Hi guys, I need some help. I've done great on my diet for 2 wks, now,all the sudden, I'm giving in to my cravings. Yest. I did great all day, then last night I couldnt' stop eating my hubby's potatoe chips. Today I have done great as well, but I spotted my daughters chocolate chip cookies...and ate almost half the pack!! UGH! I've seen them for 2 wks and I was never temped to eat them, why now! I'm not going to give up, I'm doing great, so why am I diving into the junk???

I'm afraid I don't have an explaination, but with me, I found that once I started eating a little junk here and there it was followed by even more cravings. Potato chips are a huge weakness for me too. Stay strong and fight it!!! You can do it girl, just keep reminding yourself how far you've come and don't let a few cravings stop you from achieving your goals!!

I agree once you give in to those cravings you'll just keep giving in. Stay strong you're doing so well. You already to notice that you slipped now take it as a lesson learn and keep back on track. We have confidence you

If you find you are having a craving for something like potato chips or cookies, try to find some low fat, low calories options that you can have every once in a while. There are some new chips out on the market, but i can't remember by who, and they are supposedly okay for those of us who are watching what we eat. Also, try to find a recipie for some healthy chocolate chip cookies, and treat yourself every once in a while. If you don't have to cut them all completely out of your diet and your life, they may not be as tempting (we always want what we can't have).

Sorry bout that

Errtu takes a good person to make an apology.
Errtu since you deleted your "opps"...no longer any need for my "hey you!!"...I really appreciate all the good stuff you say on here.

Hey Korrie, you've done so well. Take it in stride. A treat now and then isn't a bad thing. You just have to make sure it's just now and then. Tomorrow is a new day and as good a day as any to start fresh in your quest for healthy living! And we're here to support you!

Jenn...THANKS for your post, you hit the nail on the head...and errtu, thanks for your apology (I did read the post before it disapeared)

Thanks again everyone....((hugs))

it happens to me too, i think i just get sick of eating healthy and have to give in. but it happens right before my period. im sure you know THOSE cravings are extremely strong. so you slipped up, you made a mistake, get right back into the program. if im craving crunchy salt i grab a rice cake, if im craving something sweet i grab a yogurt.

errtu, have you been bad? i missed the post lol.

Damn it was only there for like an hour. Course not wonderwoman. Im perfect lol

Ah!! I have a confession! I was just at my friend's house and they ordered Domino's, so I was like... well one piece of pizza is fine.. so I ate one. And then I was like.. hmm I haven't tried these Cinna Stix, so I tried a piece and it was soooooo gooood! So I ended up eating 4 sticks!!! AH! I hate cravings

i can completely relate.... i knew i was going out for pizza with friends tonight, and so i was hoping to maybe order a salad, but they had already ordered pizza for all of us to share when i got there... and i had two pieces, and while i don't think it was that bad, who knows... it's a local place so no info out there on calories or whatnot... and then i just out of the blue ordered a soda instead of water... and when the waitress brought a refill, didn't bat an eye... i was having a tough day... i'm not going to beat myself up for it, but it really made me realize that i haven't totally gotten in the swing of this yet and need to really get myself going.

ohhh pizza is fulla carbs, just ends up making me eat more so i stay away from it. yesterday i ate half of one of my kids poptarts and felt guilty. wholly crap did you know HALF of a dam pop tart is 150 calories?

wow! thats a lot! Whenever I eat pizza, I usually go for thin crust.. less carbs, and less calories.. but that one I ate wasn't.. and it was all greasy and yummy.
