<p>So i’m on break, and since I was in school I began having the weirdest cravings for junk food. I did lose a lot of weight (ten pounds) while at school. And, now that I’m home I want to go crazy. Like here are my cravings…</p>
<p>Pepperoni Pizza
Hamburgers
Fries
Oreo’s
Vanilla Ice cream
Dorito’s
Oreo’s + Vanilla Ice Cream + Milk to make an Oreo milkshake
Snapple
Everything in Popeye’s and McDonals.</p>
<p>I want all this now, and its killing me. I know I can’t be the only person who gets cravings during break. Its been happening on every break now, and its getting out of control. But, I want these things SO bad. My family thinks I’m nuts 'cause I want all of these at once -_-</p>
<p>Treat yourself to one of those things a day, and try to keep yourself busy. I don’t know about you, but I find that I want to eat more if I get bored.</p>
<p>Don’t buy any of those and fill up the pantry.
Make a bargain with yourself…
I will workout/exercise for an hour then allow myself to go to the grocery store to buy a SINGLE serving of one of my cravings.</p>
<p>Thin feels better than all that junk food tastes.
You don’t want to go back heavier than before the break.
Vanity will help curb your appetite.</p>
<p>If you wanna get serious about it, set some fitness goals and count your calories. If you have specific goals to work for, you won’t be so inclined to give in</p>
<p>I’d try eating something healthy every time you have that kind of craving. Either some fruit or at least something like a Kashi granola bar. Often times, cravings are triggered by something. If you can start associating those triggers with healthier foods then maybe you’ll stop craving junk food. </p>
<p>At least, that’s the logic behind fighting cigarette cravings (which I’ve had to deal with these past few weeks as I quit). When you get triggered, either ignore the craving by realizing it’s only lasting for a couple of minutes or replace the cigarette with something like gum or hard candy.</p>
<p>I’ve read that when you crave something, you’re craving things with nutrients and whatever that you’re missing. You look like you’re craving a lot of meat and dairy products. Why not have something protein and dairy rich with the Snapple?</p>
<p>Actually, I got those cravings BAD sitting in the dorm, on my ass, doing nothing. I’d get bored and all of a sudden be like, “Fries sound really good right now,” even when I wasn’t really all that hungry. It doesn’t happen at all at home (even when I’m bored) but knowing that all of those sugary/fried/high-calorie/high-fat things were just a hop, skip, and a jump away since it was literally next door to my dorm…temptation like no other.</p>
<p>Although lately, I have been drinking a lot of Iced Tea Crystal Light. That -ish is freaking fantastic.</p>
<p>Yea. I didn’t eat any of those things. But I have been eating less than I used to. Like lately, I’ve only eaten once or twice a day, and drink homemade fruit smoothies. Those seem to fill me up a lot. The funny thing is, my school has all of those items, and I never eat them because they suck. Bad school food, made be lose so much weight because I had to survive on coffee and snacks for three months straight ( so unhealthy).</p>
<p>It’s a lot easier to buy a hamburger than just a burger patty.</p>
<p>I’ve going into Burger King before and have ordered the double cheeseburger, no bun. They punch it up and give me a plastic container with two cheeseburger patties, ketchup and pickles unless I ask them to skip the ketchup and pickles.</p>
<p>This makes for good diet food.</p>
<p>I lost 45 pounds last year so I should know.</p>
