Never thought I would be the type of person to crave lunch meat in the middle of the night... but I suppose my body is telling me something.

Yeah, probably" Let's go make a snack" at least it isn't a big chunk of Chocolate layer ?.

Yeah... I started eating Nuts like it was the Zombie Apocalypse and I'd never see them again ?. I *forced* myself to slow down but it was a problem for a while...

I like this thread !

Thank goodness you're craving lunch meat and not cake. ? I received some bad news yesterday and started to comfort myself by eating a donut, but I took one bite and didn't like it, so I'm really glad I didn't follow through with the bad habit of using food and I'm glad I didn't like the taste anymore.

I'm craving either plain ol chocolate or salty pretzels. Nuts help with the pretzel craving but haven't figured out how to deal with the chocolate craving yet!

Could you stir a pinch of cocoa and some stevia into some yogurt?, the vanilla usually enhances the chocolate,taste. That's the first thing that comes to mind, I think maybe Hershey might make a sugar-free syrup, I know Smuckers makes a diet version of their caramel ice cream topping, so why wouldn't a big place like Hershey/Reese Cups do the same?

Hershey's does make a sugar-free syrup and it's only 5 calories per TBSP. I keep it in my house to help get me through those chocolate cravings. Not going to lie...I have gotten a tablespoon and squirted the syrup into that and just eaten it out of the measuring spoon. The chocolate struggle is real.

I still just want a freaking SALAD!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crunchy, savory, yummy salad!

Other than a tootsie pop at a basketball game, I have not had a sweet since prior to pre-op diet. Oddly, I crave salty/spicy almost entirely. Tried to eat pho....epic fail. couldn't get much at all down the hatch!

Yep! So grateful I am craving meat and not junk food! Very weird though.

I have been craving salad also. I went out out with a few friends yesterday and one ordered this salad that looked amazing! I was actually jealous of her salad. I am way too nervous to try any though.

Yeah, this time it wasn't a "You need comfort yourself" craving. My body woke up with a mission was like "You need to eat some meat now!"

I find that Hershey's sugar free syrup tastes terrible. Ive tried making hot chocolate with it but am disappointed everytime

Have not tried nuts yet but have eaten some popcorn, realized it was a slider and am now refusing to buy popcorn for my apt lol

I apologize to everyone for the spam of responses all at once! My life has been a hectic mess lately!

But it has got to turn around and get better! Brand New Month, Brand new challenges, but YOU can meet them and win the War!

Make sugar free hot cocoa: 1 cup milk (fairlife to get more protien), 1TBL unsweetened cocoa, 1 packet sugar substitute of choice, a drop of vanilla, and a teeny tiny bit of salt. Made with fairlife milk: 92 cal, 14g protein, 9g carbs, 1g fat

I'm craving veggies. I don't have enough room to get my protein and eat many veggies. I used to have a big ol' veg stir fry for dinner and salad for lunch on most days and I miss both.
