Do you ever find yourself just HAVING to have something? I hadn't had a grilled cheese sandwich in forever and decided to fix one the other day for a quick lunch. Yum, it was awesome and just what I needed! Today I'm getting that craving again, and I'm not sure if a grilled cheese will fill the urge, or do I want to go all out and warm the oven and fix cheese toast. So ... what are YOU craving today?

I was craving tomato soup and grilled cheese last Saturday, but didn't have any soup. Well I went to the store today and stocked up, so I am looking forward to it tomorrow for lunch.

Now that food has been brought up and me thinking about it. I could really go for Red Lobster right now. Yes, a nice juicy lobster tail soaked in melted butter. Thanks a lot ldyjarhead.*smiling*

Gee, Chey, you don't half-step do you? You go all the way! Tell you what - I'll pick up some fresh lobster and fix it for you myself. MUCH getter than Red Lobster (and a lot cheaper too).

Yeah, when I crave something it's normally something way out there, sorta like when I dream. Why waste it on something small. *laughing* Oh wow, lobster at your place. I am so there. What time should I be there?

Well, I try to limit bread, but a little while ago I was hungry and craving "something" but not sure what. Then a friend of ours stopped by- he owns a few Subway's here and I decided that sounds really good! So, I tried talking hubby into going to get one for me but he wouldn't. I have been out once already this morning in the snow and cold and I don't want to go again...sigh.

Well pooh on him for not going for you (or was he thinking merely of your health?) :) Its still cold here and snowed this morning to boot, so I'm not venturing out either.

Oh Marie Anne! Do you have to GO there?!! LoL! You must know I'm on a BIG diet from my Weight Loss blog! :) I absolutely luv grilled cheese, but I have to have it with MAYONNAISE & sliced tomato inside & some salt on top! YUMMMYYY! I just finished eating an "Eating Right" low fat meal (kind of like Lean Cuisine). I've lost 20 pounds as of today! :) To really answer your question now... I really DO get all kinds of cravings... sometimes I really have to have something but am not always sure WHAT it is I want! That's the most frustrating because then I start eating & realize that it wasn't what I wanted, so I go find something else & something else, etc. etc! But, of course, most times I know I'm either craving CHOCOLATE or something crunchy or salty. On this diet it seems to be chocolate (well that's all the time really - LoL) & crunchy things like chips (bbq especially - yum!). I have found some lower fat chips & I also have come to enjoy soy crisps. I hope you found what you were craving!

Wow Jill you lost 20lbs, that is awesome, you are doing great. Oh and Hi welcome to Mylot, I always crave chocolate it is my one true down fall.

Wow, 20 lbs? Good for you! I've gained everything back I lost last year (12-15) and I just can't get motivated to do it anymore. The weather sucks and I don't even have room here to do aerobics or anything. I'm sooo ready for good weather! Ok, back to cravings. Oh yes, there's always chocolate, and of course the chips and such. Sweet and salty are what's craved the most, and its those things, not the actual chips or whatever that we crave. I think its natural. I hope you're enjoying yourself here!

I'm craving Chinese food, which I will buy if my check comes. I'm also wanting sushi, which I will buy when I go to the library and run around Amherst on Monday.

I started thinking about this a little too much. I'm craving pizza again. I also wouldn't mind a grilled cheese, but have to have tomato soup with it. The thing is, when I crave something and don't eat that specific thing, I eat all kinds of other stuff trying to get rid of the craving.

I know that feeling well! When I get started with A craving, it rarely stops there. That's the way I've been feeling the last two days. Wanting to eat everything that isn't nailed down.

Yesterday I had a pizza craving and spent a lot of money satisfying that craving. The good news is that most of the left over pizza will freeze for later. And since my daughter loves pizza, a few of her meals are already taken care of.

At the moment I am not craving anything, but the thing that I end up craving the most is Beef Jerky. I love the stuff. Earlier this week it was granola bars. I started a discussion a few days ago about it. I bought a bunch and I was eating a few every day. It seemed like it was all I was eating. Last week it was yogurt.

Isn't if funny how we can go in spurts like that? Mmmm, I love jerky too, but its too expensive. I'll eat the whole bag in a minute or two, so there goes 4 bucks.

Hmmm, double dutch ice cream? I've never heard of that. Is that a type of ice cream or the brand name or what? Butter is good on EVERYTHING, isn't it?

I tend to crave sweet things such as candy, doughnuts, cookies, cake, etc. Sometimes I crave bread type products too.

I crave food with the nutrition that I need at that moment! The comfort foods I crave include those from my childhood, those that I ate while visiting family since it was not too often that we saw each other. Pierogies, especially sauerkraut, eggrolls, grilled cheese, raviolis, pizza, cherry pie, minestrone soup are all good memories!

Ilove grilled cheese sandwichs but sometimes I crave a hot pizza with lotsof cheese and olive and pepperoni even though I am surethis is not exactly what a person with diabetes should eat I still sometimes crave it with lots of ooey gooey cheese in the topping. That and a slice of cheese cake real new york style.
