Hi there! I know exactly what you're going through; I still get the cravings everytime b/f eats steak or ice cream
There are four things I can do to feel better:
1) Remind myself that cheating will make me feel HORRIBLE and food is not worth that.
2) Take my mind off of it by doing something fun or relaxing. The more you think about food, the worse you will feel about it. I have read that it's better to plan your meals out for the week so that you don't have to worry about them.
3) Make myself a yummy, safe treat. Sugar is what I use when I'm craving no-no foods. I like Nerds candy Chinese is also good for me - I really love Chicken Chow Mein.
4) Experiment with cooking. I don't know if you like to cook. I do, but I'm not very good at it But if you check out the recipe boards and cookbooks, you can make all sorts of delicious foods that will satisfy cravings.
Eventually, the cravings will either pass or you will find ways to control them. For now, remember what it feels like to feel good, and try to be strong And go ahead and complain here about all those nasty "normal" people that get to clog their arteries with those yummy fats!
