cocobutt's Journal, 26 September 2014

I was having a stress melt-down yesterday and told Mr C the only cure was chocolate. So he kindly brought home a 3-truffle pack of Lindt dark chocolate. I scarfed them all down and felt better. But then I looked at the calorie count on the package afterward. 230 calories. Wow. That was a lot more than I would've thought.

He grilled chicken breasts yesterday. Delicious on salad greens.

Took my dog to the park yesterday for a nice romp. The weather is still gorgeous.

If I start thinking about certain treats -- like chocolate or buttermilk popsicles -- I feel the obsessive cravings coming on.

How am I going to fight it today?

If possible, go for a walk, or a bike ride, or rake your lawn - anything that takes you out of the house. Go to the library. If you are out of the house, you can acknowledge the cravings without being in a position to give in. You can make a conscious choice about what you really want to do or not do. And it gives the cravings time to cycle down.

Buttermilk popsicles? Oh my, something new for me to obsess on! Hang in there, and try and swap the craving for something nonfood that is comforting to you.

If you are wanting popsicles and chocolate, try the healthy choice ice cream fudge bars. They are wonderful and only 80 calories a bar!

I second the fudge bars!. Walk one mile to burn off 100 calories.

I eat a square of Lindt 90% cocoa chocolate to stave off those cravings! YUMMY!

I love dark chocolate. I have also used the diabetic, sugar free variety to avoid the sugar buzz.

I make my own chocolate treats with coconut oil hemp hearts and either organic raw cocoa powder or Dark cacao adding whatever flavor stevia in ice cube trays and putting them in the freezer. Good for you, your metabolism and VERY satisfying.
