I want to go home!

This is what happens when you're off for several days in a row. I have less than two hours left at work and I'm dying to leave. I have to clean my house, get my check cashed, and buy dinner. Speaking of food, I began a diet this week. Nothing too crazy, but I've never needed to go on one before and the cravings are killing me. (She says as she reaches for another glass of water).

Anyhow, tonight is




I'm excited. I don't watch much television, but I do enjoy SPN and I'm happy to have something to look forward to despite its darkish tones.

I see a new work request in my inbox, I should be able to kill an hour doing it :D

Depends on what sort of eating plan you are on which could be causing the cravings........is it carbs or sugar or what?
Try Truvia in something for solving a sweet tooth.

I use it in coffee predominantly e.g. today when I met Sandy for coffee at New Seasons. Here at home I whip up a drink of instant coffee, 2% milk and a packet of Truvia. It is great and low calories and it solves craving.
Use Braeburn apples. I eat one after dinner at night which includes no starch. I read where it is best NOT to use any starch at night....just do it during the day
HOWEVER the biggest thing is make certain your breakfast is loaded. THAT is the biggest ploy against craving rest of day.
I eat old fashioned oatmeal, walnuts, raisins, 2% milk, and a packet of Truvia.
I no longer have day time cravings.........
I forget who it was who suggested that breakfast for shoving cravings out the door.
Sending you ********HUGS******** in the battle.

I'm mainly going for calories and more exercise. (Winter here really prevented much walking outside going to work)

I’ve cut out all sodas, snacks, treats. (Which is tough when you work at a Whole Foods Co-Op, what we sale is organic and healthy, but our chefs are constantly leaving food out for us to try).

I drink a ton of water and cut down on the amount of juice I drink, going for unsweet tea. I added a multi vitamin to my diet for things I'm missing and I'm taking a cinnamon supplement to help covert the sugar I do take in

I don't drink coffee and when I do its maybe one cup all day.

I'm going for a big salad at lunch vs. a meat, a side, and a small salad. I have popcorn as a snack at home. I'm counting calories whereas I never did before.

I can't eat a big breakfast, stomach won't tolerate it, and so it's usually a peanut butter sandwich.


Thanks for the tips and hugs!!
