New here..
Hi everyone :wave:
I have been LC since 6/15/02, on and off. I am having such a hard time trying to take these last 9 pounds off. My husband is doing real good on it. (he loves all the foods) Not me I don't eat eggs. (unless they are in cake :D ) My biggest problem is at night. I crave sweets or something salty. I stay up late. If I could only go to sleep early. Ana |
Welcome to the board Ana! :wave:
The last few pounds can be the hardest to loose :( I found that often times when I craved things at night time it was because I was "used" to having something then - I wasn't necessarily hungry. Is there anything particluar you have every day for dinner that might be trigger this? |
Dont know if this will help or not, but I have found that having a bit of sugar free jello in the fridge helps with those sweet cravings for me with absolutely no carbs! I have never been a night eater, but since I started Atkins, for some reason i do get those cravings at night. Hope this helps a bit!?!?
Happy Holidays! Lisa |
night cravings
Hi Talon,
Regardless of what I have for dinner, after 9:00PM, I always crave sweets. But I think that you are right about "USED"to having something then. I have gotten in the habit of always snacking at night. How can I break this BAD habit? Thanks for your quick reply. Ana |
Re : Jello
[
Hi Lisa, I make sugar free jello about 4 times a week. But that does not curb my cravings for sweets. I sometimes can eat 3 or 4 servings of Jello and whipped cream a night. My husband tells everyone that I have more than ONE sweet tooth. :p Ana |
For me breaking the habit was the hardest part. The first night will be the hardest. You have to just tell yourself that you are really and truly NOT hungry - and do not go near the kitchen! Myt houghts when I tried this:
Will it kill or harm you NOT to have it? Nope Will life as you know it cease to exist? Nope Will I feel horrible if I give in? Yep Will I feel wonderfully proud of myself tomorrow if I don't give in? Yep! |

Thanks to you and others great people trying to better their health. :thup: I go to Jo-ann's Fabric store in Florence all the time. And to BW3's with friends, when UK college basketball team plays.

Small world! I am not going anywhere near there today - the Mall is going to be crazy. I need to go to the Petsmart down that way - but I think I will hold off until Saturday or so. :) |
