Wow.. Made it through!! It was a rough weekend! I was on the edge for a while there :P I wanted to binge SOOO BAD!! I wanted FRIED CHICKEN!!! Not just any fried chicken, I wanted Popeye's I wanted KFC, I wanted the whole bucket!! So I googled what my cravings meant... and from the results..figured I needed some fat.. so, I added some Avocado to my dinner... That cured the chicken cravings.. but I wanted MORE!!! I wanted to feel STUFFED!!! I didn't binge, but I did use half my extra weekly WW allotment to eat a Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate bar that I dipped in Peanut Butter (2 TB) with some Vanilla Flavored Almond Milk. I'm telling you, this is sometimes harder than when I quit smoking. But.. Just as I did that.. I can do this!! Today, things are much better. It seems that just absolutely have to have some foods every day, such as hard boiled eggs and almonds, and my body remains satisfied. I haven't had my eggs in a few days cause I didn't go shopping. Boiling them up tonight!

you are MUCH stronger than me. I have the cravings.....eat anything but what started it and end up with more calories than if I just went and had what I was craving! Now, the follow-up with ALOT of movement to counter act the extra calories is key for me!

I dunno about interpreting cravings. I mean, an alcoholic craves the numbness, the crack addict craves the high. We're food addicts here, so we really have to determine if we're actually hungry or if we're bored, stressed, depressed, antsy, etc. If I'm jonesing for gummy cherries, I take myself for a walk, and I find that it passes.

Thanks all! :) There are quite a few articles regarding what the body needs when we get cravings. It's been only recently that I've tried to avoid the 'bad foods' (for lack of a better term) and use these articles to make better choices. Sort of an "eat this instead of that" for satisfcation. Is my body craving fat, craving iron, what does it actually want.... besides fried chicken... ?
