I have the munchies...I already ate a cucumber, and small piece of cheese and a slice of pumpernickle/rye bread. That was my nightime snack...in exchange for dessert. Now, I dont know what I can have. Maybe a sugar free popsicle. And then I better go to bed...otherwise I will want to stay up and munch all night. Maybe a cup of fatfree hot cocoa...or some hot tea.
Trying so hard not to think about the 2 gallon sized bags of Halloween candy on top of the fridge.
Okay...that has passed...guess I will go for the cocoa.
What do yall do to beat the "bad, get yourself in trouble cravings"?
I have a 1/2lb bean & cheese w/rice burrito in the fridge if you want it. I got it thinking I would like it. I opened it up to look to make sure no onions and then it just was not the type of rice I was hoping it would be - white rice. It was the spanish rice EWW!! So... now the dogs will get to have a treat tomorrow
Oh and I also have pumpkin doughnuts! They are good! But one caution... do not eat more than 1 otherwise you will get heart burn and blech it up and it burns on the way up from the spice and cinnimon (sp?)
Oh and to answer your question...
I am WEAK... I give in and eat and eat and eat..... until I am ready to puke. Ok... not all the time just when I have the munchies really bad.
But I like to eat at night around midnight and early morning... screw eating thru the day... that is for the birds LMAO!
Ummmm Pass..and pass.I drink hot tea with Splenda if I get the munchies in the evening.
My daughter brought me a real treat the other day, okra pickles. Now, those are addictive.
Yeah but Deenna they are low cal! Good for you!!!Popcorn is my munchie fighter. I don't mean that gross microwave kind. I make real popcorn with my Stir Crazy, using canola oil and no butter. It fills me up, satisfies the need to crunch something and is a great source of fiber. I probably use more salt than I should but I don't have any other addictions, so. . . (That's a lie, there is the problem I have with chocolate) Anyway POPCORN is the word!
Oh...I had a big diet meltdown today...and I am going to awaken to a renewed will power, but today I am just going crazy. I got on the scale and the 1..5 pound I thought I lost was back...I dont know why but I have been passing up all the good stuff so today I said screw it. I had some candy and then I went out to eat with my kids and got my fried pickles, and baby back ribs.....had to do it...I just ate about a 1/4 block of gouda and I am fixin' to make a PB and banana sandwhich to round it all out. And then I swear...I will eat my own hands before I slip up again untill I hit my first goal which is 14 pounds by Christmas. Okay...so I am gonna tell yall and yall hold me acountable...send me some cooties or something if I even mention another "meltdown".
See, in another post I said I dont cry...I forgot to add that my equivilant of crying is eating. I got into a fight with my husband before he went to work today and I didnt talk to him all day. We usually dont just stay mad...but I was pissed..and wasnt willing to give in and call him. So I ate. But I am going to figure out something else to do when I get mad besides eat. Okay...and yeah...word up..POPCORN!
I didn't used to cry much before RA. For years, you couldn't squeeze a tear out of me. But being on prednisone, the fatigue, the pain makes it hard not to sometimes. There are days you can say "hello" with the very best of intentions and I'll just start crying. I hate it.
That said, tears are spirits of healing. Give yourself the luxury of it once and awhile. When I was going through really terrible stuff, recovering from my second marriage (nightmare), the counsellors said that I needed to cry. There's a saying that "every tear must eventually be shed."
Tears are not a weakness. It's just our bodies, minds and souls letting go --- breathing.
Crunchy~
Most of the time I clean when I am mad. We will be arguing and I will be cleaning at the same time lol. If I am not up to cleaning (which is the case lately) I play Tetris. I am a Tetris addict. Or I blog. Helps to get those feelings and emotions out.
It is good to cry. I had a total meltdown last night right after my hubby got in the car when I picked him up from work. I felt sooooooooo much better. My make up was trashed (we went out for a little bit last night) but I didn't care. If you don't want to cry or break down in front of the kids or hubby...I do it in the shower. No one can hear you. What Deanna said is so right. Every tear must eventually be shed. I am still grieving the loss of my dad and will still cry about it. It does help me to let go.
I dont cry either. cant figure out why not, I swear I sure have earned it
Anyway when I've got the munchies, I start with a nice cup of coffee with french vanilla creamer. I move on to an apple.. If its really bad I will melt a couple of ounces of cheese, (muenster) in the microwave, add a ton of garlic powder and eat that.
Once in a while I make cheap pate..liverwurst and cream cheese and eat that on a crackers.
Wow Kathy, you must be travelling in a different crowd that I am - Pate?
