Since I " fell off the wagon " hard this week I had a night where I started eating whatever I could find. It's a vicious cycle. I want more and more but I'm not really enjoying it. I ended up eating those pastel sugary conversation hearts from Valentine's day. How desperate is that? The kids don't even like those! At least I didn't break into the baby food fruit which is something I have done in the past. So how wacky do you all think I am now?

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 I have always had wicked sugar cravings, turns out I have PCOS. hehe... so how does that relate? With PCOS often comes insulin resistance. The ONLY thing I have ever found that controls the sugar cravings is having an equal amount of protein/carbs in each sitting. So if I have a chocolate bar, I have some protein with it. It works! Now someone else (I can't remember who to give credit) suggested cutting up a protein bar into little squares, popping them into a ziploc then into the freezer. They're like hard caramels! When I fancy something sweet I eat 1-2 of those. Also there are the " fool yourself cookies " - they're great, and available for download in this group. I found that they freeze perfectly, so you can make them in advance. in NZ C1W9D5 > In a message dated 3/18/2004 3:21:30 PM Eastern Standard Time, > writes: > I was so desperate for something sweet the > other night I picked all of the dried strawberries out of the cereal > I eat on my free days.......Some things I do I should just keep to > myself.lol > > Don't feel bad... at least you made a decent choice.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 TOO FUNNY!!!! Last night I picked out and ate all of the nuts out of a banana nut muffin that I was feeding to my daughter. I also snuck about 10 bites of her Cheerios and whole milk (whole milk is so delicious ) > In a message dated 3/18/2004 3:21:30 PM Eastern Standard Time, > writes: > I was so desperate for something sweet the > other night I picked all of the dried strawberries out of the cereal > I eat on my free days.......Some things I do I should just keep to > myself.lol > > Don't feel bad... at least you made a decent choice.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Sometimes what I'll do when I'm trying not to totally blow my day is opt for some sugar free jello. Believe me, I've never thought of jello as a " dessert, " but sometimes it can help curb that craving. > > In a message dated 3/18/2004 3:21:30 PM Eastern Standard Time, > > writes: > > I was so desperate for something sweet the > > other night I picked all of the dried strawberries out of the > cereal > > I eat on my free days.......Some things I do I should just keep to > > myself.lol > > > > Don't feel bad... at least you made a decent choice.
