For the past few weeks I've been craving cupcakes. no icing, just the cake part of it. i don't care at this point what flavor either lol. i have a few reasons why i don't go ahead and eat one.

1. i'm afraid it will get stuck

2. if it doesn't get stuck then i will 'think' i can eat another one

3. i looked at the calories and i about fainted lol

the craving is almost gone. but what do you all do when you crave something? eat it, ignore it or what?

I am so craving homemade piemento and cheese sandwich lightly toasted on white bread with butter and a coke in a glass bottle....

The most important thing is...I did not do it.....I want to but I did not!

pizza (minus the bread) with garlic butter. or chicken alfredo.

I eat it but only a little b/c I've hit my sweet spot.

Iv'e had a bad craving all week for Yellow cupcakes w/chocolate frosting or b-day cake w/icecream. Was at my sisters last weekend for my nephews b-day & not only was there B-B-Q & all the sides but cakes, icecream etc. I did not have any. I picture myself eating some when I am thin and enjoying it even more.

I have been craving dried mangoes. I wake up in the middle of the night craving them so bad.... I have a little sometimes but right now I was a steady 100% diet of them... holy sugar and carbs!

The weirdest thing, a kahlua and coke. Do you guys have kahlua over there? Its such "tart fuel", lol, only bimbos drink it.

I'm a wine drinker, and fancy myself as a bit of a sophisticated one too, lol. I never drink those girlie drinks, but I really want something like that. I think I want the relaxation of acohol but wine can actually be unpleasant to drink now, it burns a little sometimes. I've drunk waaaay too much Baileys too lately. Very fattening!

Im craving for pizza!!! :thumbup:

I am in mushy stage right now. My mother was visiting and wanted to get some stuff from costco. We went during the food promo time and they were baking brownies. OMG the smell nearly killed me. They were sampling their canned chicken breast with mayo which I can have right now. So I did but threw away the cracker. Tasted so good because I make mine with low fat Mayo and they used the real stuff. I did have the pumpkin filling of the pumpkin pie they were sampling. But only one (so about 1 tablespoon) so not that bad.

I had a small dinner party the other day where I made chili (took out my growned turkey and tofu before adding the rest of the ingrediants); and also made nachos. Can I say how badly I wanted to eat those Nacho's really really badly.

For me right now it's more about the textures. On Friday I can start having solid foods like apple! I had really cut down on carbs like crackers, breads, chips before the surgery anyway. But I miss being able to eat carrots and grapes.

Any and all things chocolate, but that is PMS talking. Other than that it is pickles. Yes, I eat the pickles, and I drink the pickle juice.

im badly craving a chicken cheese steak with extra cheese and grilled mushrooms. <3

but i cant have. im on mushies until next monday LOL!

I don't crave sweets really. I am missing pizza, chinese food, fried chicken, hot chicken wings dipped in blue cheese. The cravings go almost as fast as they sneak up on me.

I am craving coconut cream pie! And it's not even a fav of mine. I like it but don't love it. But I'd almost kill for one right now. I"m not gonna do it though! :thumbup:

I'm 5 months post-op and was a HUGE sandwich/taco/french fry lover. At first, it was very difficult to stay away and fight the cravings, but thinking of the foreign object being in your body for a reason helped fight the cravings. It takes 21 days to break a habit. Same with food and cravings. One thing for myself is I don't want the craving to get so bad that I go overboard when I can have, so I have implemented a little bread such as tortillas or whole wheat flat bread. Once a month ONLY. It's worked out, cause this past time eating a taco for Breakfast and flat bread tuna sandwich for dinner(not on same day), I didn't like either and tossed the tortilla/bread aside cause it was too doughy since I chewed the crap out of it to avoid PB.

...to think...I'd eat 2 sandwiches or two tacos for a meal...now 60 lbs lighter. :thumbup:

mmmmmm kahlua....my favorite!!!! love it :thumbup: lol. kahlua chocolate cake, mudslides, B52's, i could go on and on. lol i have 3 bottles of it in the cabinet too. along with other liquor i can't even drink right now.

White Castle... I drive by them every night on my way home..

I crave grilled chicken all of the time. I keep hearing about this restaurant, El Pollo Loco, but we don't have any where I live.
