food cravings

[Guest guest]

,

I hope your food cravings have let up today. I don't have a clue as

to why we have those days when all food looks wonderful and we just

can't seem to get enough to eat, but I know exactly what you were

talking about. When I have one of those days, all the veggies in the

world won't do the trick, so rather than eat 2 dozen cookies or a

whole pecan pie, I eat something really filling, like cereal. For me,

Cheerios or Kix with low fat milk works, as neither needs added sugar

to taste good. I'm sure there are lots of healthier alternatives, but

for me it's a quick fix that satisfies the urge to eat so I can get

on with other things.

Chocolate cravings are a whole 'nuther animal. I could eat a pound of

Fannie May or Sees without blinking an eye if I let myself,

especially the ones with nuts!! Fortunately, I enjoy dark chocolate

and find that treating myself to a small piece of dark chocolate,

like the Dove Promises dark chocolate - 42 calories, thank you - will

satisfy the craving and keep me from running out for a hot fudge

sundae.

Hope you have a great day.
