I notice everyone gets cravings for food even I do and get confused between hunger and cravings all you gotta do is think when the last time you ate was and decide if you are hungry or just craving food if you are just craving have some water or brush your teeth it worked for me, I hope it works for you.

Hey Everyone! I have lost about 4 pounds in about 3 weeks. I have done all of this just by instead of coming home from school and having like another meal, I get the motivation to exercise. Over this period of time, I have trained myself to resist MOST temptations and also my cravings have praticaly stopped. I thought I was a helpless case. SO to anyone out there trying to lose weight, YOU CAN DO IT IF I DID!!! I am also looking for a weight loss buddy. My email is kittenangel1124@hellokitty.com and I weigh about 175 lbs.

You know what I realized? This might help you guys, I was just thinking and I realized the difference between when I have a craving like...I just want something, or I'm actually hungry. If it's like a craving then it would be like "o I can't wait to eat the burger I'm so hungry!" that's a craving... like... when you're actually hungry I find that I say something like "I'm hungry I wonder what I could eat." I'm not just thinkning I'm hungry becaue I want a burger or something, but I find that when I'm hungry I actually think... what can I eat now that I'm hungry, I'm not just waiting to eat something that I'm craving. I don't know if it's the same for any of you guys but I just thought I would say this because it's helped me tell the difference between when I have just a craving for something, or I'm actually really hungry.

hey i think if u have a craving u should eat some mint flavored gum...like orbit, double mint, etc. i dunno why but it always helps me, b/c i think my brain thinks its real food or somethin..and u can keep it in ur mouth for a really long time! and a good kind that doesnt lose its flavor is orbit!

ya i agree with adding some water. Thats what i do when im hungry for sweets. I drink water (with ice so i can eat the ice.. strange habit of mine lol) and then i dont have the urge to eat ice cream or a few pieces of candy. It works great! i like your plan! Good luck! Ya i have lost 25 lbs since sept (about 3 months) so if u got 6 months to lose 45 lbs, youll do fine ! :-)

To help cut your cravings try chewing gum ,eating ice, or eating fruits and veggies. Also you should eat 3 regular sized meals a day instead of eating chips or junkfood for a snack eat fruits or veggies and drink water instead of pop. Also exercise every day by doing 50 stiups ,50 leglifts,and go up and down the stiars 10 times ( 1 time up and down counts as one)

well, sorry about that first post i clicked on the wrong name when replying but i would suggest that you keep yourself really busy when alone. like start an art project. try to stay away from the tv. or eat my favorite TV snack....cucumbers with lemon juice and salt. it's really really good. and it satisfies my potato chip, carb, cravings. that' what i would suggest. I have the same problem when home alone.

I messed up again...I mean-I'm doing really good with drinking enough water and i have been drinking about 4 cups of green tea, i got up early and did a little tae-bo then walked to school. I had a field trip for stuco and we sat around laughing at this comedian guy that was telling us to be good leaders. Then-sadly-we went to McDonalds adn I order a McRib value meal, and an ice cream sundae-i dont know why but everyone else had ice cream adn i just kinda gave into temptation. I felt really bad afterwards too. How can I resist the temptation i get when i'm around my friends?

It is very hard to resist when all your friends are eating sweets. Here are some suggestions:
1. Are your friends struggling with a weight problem... or at least some of them? If they are, then make a plan to only have a dessert once a week or something.
2. Only have the ice cream when you are with your friends, and not when you go with your family or alone. That only works if you don't go with your friends alot though.
3. If all else fails, bring alot some minty gum or breath mints.... or even your toothbrush and toothpaste. The mint will make the ice cream taste gross, and you won't want it as much.
Good luck!
