When I did WW I found that Lemonade cured my cravings for chocolate! Don't know why. The other thing I always think about is-- my leader used to say if you think you are hungry, drink a glass of water, wait 20 minutes and if you are still hungry then eat. Being thirsty and hungry can at times give you the same feelings.

Congratulations!!! Way to go!!!

To stop cravings, I've been drinking a mint/green tea when I get hungry and if 20-30 minutes later I still want something to eat I have it. They say green tea helps boost the ammune system and metabolism, so I just keep telling myself all for better health!

I'm also journaling:
what I eat
when
where
how I'm feeling: hungry, bored, sad, mad, stressed

I think this has helped me keep from reaching for a snack!

Good for you Suzanne! We are here to support you, I know I need it as well. Can you work out? If you can, that will help you curb your appetite as well. I find if I am hungry at night, I work out and that helps me a) either have a low fat snack or ice cream later or 2) it stops the craving once I get to sweating and raising my heartrate. Let me know if you need anything!!
