I've lost 5pounds, but want a candy bar - NOW :-(

butterbeansmama

I have been cutting way back. No more soda, no more snacking at work during the day, and smaller portions at dinner time. I have lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks (just weighed myself this morning) - 10 more to go. I am craving a candy bar right now. I need the motivation to talk myself out of it. Why oh why is dieting so darn hard!?!

You probably won't like my answer, but eat the candy bar. For me, denying myself just  leads to bigger problems. Everything in moderation. Having a candy bar today isn't going to be the end of the world. Continue eating right, and next time you really want something bad enough, have it, just don't go crazy.

It's better to have half of it now or even the whole thing instead of having 3 later.  That is how I am with cravings.  Have some and cherish it, just don't do it often!

have a mini candy bar. You'll do nothing but obsess over it if you don't give in to an occasional craving.

Have half today and half tomorrow.  If it wasn't for this dairy free diet, I'd be all over the 100s of candy bars in this house!
