On day 10 of phase one. It was all going so well until I got home from work. I am not hungry but needed some seriously salty crunchiness. I have eaten handfuls o crackers and an nearly sittting on my hands to keep going back for more.
I already feel a headache starting....

inspire me...pleeease

Please just put them away, wash your mouth out and find something P1 friendly to eat. You are 10 days in-it's not worth it!

ah yes. wash my mouth out...great advice. going to go get my toothbrush right now. thank you!

What is it about wheat thins? I do this too..lol

I cannot buy Wheat Thins. I will eat the whole box.

Definitely brush, floss, and do mouthwash. Then sit in a dark room with your eyes closed and breathe deeply. You have put in a lot of work. You can do this!

Me to.. I think they put heroin in them.

You learned a valuable lesson, which is that sometimes the only thing that will satisfy is something salty and crunchy. There are a bunch of things that are Phase 1 friendly that you can keep on hand (crunchy chick peas, etc.) or maybe pickles or olives, which are not crunchy, but certainly satisfy that salt need. Honestly, when only a true junk snack food will do I get a small bag of pork rinds. They don't have any more fat than chips but are low carb and actually have some protein. Plus they are so gross I can't eat more than a small bag.

ROFLOL

I think so, too!

Yumm !!!! Wheat thins. PLEASE tell me how good they were

Seriously, 10 days in - you can do this.

Have you tried the roasted chick peas? I was AMAZED! Or hummus with REALLY crunchy veggies. They aren't Wheat Thins, but they do get you past the cravings.

I have two words for you - crunchy pepperoni!

..... roasted green beans and zuchinni sprayed w/olive oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper. yum.
as good as potato chips /french fries if you get 'em browned enough

Or even the roasted cauliflower or green beans!

BACK AWAY FROM THE WHEAT THINS!

(crack is whack!)

I feel your pain. Although I like sweets and chocolate, I have never really craved them....but give me salty and crunchy and that's my downfall. Wheat thins, Triscuits, chips and salsa...... so I just have to keep them out of the house.

Don't beat yourself up and look forward to tomorrow.

I'm going to have to look for that roasted chickpea recipe. I wonder if anyone has modifed the Friday's deep fried green beans so that they are SBD compliant? Hmmm...

Score !! I just found the recipes..... grocery store for me tomorrow to buy green beans!

Have you tried the string cheese "crackers" recipe? You just slice the cheese sticks into little discs and microwave them til brown. Let them sit a minute and they are these wonderful, crunchy, perfect cracker-like entities! I made a spinach dip with a little cream cheese and tons of spinach and ate it with these while everyone around me was eating it with Wheat Thins and I did not feel deprived. I think that was the #1 tip I ever got on this website (and there have been a million of them!)
