WOW that looks REALLY REALLY good!!! Well I gave in to my craving today - I'm sure PMS has to do w/ this but I have been craving high fat carbonara (Which i never ever eat) - i mean I probably haven't had that stuff for like 10 years. And why am I craving it because Christmas week I went to my friends house and they had it and I did not eat it!!!! Anyway I did have a cup of it. But I did this on the weekend when I'm soooo active that I burn like 3600-3700 calories a day (per my bodybugg). So I found out I can actually eat Pasta. hmmm... I better take my blood sugar med (metformin) cuz usually it helps this sort of craving.

I'm with the crew who says to just get what you want and enjoy it. Don't buy a big quantity, but you can certainly have a piece of chocolate or two once in a while!

No need to feel deprived or have some poor substitute that's not going to do the trick!

Enjoy!
