Hi Everyone,
I ended up gaining :( I usually gain some just as my period starts so I am putting down to that. I have such a sweet craving too along with that. I was doing so well with my 6 month vacations from this and last month it came back and I notice it brought the sweet craving with it. I am staying strong; I tried making a cup of tea with some BCF friendly dark chocolate I found, but it's just not working. I am staying away from everything but it's difficult. Any suggestions?? what helps with the monthly sweet cravings? Keep in mind that if I make something like the protein bars...which would so hit the spot! they sound delicious - I couldn't stop - the freezer won't stop me...I just make a hot cup of tea and dip..LOL I am very obedient to the call...Yes Master I am coming to get you! mmmm good. So NO big batches of food I have to store and eat all of :-) Most days I can do it...it's just you know that monthly sweet craving that seems to have a life of its own.
My alter-ego is calling I must go now.....coming master, what you want ice cream?? the gallon size??
Don't do it! LOL! I like to make small individual things- itty bitty nut pies, chocolate nut cups, stuff like that. its best not to give in to the big cravings though..
ReplyDeleteI am just trying the chocolate nut cups...they are fast to make! Thank you!
DeleteHow did they work for you?
Deletethey hit the spot! very rich I used natural peanut butter between 2 patties...mmmmm good...only needed to eat 2 and the craving monster went silent...aaahhhhhh :-)
DeleteThat's funny - I used to eat a big snickers bar and a diet coke when I was on my period before BFC.
ReplyDeleteTry 2 squares of dark 86% chocolate and rediwhip in a bowl. Eat a bite of chocolate - then a bite of rediwhip, yada, yada, yada.
That works for me. :-)
We don't have this yummy sounding "rediwhip" treat here I have the day off tomorrow so I should go find this and other things only found on the other side :-) I have my list ready to shop!
DeleteI know how you feel... It's best if I keep high sugar snacks out of the house because I am a binger. When I stick to the dark chocolate and Redi-whip, or crunchy almond butter with Redi Whip, I never over-indulge because the sugar content is lower and it doesn't cause me to crave more. And if I do over-indulge, it's a BFC friendly food. Chin up - you are destined to succeed - I can see your determiniation. Also, if you find that you absolutely must return to the freezer for a snack, have a glass of water in between and wait a half-hour or so between snacks- I bet the craving will be gone. Also, Trina at Empowered Eating reminded me of a post that Amber posted a while back that deals with those times when we feel weak. Here is the link:
