    Just curious - do you drink diet soda? I was totally amazed how much better I felt when I cut out all soda and stuck to water only. When I drink diet soda, I start craving all kinds of sweets and junk food!

    Nope, no soda at all here. I use to drink 5 cups of pepsi a day, i cut it out completely a few months ago. I know myself, if i had diet that would lead me back to regular. So just water all day :)

    A lunchable haha. I'm a little kid, but it really helps me when I want "junk food" and it's 390 calories. I get my juicebox to make me feel like a 5 year old, I get a piece of candy (mmm pb cup!) and I get the carbs I'm so desperately craving from the crackers. It's not completely unhealthy, so I go with it and it helps me not cave into eating an entire bag of fritos with a jar of salsa con queso...

    I usually tell myself I can have one if I walk to the store for it (about a 45 minute walk there and back), which burns off most of the extra calories anyways, let alone that after a walk I usually feel like picking up something less heavy.

    When I want something sweet I eat Blue Diamond Honey Roasted Almonds. Now when I say delicious I mean DELICIOUS.

    I try to make healthy swaps, which is what it sounded like you did. Sometimes I will have some cereal and throw in a few chocolate chips. Other times, I will make whole wheat banana chocolate chip muffins...things like that. OR if it fits in your calories, just get a small bag/piece of what you're craving so you will only have it that once.

    mango cream bars from Trader Joe's (like a half size mango creamsicle) and they're only 70 calories (if I recall correctly). YUM!!

    I take a small glass bowl, put in about 1/4 cup of light whipped topping, 1 Tbsp of Hershey's syrup, and 10-15 chocolate morsels. This satisfies me completely.

    Same here. But honestly I let myself have something a little unhealthy every day. And some days I struggle to get my calories up so I have something even more junk foody. I heard it's a good method to be healthy 80% of the time and be more relaxed 20%. So as long as the rest of my day is how it should be I'm perfectly okay with letting myself have a candy bar when I want it. But if you don't feel comfortable I'd say maybe a chocolate protein shake or whatever flavor you're craving and maybe some crackers to substitute for the cheetos. I just think that if your body is really wanting it, have a little. It won't kill you. It takes 3,500 extra calories to gain 1 lb

    Hmm...oh...I miss read this...oh well...honestly when it's really bad, I just give myself ONE really bad day, then I get that HOT FUDGE SUNDAE frozen custard or whatever I really, really wanted, so I don't go eat a bunch of stuff mindlessly like I end up doing when I secretly want something and follow up with some good slow burn foods like protein smoothie or something like that.
