Cravings
Well I have lost 27 pounds and thats what I had planned. But now I need to maintain and that is difficult for me during the winter months. I cannot stand working out in cold weather and so I have to rely on an indoor work out routine. I had planned on having my gym membership by now but I have not done that as of yet. And to make things even worst I have injured my leg doing exercises that I am not accustomed to. So I am focusing on maintaining my diet as my leg gets better.
Along these lines I was having a discussion with a friend of mine about dieting. As we talked I realize that we were having many of the same issues with dieting. We came to the conclusion that hunger was not the main problem with dieting. Cravings were giving both of us major problems. It was cravings that was causing the most of the set backs in our weight loss efforts. I think I will look more into this craving problem. I don’t think that I am the only one with major issues with craving. What do you crave; share them with me in the comments section.

Cravings are a natural part of living. Our bodies tend to crave what they need. The problem is when we give it huge amounts. I crave chocolate. I have trained myself to have one or two squares each day, at the end of the day as a reward. I take time to let it melt in my mouth and throw a couple of almonds in there with it. I have found that by eliminating white flour and starchy foods from my diet, that I have a lot fewer cravings. Carbs make us crave sweets, so if we cut back on the carbs, we can also curb our sweet tooth.

It's definitely chocolate for me. But as Pam mentioned, by allowing myself to have a piece of really good chocolate each day and by taking the time to truly experience and enjoy it, I control the craving. It's only when we deny ourselves that which we crave that we lose control and binge. If you are hungry for something - to the point where you crave it - eat it. But only eat a little. My skinny sister always tells me that thin people eat Snickers. They just eat them one at a time!
