The CRAVINGS thread
 

I have been craving the same thing since I started my diet on June 21: DOUGHNUTS. A specific type: This cream cheese filled doughnut from the local bakery, which is conveniently open 24 hours a day.

So far, I have resisted. Although, I have often wondered if I could pull off eating just 2 of those doughnuts and NOTHING ELSE for dinner!

I'm going to try to hold out until my birthday in October...can I make it?

What have you been craving? How do you resist?

taco bell food.. and i usually cave in about once every two months lol

I'm crazy :crazy: about almost everything dairy queen shows in their commercials! :hungry: Those blizzards KILL me! :faint:
The new one, with cheesecake, caramel AND chocolate?!?!?!??!

How do I resist? I don't go to dairy queen EVER!

I try to have low calorie, healthy stuff around to deal with my terrible sweet teeth ( not "sweet tooth", sweet TEETH)

Like: sugar free, fat free chocolate pudding and fudgesicles (sp?)
Another thing that works well for my sweet teeth is to mix cottage cheese with some cocoa and splenda. I then use my hand mixer thingey to make it smooth. YUM.

The best way, for me, to avoid my cravings is to distract myself until bedtime. I've never had a craving survive my sleep!

I am fortunate that, unlike my dear wife, I do not usually crave sweets.

My cravings are more like:

Chinese food
Thai food
Barbeque
Steak

And some of these things aren't necessarily bad for me. If someone eats a nice 8oz lean steak it can be quite healthy actually.

But I have trouble doing that, I always want a 16oz well marbled ribeye.

I have not yet devised a very successful way of dealing with these cravings.

CHEESECAKE AND ICE CREAM!!!!!!! :drool:

UGH. My co-worker, whose last day is today, just brought in a platter of CANDY--those Nestle Turtle things, cinnamon bears, salt water taffy....and it is sitting on the desk RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. Not fair.

I have been craving M&M's.... but I have resisted.

Yeah I'm like Case, I rarely "crave" sweets.....I crave starchy things like mashed potatoes, chips, rice and beans, chicken nuggets, chili cheese fries, nachos, general tso's chicken....I can feel the stuff settling on my thighs right now:crazy: :D

Chocolate . . . anything fried and covered in cinnamon . . . apple pie/crisp/pastries . . . frozen french fries cooked in the microwave . . .BBQ hot dogs and hamburgers . . . & since it's 97 degrees here today, ice cream!!!!!!

Crepes. I make the best crepes. Crepes with chicken in white wine sauce. Mushroom crepes. I can eat about 20 of the darned things. They've gotta be about 500 calories each. :rolleyes:

I crave chocolate chocolate chocolate!!! And the occassional roast beef sandwhich from Arby's! And Gyros! Dang I want a gyro!!!

anyone that knows me knows this...LITTLE DEBBIE (Little Devil as I say) Anything by little debbie is my weekness and also the Hostess cupcakes with the swirly lines on them. and there are some in my kitchen right now...hubby gave me a look at walmart and I said "go ahead and get them....I CAN resist them now." he wont buy any of my temptation foods unless i say he can...hes so sweet :)

Used to be chinese food...but then I cooked an all chinese meal for Christmas, and well...I was disgusted at how much sugar and starch and oil I ended up using. Grosses me out now.

I crave any combination of carbs, tomatoes and cheese.

I crave,,,enchilledas...lots of cheese and sour cream with a orange cream maragrita. And top if off with baked fruit in a torita,,,and loads of ice cream and rum sauce drizzled over it.
Or a cinnamon bun.

But the stupid thing I ate last night,,,chips...I don't even like chips...gag,,but I ate it. washed it down with a glass of milk....
