That happens to me too - try to confuse the craving. Do you have any dill pickles? Eat something really sour and crunchy (the opposite of a cupcake) and the craving might subside.

Yes m'am... keen to that trick! - I just ate a handful of raw almonds. Not sweet; not salty or sour... and "not much". But certainly not "cupcakey" in any form, shape or manner. Let's see how my cupcake-brain fairs now!
Hey BeachPatrol--I don't know for sure, of course, but I'd suspect that one chocolate covered pretzel may have been a "trigger" for you, and now you want MORE... of something! Most likely simple carbohydrates, sugar, chocolate... It doesn't always come on immediately--sometimes there's a delay.
Doesn't mean you "shouldn't" have had the pretzel--it's just more information for you! Lets you know what to expect--higher cravings for awhile. Just hang in there, girl!
Thanks Jay! -
I really don't have much choice but to "hang in there"... there isn't a cupcake to be found for MILES from where I work... which, in this case? A GOOD THING!
What gets me is the fact that I KNOW I am NOT HUNGRY - AT ALL! That's why I'm sure this is a hormonal attack. Dagnabit. Why can't cupcakes have the nutritional value of broccoli?? Or why can't asparagus TASTE more like a cupcake??
Subliminal government conspiracy? It's your mouth that wants to wrap itself around a cupcake. Try a hard candy like Werther's Originals, some water or club soda and when the candy is done, pop some peppermint gum into your mouth. Of course since its now 10:30pm, you've no doubt survived the craving.
I'm NOT hungry. I'm NOT hungry. I'm NOT hungry...

No other reason for it.
