Ditto to this! Also, it often works to first eat "my" food and tell myself I can have the pizza (or whatever) afterward. Then, with the edge off my hunger, it's a lot easier to say no to the pizza.

You might want to try "The IF Diet" by Robert Skinner. It gives you the lowdown on three popular IF plans and should help you decide which fits you best.

I don't know about other people, but sugar cravings are VERY real to me. And yes, when I'm not drinking alcohol, I crave sugar much more - to replace the sugar in alcohol, probably.

Wow, everybody - thanks! I'm the original poster and popped back on my lunch hour to see if anybody had weighed in. I've now got about 20 ways to Egg Rage, lol! But I'll try them all and let you know the winner. :)

Hi Carrie! I'm new, also, and I get how you're feeling. Willpower is worthless, because it comes and goes. Really, what's needed is a decision and commitment to make a lifestyle change.
