what to do

I'm just trying to get myself in shape and break my sugar addiction. I crave a snack so bad before bed that I get massive headaches. Today I tried to replace the sugar cravings by drinking 160z of water each time. I was hoping I would feel full. Well, I drank alot more water than I would normally; but the cravings were still there, and the headache. After a while, I decided to try ginger tea with fat free creamer instead of milk, and even 5tsp of sugar. it was ok. it did help for a few hours, and it didn't put me out that much on my goals. Finally, it was time for bed and I felt like baking a cake. But instead I had two serving of cereal. And although it did put me out a little, I figured it would have been worst if I made myself a homemade cake and ate a few slices. So I'm proud o fmyself for a first day. So my advice is.....try, hope it will get better and you will get over the craving, but in the mean time, do the least harmful thing. try apples and honey, cereal, tea, ...just try to stay away from what you know is most likely the worst idea to have in your mouth. For those of us who are just starting we have to trust those that have gone before us. They so you can break craving and addictions by healthy replacements for 30 days. I'm closer to starting the count down by trying I figure.

Drink water!! No food at night. have a healthy snack a bit after dinner to hold you over until bed.

If you have a sugar craving try some fresh cut strawberries with a little bit of Chocolate Cool whip(it is actually low in sugar, carbs and a lot less calories then a candy bar) Hope that helps! :-)

Celery and salsa or a piece of fruit. Keep frozen grapes in the freezer too. Helps me.

a tbsp of natural peanut butter and water. Then brush the teeth. I have to brush my teeth or it'll turn into six tbsp of peanut butter. lol

Try having a glass of warm milk, sweeten it just a little if you must.
It'll make you feel like you've had something and will probably help you fall asleep, too.

I drink a bunch of water, so I get that sloshy feeling and I brush my teeth.

If I'm still hungry, normally I tell myself that "Now I can have a super awesome breakfast in the morning"

Something to look forward to.

If you need to eat, go for some raw veggies!

The first week I felt REALLY hungry and wanted to snack all the time! If you feel the need to snack only at night and can't seem to go to sleep then maybe try brushing your teeth so you won't want to eat and then drink a glass of water so you know your stomach isn't empty. My dad, when he couldn't sleep at night, would do pushups! If you can't fall alseep, try doing something that will make you tired and help you take your mind off of it! Sometimes I like to read a book or do word searches on my phone while I'm laying in the bed! It helps my mind wind down and helps me feel tired faster!
