    Try getting in a few more healthy carbs in a day... it'll really help, PROMISE!!! Try to get the carbs from whole grains. I used to me a model for healthy eating all day long until i got home from work and then it would hit me right between the eyes and I'd end up eating a great big pile of anything sweet i could find in my house. I tried the extra grain carbs and have had next to no cravings for sweets.

    Hope this helps! :drinker:

    it's ok. I allow myself raw cookie dough only once a year - while baking choc chip cookies for Christmas. Usually I make myself feel nauseous enough that I don't want it again for a full year. :laugh:

    I always crave sweets, but especially now. I think it's the "I can't have it, so I want it even more" mentality. I was actually craving raw cookie dough a while back too. It just nagged at me for a few weeks. NO kidding. I am not even that big a fan of raw cookie dough. So, one day I just had to get a tube and I ate some. I realized it just wasn't that tasty. I even felt kinda sick after eating some. So, I stopped eating it and baked up the rest of the dough and took the cookies to work. Never touched the cookies or the dough again.


    Good Luck to you! :smokin:

    Oddly, I started craving spicy stuff - the hotter the better. I have always loved spicy stuff but no one in my family can eat, so I'd stopped cooking that way. When going out, I stopped ordering the beloved hot wings because the did not play nicely with my weight loss plan.
    After a few months, I really started to crave spicy and discovered the feta stuffed jalepeno pepper. One has only 28 calories or thereabouts, and I couldn't stop eating them! I eat them just on their own, I chop them up and add them to salads - so good. I crave them regularly. And put frank's red hot sauce on everything else :tongue:
