If I increase my activity, I get to eat a reasonable 1600+ in order to lose 2 lbs a week. Theoretically anyway. I'd love to see some serious weight loss by the end of 2008 ~~ 30 lbs would be nice. I have to completely avoid fast food places. Am I really missing anything? Yup....lots of poundage on my booty. But I must say, my mouth involuntarily waters at the commercials sometimes.

I usually have some and then try to distract myself with a different activity so that I don't eat the whole box/bag at once. Mark, thanks for the reminder about food journaling. I know this is what I need to do to get my eating back to a good spot, so I need all the reminders I can get. Now where is that notebook.....? @liv–I agree with Fit and Lori, sometimes you just have to give in and allow yourself some chocolate and/or chips.

I'm with Fitarella. I don't try to fight it. Just go with it but in a controlled fashion. Meaning - I usually crave chocolate (which is highly unusual for me) or ice cream (which is pretty common for me) - so, you know what I do? I eat some chocolate and some ice cream. The key word is "some". The cravings are usually only 1 or 2 days at most and then I try to be very diligent in my eating after that. I read somewhere that we burn extra calories while menstruating anyway. I think it's all part of God's beautiful design to let us eat some chocolate during "that time" without it counting against us. @liv I hear ya! I’m with Fitarella. I don’t try to fight it.

Meaning they will never go away, so I have to be prepared for when they come knocking me over. During those times I crave sweet, so when I know it might be getting to be that time, I stick up on frozen fuit, sugar free popsicles/fudgesicles, whipped cream, marshmallow fluff, chocolate syrup...I know that it will only be a few days so I might as well just do the best that I can and not torture myself with dprivation because that only leads to trouble for me. One of my faves is a frozen bannana cut up, topped with light whipped cream, chocolate syrup & peanuts...like a bannana split but w/o the ice cream. :-) Let me know if you need any other ideas, i've gpt LOTS of them! @Liv – as a woman that also gets those crazy hormonal food cravings, I know just what you mean :-) For me, I’ve just learned that I can’t find them, but instead have to just ‘go wih them’.
