I want to eat some BAD food
 

but I'm coming here instead. I've already had my snack and I'm not hungry but I feel like eating. I don't really care what I just want to eat something. Cookies, fast food, cake, pizza.. It's been awhile since I've felt this way and it's really frustrating me now... I think I'm going to go occupy myself by taking a hot bath with a book I'm ready. Hopefully by the time I'm done in there my mind will be free of the food..

Do you allow a cheat day at all? My husband and I are allowing one a week, but I am dropping it to once every other week instead.
I keep low cal hot chocolate on hand for when I want something sweet that won't undo my day.

Try the hot bath, paint your toenails, you know...spa night. :) Stay strong! :)

I'm right there with you! Today ive been thinking about a burger and sweet potato fries!

I do have a cheat day once a week after my official weigh in. After I orginally posted I realized that I'm due for TOM in about a week and it seems that for about a week before hand I get the munchies bad. If that's what this is I'm dreading the next few days!

Now that sounds good!! I love sweet potato fries. I usually make them home made though and drizzle of EVOO on and the some rosemary and bake them. Yummy...

Off topic, but what do you eat on a cheat day?

I know the feeling. I've just made myself a nice sweet tea (with artificial sweetner) so hopefully that should curb by sweet cravings!

so close I can feel it!

Your own words :-) You can do it. Glad you came here to post and hope by the time I am typing this that the urge to splurge has passed.

completely depends one what I'm doing that day. If I'm staying at home I'll cook something that isn't so "light" and have a yummy desert/snack in the evening. I either do that or we will go out for dinner that day. When we go out on a cheat day I allow myself to order whatever I feel like getting and then ONLY eat until I'm full and then I stop. I don't usually feel deprived of the "good" food though..I think almost 6 months of eating this way is really changing the kinds of food that I enjoy to eat..being the more healthy stuff.
