I have been having that kind of day that all I want to do is eat my weight in food. I know tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I would be having a crap ton of food, and I'm craving to just bury myself in calories and fat...

Drink lots of water
Have a protein shake
Have a bowl of low calorie soup (I like miso)
Exercise
Read a book
Knit
Go for a walk
Call a friend
...
Do anything that will make you feel fuller and distract you without loading up on calories.

Awe BleuMaus could it be TGiving day anxiey? Wow, maybe eat in moderation tomorrow -maybe your body needs these extra calories. I'm sending you some support.

@ EagleRiverDee:
Just chugged so much water I now feel like a fish. I'm going to do some yoga in a little bit.

@ avalonmoon:
I am having anxiety about tomorrow and that's what I want to do, eat in moderation. Im hoping I can do it.

I make myself a big pot of tea, slide on over to a video game and murder zombies. Before I know it, those bad cravings for Wendy's/Arby's/KFC/Chocolate, whatever is gone.

Maybe watch a movie? Take a bath?

There are many great suggestions here for warding off cravings. I am sending you support, I understand how hard it can be at times to stick to the plan when you just really want to eat.

Sometimes we all feel this way. Stay strong - moderation tomorrow. You can do it!

Possible TMI but do you get this feeling every month? Without fail 13 days before my period it seems I'm starving and could eat everything in the house and not get full

Went out of town for the holiday, mother keeps offering us junk food when she knows we don't eat it. Other family members don't necessarily know, but mother does.

Self control is hard, it's you against yourself.

Hang in there, stay on track, make good choices and most of all, enjoy the holiday!
