Cravings!

[wobblybum]

I read on here somewhere that a craving only lasts 5 minutes, shame they start again ever 5 minutes :argh:

The problem is, if cravings last 5 minutes, my will power only lasts for 3 of those!

 

[wobblybum]

im on round 4 of the 5 min craving cycle, its only because im being too lazy and looking on here that i haven't gone on a food hunt yet!

 

[Llamasoks]

Never though that "Carry on being lazy!" would be really good advice! What are you craving?

 

[wobblybum]

lol, jaffa cakes! not hungry as such i just like eating, something repetitive, i know its emotional hunger but it doesnt make it any easier.

 

[Llamasoks]

I'm like that, but not with jaffa cakes. Trying to think of something you could have instead! They're 2 per biscuit I think, so not awful, mind if I brought a pack of something, I don't think I could have just odd few!

 

[wobblybum]

No it would have to be the whole packet, and then i would want something else so best to stay away. I just dont get the same pleasure from grapes.

 

[Llamasoks]

Have you tried frozen grapes? They have an ice cream like texture if you suck them before you bite, like little drops of heaven and a bit crunchy too! I guess you could always do syn free/low syn orange jelly and a tiny bit of chocolate instead of a jaffa!

 

[wobblybum]

ohhh which jelly is syn free??? im going shopping tonight

 

[Llamasoks]

I think the Hartleys sugar free is either free or very low, sorry for the late reply if you've already been shopping!

 

[Siobhmrk4]

Hartleys sugar free jelly is 1.5 syns per sachet.

I hate cravings too. Recently giving up cigarettes doesn't help !
