Healthy eaters come in

How do you curb your junk food cravings? I've been on weight watchers for a week and am doing good so far, but I just want some cheese curls lol. Any advice? I've been allowing some indulgences so I don't feel deprived, but maybe I need some more or to just stop being a baby and get over it. Ugh self control is not one of my strengths

    Have you tried using a if you're craving this eat that chart?

    Also, I make it hard for myself to buy junk food. I go grocery shopping after a meal so I will stick to my list. I don't bring cash to work, so I can't buy junk food.

    Right now I don't have much. I was munching on carrots as I was writing the post, pretending they were cheese curls lol. It's just not the same. And I really need to go food shopping now that I'm on WW. I've tried some of those craving foods, but sometimes you just want junk!

    Are you talking about Cheetos? I think they are flammable. Does that help?! Lol.

    Read the ingredient. That usually works!

    OP I am with you on wanting junk food. I haven't been drinking soda and it's still really hard for me. Every time I go to the grocery store and I am in the checkout line I have to stand next to those mini refrigerators with soda in them and it drives me crazy. Okay this might sound silly but it works for me, when I am standing there and really want one I just keep saying to myself: "Think of Ashley, Think of Ashley". I just really want to be healthy for myself and her and try to live a long time for my baby, so I guess I use her as my motivation. That goes for any junk food really, I still buy little things every now and then but I just think of my baby and the fact that I want to be around as long as possible for her. Sorry this sounds so sappy. :-)

    never been on weight watchers but keep healthy snacks on hand.

    I tend to eat smaller versions of my indulges for example today I'm snacking on  pineapple blackbean salsa I made-still healthy just better for you.

    I try to wait a day. If the craving is still there, honor it with 1 serving of the food.

    I am soy and dairy free for DD, so that helps me haha.  Soy is in practically all processed food.  There are some chips I can do though.

    Utz makes sweet potato chips that are really good.  Plus lots of vitamin A! :-)
