What are some ideals on getting rid of cravings

I just stopped buying junk foods and candy. Not having it around makes it so much easier. As long as it's in the house, you'll be tempted to eat it all. Like many other addictions, once you've stopped consuming it, over time you lose the craving for it. Try replacing unhealthy snacks with things like fruits (fresh and dried) and trail mix.

mmmm.... i have the same craving! its so very hard to resist theses chocolates... but since i dont want to get fat anymore i try not to eat them or to buy any kind of chocolates! just dont eat chocolates cause once you pop you cant stop.....

I admit to being a chocoholic and have to have my daily "fix". This weekend has been pretty bad as for Easter it is everywhere so I also overindulged. I have not seen it, so far, to be detrimental to my health but I do ration myself to a certain amount each day. I have found Dove sugar free chocolate candies to be delicious and not add unwanted calories.

In my case I drink lots of water so that my stomach would feel full. I think that it would be good to indulge from time to time and succomb to our cravings. As long as you don't do it everyday and do some exercises to burn all those calories, then no need to worry.

Sounds like a good addiction to me. I also love to eat sweets.

One way to stop cravings is not to deprive yourself of them for too long. I love chocolate so I allow myself a small piece every day so I don't succumb to eating a whole bag. I would tell you to each something healthy, but that won't stop your craving any way. The other thing you could do is not keep it in the house. If you have to go out of your way to satisfy your craving, then you might just forget it altogether.

Chocolate is addicting because it creates endorphins that make us feel good. So, just like any addiction, the only way to break away from it is to stop putting into your body. Simple, but not so easy. First you need to define the problem. Is chocolate causing problems for you? If not, don't worry about it. Just limit your intake to reduce the amount of refined sugars in your diet. If it is causing problems, then you may want to kick the habit. Women seem to be more affected by chocolate than men. So there must be a hormonal aspect somewhere. I don't know for sure. I'm a chocolate addict. I take spells of avoiding it. And then there are the binges. Moderation isn't possible with a true addict. It is all or nothing!

Do you talk back to them when it is calling.. Bridgette.........? :) If not, then you are just a normal chocolate loving woman. I like the water recommendation. It works for me. Plus, I crave chocolate more at one time of the month than any other. I NEED it at that time, if you know what I mean. So it helps me pass it up at other times in order to allow myself all that I need when the time comes. It is a mental game I play with myself. I know that. But don't get between a woman and her chocolate.
