Sugar craving alert

[Suzie54]

The dreaded cravings have hit me hard tonight & to make things worse there is a pack of four Bounties shouting at me from the fridge although I am doing better than usual as they have been there since Saturday. So my tactic is to come on here to distract myself. That in its self is different as before I would have given into them by now. Go me

Hi Suzie54,

Glad you're distracting yourself from those Bounties and glad you popped in here!  I would be tempted to cut those bounties up into small pieces and freeze them - making them less accessible generally, but you're probably better off not going near them at all just now.  

Actually I have no idea what happens to Bounties if they are frozen, not sure if it is a good idea or not.  It's just that I tend to freeze portions of cake, so that I'm not tempted to eat several portions.

Hope you have a great night, and well done on having coped with those items being in your fridge since Saturday.  That's good going!

Hi Lowcal

I still have enough calories left for half a piece but to be honest I don't think I would be able to stop at just half I'm better off staying away from them. I think frozen Bounties would be lovely I have my son, daughter in law & grandchildren coming to stay tomorrow, so I am sure they will find a good home then

Oh dear, why do you have bounties in the house.  If there are other people they can keep them in their rooms, poor you.  I removed all temptation.  I do have my sugar free chewing gums which are not without calories because they use a natural sweetener, but in times of... that something sweet... they do. 

You can do this, do not allow the food to control you, you control the food.

Go you! You can do it! How about telling yourself you are going to treat yourself at the end of the week and allow yourself some chocolate, I find eating the chocolate slowly and cutting them up into small pieces works well and somehow taste better that way because your are savouring it with the guilt.  Good luck.

without the guilt I meant lol!

Resist the Bounty!!!! I would have to put them in a bag/box so that they were not visible and put them at the back of the fridge. Well done for distracting yourself.

Well done Suzie! I love bounties) I have just had a similar thing with hubby and daughter tucking into lovely fresh crusty bread and butter, my 100 cals wouldn't have gone far so I had A Banana 😊

Imagine if you eat those bounties you will gain 30 lbs instantly Do some squats, practice some meditation and screw bounties, they are evil creatures that just want you to feel shame and guilt. You are stronger than that!

Oh and if you can't do anything but think of food, have a fruit or whole grain cracker instead.

Hi, I used to get cravings but when I cut out all sugar ,I lost them. I am very careful how much fruit I have one piece at breakfast and one in evening everything else is low carb and sugar free and I have found I am not struggling with wanting chocolate or cake now. Hope that helps

I feel for you. I love chocolate! I find it easier not to have it in the house. I do occasionally buy some chocolate or cakes for my son and husband but I ask them to keep it out of the kitchen if they aren't going to eat it straight away so I don't get tempted.
