Alright well. Today my parents went shopping and since my family are junk food people, they bought all my (old) favorites. I couldn't take it and just weakened. So, anybody have any ideas on how to stop these cravings? They're getting really annoying.

Like I would have a cookie, and then about 5 minutes later I would feel so awful.Ech, it's horrible ><;


My problem is solved! But Elite needs some advice so scroll downish and READ HERS! biggrin - RaineUser Image

Ahh I have this problem too. So don't worry. I caved in and had a little ice cream.
But really it's all about self control. And your families eating habits isn't helping. Tell your mom that you want her to pick up very healthy stuff. Such as vegetables, chicken, seltzer water (deff gets rid of my soda craving), and yogurt. smile

It's okay to cheat every once and awhile. Junky food was made to reward us! biggrin haha.

Well...first if I'm craving some thing "bad" I eat something healthy and if I'm still wanting it, I eat it but eat less because I am mostly full already. If that doesn't work then have a cup of tea and chew some gum.

I usually have gum all the time when I'm hungry but dun wanna eat a lot. But I ran out that's why I asked D:
MUST GET GUM! -puts on to-do list-

This is the way I have done it.
I do a moderate exercise everyday of the week and then on say, Sunday I let myself eat a little bit unhealthy to kinda reward myself for accomplishing the whole week. I'll eat maybe a bowl of ice cream and a cookie or two, or I'll get something from a fast food place, tat is healthy but still yummy!

That way when you look at something that you really want, you stop and think, "No. I have to wait until Sunday to eat that because that is my reward day!"

I've also found that in a weirdish way, almonds seem to stop my cravings, so maybe you can try. I just eat 4 or 5 and my cravings go away quickly.
Not only that, but they are very good for you too!

I hope this helps. smile

A trick I love to use:
I freeze a bag of grapes and it helps me to not eat ice cream in the summer.
It cools you down and taste's very nummy, with only 3 calories per grape. Plus it makes you burn more because it's cold.

Haha I kicked myself in the poll :]
& thanks for the tip! I love grapes whee

Okay so dad offered to take me to the movies. I gladly accepted because I haven't seen a movie in forever. Anyway here is my problem... The movies is great and all but what about all that popcorn and soda and candy?! So far I have done a great job of avoiding all sorts of junkies and occasionally I will have a little ice cream to reward myself... but what do i do about this? I was thinking of just getting a small popcorn and a bottle of water... What would you do?

Well, I would get a bottle of water and probably small popcorn like you said. But I would also take some gum just in case I start craving junk at the theater which I do all the time D:User Image

Well, I always drink water like a madman when I'm craving something that I don't think I should have. It fills up your stomach, so you don't -feel- hungry anymore, but it makes you pee a lot, so I guess it's your decision. xD
