappear very quickly.

    Pizza AND corn-dogs. I think one corn-dog has like 400-500 calories.

    2 minute noodles. They are of the devil though. So high in cals and sodium and give you nothing in return. Ive promised myself I can have two at 95kg. (24kg away) I'm craving them so bad but I'm NOT having them!
