Hi! I don't usually make threads very often but I thought I'd ask some advice. I'm having trouble keeping my food cravings in order. I know it's ok to have 'bad' food every now and again but certainly not everyday. I was wondering how you deal with your food cravings? I'm not overweight at all, in fact I've lost a bit of weight but I just can't get rid of these cravings. I guess it's been made worst because I've recently given up smoking too. Any help?

force yourself to eat something healthy first and then if you are still hungry for whatever you were craving before it won't be so bad if you give in and have a small amount/one serving size of whatever it is

when I have a naughty craving, I try to drink a large glass of water and go for a walk, after that I reward myself with a tiny bite of whatever it was I was craving and throw the rest of it away

it's not easy and it doesn't always work

try brushing yr teeth
and i have found healthy alternatives for cravings.. so if i'm craving chocolate or cheesecake or something really badddd i have muesli with honey & raspberries & it's seriously fuckin delicious. otherwise i start drinking
or try force yourself to eat fruit - i've been doing this lately, it's made a difference

it's ok to snack as long as it's on healthy food like fruit or nuts or seeds. brushing your teeth is a good idea, i hate eating after i've just brushed my teeth!
