I am having that day today... I am eating all good stuff but I feel sick, like I have a cold. So when I am sick I always feel the need to eat I guess it is comforting. I did good I ate the right things stayed away from the carbs and junk but I am just hungry! And there is this stupid Edible Arrangement commercial that keeps coming on every 5 mins of every show I am watching for chocolate covered Strawberries that is not helping! I am sorry I ranted but before I started here I would just eat when I wanted now I need to just watch and so I am doing it! This Helped thanks for listening. :)

    I am so with you on this one today, my throat hurts, I think that is the only thing keeping me from eating everything in sight. Some days there is not enough food to keep me satisfied. I love Edible Arrangements, the fruit is so good, the chocolate puts me over the edge. Hang in there and hope you feel better soon.

    Just had that feeling today.
    I gave myself 500 calories for breakfast and lunch (combined) and just started pigging out on anything I can fit in that amount. I feel a lot better and fuller now.

    Just recently got over one of those days. It's like I can't have enough sweets and salts. I need to find a healthy alternative, and yet feel satisfied. Baklava can help as long it is authentic because it is made from philo dough, walnuts, and honey. Any other suggestions for sweet and salty healthy alternatives?

    Yep, every single month a couple of days before Aunty Flow arrives... I could eat the world.

    Yup and admittedly I will sometimes allow myself to indulge. I'm human for frig sakes and sometimes I just crave that big bag of chips!

    I feel like this right now and am legit debating putting shredded cheese in a taco shell and microwaving it into a makeshift quesadilla.

    I had one on Sunday! I had gone out for two nights in a row and did a lot of hiking and yoga. Then I woke up Sunday and all I wanted to do was sit in bed with COMFORT FOOD and wine. Felt so good.

    Ditto here. I allow myself a couple cheat days where I allow 400-500 extra calories a day before that time of the month. I figure if I am craving more calories, maybe my body needs them, and two days back up to normal calorie intake isn't gonna hurt in the long run.

    YES!! I have to tell myself constantly on those days that eating is for fuel not because I WANT to.


    You are not alone!
