    all of you saying you crave pizza - try one of these recipes, it's not quite pizza but you get a similar taste!

    Pizza-Wrap
    - Tesco goodness whole-n-white wraps (only 75 cals per wrap)
    - tomato puree
    - oragano
    - basil
    - grated cheese (buy the low fat variety & have extra)
    - pepperoni (I don't eat meat so I'm just adding this for you :P)

    Put them in the oven for 2-3 minutes so that the cheese melts, leave in for an extra minute if you'd prefer them slightly more crispy. Allow to cool then eat. yum yum ;) hahah!

    OR

    Pizza-Ricecakes
    - Tesco lightly salted rice cakes (25 cals per cake)
    - all the rest of the ingredients from the 1st recipe.

    Pop in the microwave & watch for when the cheese melts - only takes like half a minute if that!


    trust me, both are delicious - NOT the same as pizza, but a LOT less calories & as close as you can get to the pizza-taste without guilt & gaining the pounds! (: curbs my cravings every time!

    Hope this helps :D xx


    p.s the food I have to keep myself away from is peanut butter, nutella or galaxy minstrels.. apple turnovers, jam donuts or cinnamon swirls! such a huuuuge sweet tooth.

    I'm usually OK around all the high calorie sweets, but if you put booze in front of me, chances are I'll have you time me to see how fast I can drink it.

    Bread...Bread is my weakness...Sometimes when going out I choose the restaurant based on how good their bread is :blushing:

    TeeJayBee - loving that first pizza idea! I've made pizza on a pitta bread base, and that was good enough to cure a craving and prevent over eating portions....but i like the wrap idea!

    My biggest weakness is chinese take-away - man it is so bad for the body it is actually anti-nutritious....but i just cant stay away from it!

    Hmm, let's see.. Pizza, Chinese Food, Cookies (certain types), Macaroni n' Cheese.. Yep. One small portion just isn't enough when it comes to these kinds of foods. Best for me to steer clear for good.

    I miss hot chips, and pizza that I didn't have to be so stingy with myself on. And pasta puttanesca.

    Crisps and alcohol. Luckily, my husband doesn't drink so we don't have alcohol around much, but when I go out or stay with my parents, I always go over my calories, and have to make sure I run a lot to compensate.

    The main thing, though, is boredom. I have never quite managed to shake off boredom eating. The only thing that works for me is keeping myself so manically busy I simply don't have the time.
