I am so ashamed of myself. I cannot stop cheating off of heather's diet suggestions. I dont' know what to do. I constantly crave the things I know I can't have. My biggest downfall is that I work at a hotel and we serve amazing rolls for breakfast. As soon as I walk into the office the smell is so fantastic that I open the box and plan my evening snack. No matter how many times i tell myself, "Leah, you don't need that. You will get sick. It's so fatening! Don't eat that!" it just doesn't work. I end up eating it and feeling remorse afterwards. Can anyone give me suggestions on how to curb my cravings? Any delicious safe snacks that you have that I can bring to work with me? HELP!!!

Please read posts about cheating at http://www.helpforibs.com/messageboards/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=diet&Number=319451&fpart=&PHPSESSID=
I understand your having cravings. Today I keep craving Russian sausage. Maybe you can allow yourself cheat sometimes but not all the time. Make a deal with yourself.
Good luck.

Try baking some nice delicious snacks that you can take with you - yummy banana bread, oatmeal muffins, even chocolate cake. There are TONS of safe recipes on this website and in Heather's book.
I have a huge weakness for croissant rolls, so I know how you feel. But the trick is to find something else that is just as good! Right now I'm enjoying sourdough english muffins with a little bit of low-fat, dairy-free margerine, and so far, so good!

Taking 12g of Acacia per day. Relatively stable since March 2008!

Thanks for your suggestions. I'll try that, making a deal. Like if I eat this, then I can't eat that. Or if I don't eat it today, I can eat it tomorrow. Is that what you mean? I also read those other posts about cheating and I don't feel so bad about not following super strictly. Thanks for the help!

I definitely cheat, but only in small amounts. I'll have a small piece of chocolate or a little cheese or something. Small amounts (and not too many of them) don't bother me much, and it is tough to deprive yourself of things you enjoy! If small amounts of stuff do bother you a lot though, I would suggest trying to find good replacements.
