Smelling food!!

[celtic***erin]

As a mother to fairly young children, I quite often have to open packets on chocolate bars etc :sigh: Now, I know I may sound a bit nuts, but I find that smelling the food gives me some weird relief from the cravings that I have for it! Does anyone else do this? Or am I really just the nutty Irish gal that my friends think I am!! :silly:

I hope you are not mad as I do the exactly same thing! I have really got into cooking and being around food knowing I'm not tempted makes me feel impowered or I am trying to punish myself lol

a lot of people do but for some reason it doesnt help me at all it just makes me feel hungrier

Thanks guys, I really did think I might be losing the plot there! My boys laugh at me so much when I am there sniffing away at one of their chocolate bars , But it really does help me lol. :8855:

don't you find the choc bars smell even more sweet and sugary now you are't eating them

 

[celtic***erin]

They sure do! how I long just to have a big bite!!

Tell me about it my boss come back from his holiday and bought me a massive bar of spanish chocolate! As he doesn't know I'm on this diet he was surprised I didn't scoff it down in 2 minutes like I would normally do. I just said thanks I will have it later. It took all my willpower and it is still in my drawer at work under lock and key!!!

I totally agree with you sniffing food is lovely staves of the cravings

 

[LovelyLauren]

I sniff EVERYTHING!!! so much so i will just casually take something off my OH, sniff it and hand it back, an neither of us so much as blinks haha
