How do you all deal with cravings? I know I can't be the only one with this problem - during my PMS week (how much is too much information . . . I know), but I bloat 5 lbs. and crave chocolate and quick carbs like crazy. Even if I eat plenty of produce and protein, I still find myself at the pantry door over and over for a couple of days. Do I just let it go for those 2 or 3 days or try to fight it?? Any suggestions will be most helpful. Unfortunately this has hit at the end of the month so I may pass on weighing in a month-end total, as it really won't be realistic. :roll: :roll: :roll:

I don't have PMS but still have the cravings. Try some B-complex vitamins. It might help take that nagging craving away. I take 100 mg b complex and It isn't nearly so bad. I can actually pass the fridge w/o looking in it! LOL

Rose--be careful on that treadmill. Take it easy... you can worry about the weight after the wee one appears.


I have that too--but for one day. I always know what's ahead when I cannot get full, no matter what I eat. Hopefully--it'll be coming to a stop soon. I just try to eat low cal stuff... popcorn... baby carrots...soup... doesn't always work. Chocolate covered pretzels always works--for the craving--not for the last pounds. :roll:

I am somewhat eating more now, in preparation for the incentive program in March. :roll: Being the winner is not my biggest intention, but maybe the incentive will jump start my losing again. Platues are frustrating :!:

There has been a good response for the "Weigh In Reward Program" to be posted Fri. Feb 26. Hang in there girls!!

thank you for your concern. the widwife actually suggested I get some MILD exercise to help reduce my stress levels from work--an effort to keep my blood pressure in check. So far it's working!

Cravings--they are hormonal!!! I know this because I crave chocolate like a MAD woman when not pregnant. While pregnant I can't stand anything sweet--especially chocolate!!

keep up the good work everyone!!!

Today is weigh in day for me and I have gained 2 lbs. I know what the reason is. I did not exercise at all for 3 days and I may (just may) have gotten a little cocky since losing 4 lbs last week, This gain sure took that attitude right out of me. LOL Instead of walking 1-1/2 miles this morning, I walked 2.48 miles. It is a new day, a new beginning, and I am determined to keep going.

I weigh in this evening. I will try to report as soon as I get home, if not, in the morning. Sorry, don't mean to be a trouble maker.

Hope everyone is happy and healthy today. Fake it 'til you make it!
