Alright folks! I need to know how YOU deal with head hunger? I've done really well up to this point and haven't struggled with it too much but I'm finding that, especially at certain times of the month, with hormone fluctuations and all, I'm having terrible cravings. Add to that the fact that the stores now have their Easter candy stocked and I'm really struggling now! I LOVE Easter candy! Sweet-Tarts Jelly Beans, Peeps, Chocolate covered marshmallow bunnies, Cadbury eggs......YUM! I don't want to give in and have any of those things because I'm afraid I won't stop eating them once I start but how do I stop these cravings? Help!!!

I'm would like to know this also I'm struggling bad for the last 2 weeks!

i drink alot and this seems to help me.......and stay busy...(plenty of things to do besides eat) but if truly hungry, eat something.....

Okay. I know it's not healthy, bad, not what your dr. Would recommend, etc..

Every once in a while I NEED to eat junk. I then eat a small breakfast, small or no lunch...then...I will have a small ice cream, with caramel syrup, Heath chips, and sprinkles., skip dinner and go to bed early. Next day is like it never happended. Back on track. I just have a small amount of guilt but I am able to do what's best for me again without candy thoughts swimming around my head. Remember, this only happens once in a blue moon.

I always go in the kitchen and pick up an apple. Then I ask myself, "if you are truly hungry, go ahead and eat this apple." 9 times out of 10, I put the apple down and leave the kitchen. I have to also distract myself. Also, drinking a hot cup if coffee staves off my head hunger. I go not keep any cookies, ice cream, chips, etc in my house. I'll either eat that apple or convince myself I'm really not hungry! Good Luck figuring out what works for YOU!

I will drink more as well. Particularly coffee or tea both hot. That usually fills me right on up.
