You can do it! I agree with brushing your teeth to help. In fact, grab a box of Crest Whitestrips and wrap your teeth in them
It also helps to do something that takes your mind off of food - and your mouth, lol. Go outside and weed the flower garden. Walk the dog. Go window shopping. I try to find something really constructive to do, such as organizing my closet or cleaning out my drawers, or scrubbing the bathroom.
I definitely swear by the old trick of drinking a large glass of water. If you still have the craving after that, feed it, but only with veggies. If you find you don't want veggies, in my experience, it's not a physical craving and you can just ignore it.
How'd it go, Dana? I hope you had a good day Avoiding giving in to cravings can be tricky at first, but after you've done it successfully a few times, you'll be surprised at how much less often you get them. Your body will get used to the newer, healthier way of eating. It's kind of like quitting smoking. The cravings eventually go away
Well yesterday before dinner I drank a glass of water with 2 tablespoons of vinegar in it.... almost could not eat my dinner cause that was nasty! That is a sure way to make your cravings go.....

Did you use apple cider vinegar? My parents swear by the healing powers of apple cider vinegar. A cough and cold requires you to drink AC vinegar with some honey in hot water. I still do it just because that's what I'm used to, but now I subsitute a packet or 2 of splenda. After awhile you get used to the taste but for some reason my husband won't sleep in the same room with me when I'm drinking it. He says I smell like vinegar.
I've not tried it as an appetite suppressant. I can imagine it would work in a yucky sort of way.
Yes it was apple cider and I just added it to water. The more water the less potent it is to get down. But, it's worth it if it helps me lose weight! I did not do it this a.m. though... something about vinegar for breakfast! ICK!!
I have a hard time with acidic stuff myself, although I love sour things (like pickles). Hiatal hernias run in the family, and although I haven't seen a dr to find out if I have one, I have the same symptoms the other women in my family had. So I guess vinegar is not for everyone!
I'm Having A Craving!!
