We can't give up completely the things we love but we can learn to manage them. I want that strawberry pie receipe.

It shows everyone reading your post that this journey is about sometimes giving in to our desires, but at the same time reining those desires back in to a managable level!

That said, I've been searching for something I can eat when I get cravings - something instead of a Fuddrucker cheeseburger or ribs from Country Buffet or ice cream or snickers bars. I haven't found anything that I can keep at home and eat at least once a day and that's healthy. <BR/><BR/>An avocado comes close but I usually add onion and garlic powder to it and have to it with chips. But that doesn't cover my craving for sweets.<BR/><BR/>When I crave ribs, I put a pot roast in the crockpot with barbque sauce and usually that will satisfy me if the roast is fatty enough. Kinda defeats the purpose.<BR/><BR/>I just don't know<BR/><BR/>Vee at www.veegettinghealthy.blogspot.comVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00530474939705680159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590003896764652039.post-13425522638222636782009-03-17T09:22:00.000-04:002009-03-17T09:22:00.000-04:00I'm impressed that you can keep an open bag of coo...I'm impressed that you can keep an open bag of cookies in the house and you can enjoy them moderately.

Its what 'normal'people do. But i really don't think i'm normal. Or ever will be. I'am definaely addicted to sweets. And i do much better when i remove them entirely from my diet. Whenever i do give in on say a special splurge day i have a terrible 2 - 3 days getting my taste buds and cravings back under control. So i find it best to just leave it alone. <BR/> Doing what your doing for me would just be playing with fire. And i would get burned. However saying that i think your way is the healthier way. The more sane way. I just couldn't do it.

I made peanut butter, peanut butter & chocolate chips and oatmeal cookies. I also made 24 french vanilla cupcakes. I am not really tempted. I had a cookie today. I think slowly my taste buds are changing. I do believe that you shouldn't deprive yourself of sweets every once in awhile. I love salty stuff also. I think I will try roasting some almonds. I do love almonds but haven't bought any in awhile.

If it works long-term, that's great. If it doesn't, you get to choose what's next.

That is kind of what I'm trying to do, but right now I don't trust myself to have something IN the house. I'm going to relegate it to controlled splurges (within reason) at restaurants for now. <BR/><BR/>Kudos to you though!My Big Fat Super Super Obese Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772497057912033696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590003896764652039.post-49402688946504238222009-03-16T10:49:00.000-04:002009-03-16T10:49:00.000-04:00I'm usually not a sweet eater, but when I'm calori...I'm usually not a sweet eater, but when I'm calorie counting, I seem to crave a sweet treat. I, too, have used the 100 cal. packs, but they are a tool of the devil, I think. One is too little, and an entire box it too much. I try and indulge only once a week. But as you know, it ain't easy.VRaz60https://www.blogger.com/profile/02458018758313863664noreply@blogger.com
