Guilty for wanting the forbidden

I have been craving the forbidden carb for a while now. My doc only allows me 9 carbs per day which is my small veggie at dinner with my main protein. I just want 1 fry or a dinner roll, but I have been so commited to this diet that I don't dare cheat. How to I satisfy this craving without cheating? And the worse part is I am not allowed carbs in numbers untill I am at 75% of my weight loss which is another 45 pounds. Not too long but the more I lose the slower it comes off now. This could take a while. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Debbie

Hi Debra, Don't continue to beat yourself up for craving a past favorite food. When I have a thought about wanting an unforbidden food I ask myself..... Do I want what comes with eating that particular food ( the added weight and the way that food makes me feel). I know I have much more energy now than I used to when eating the wrong food so I use that as motivation. I always try to turn a negative to a positive. Don't know if this will help you but I know it helps me. Good luck. Melody

9 carbs a day???? I would have a problem too. I would talk to the dr and dietician again and make sure that is for real.

I've asked the nut and doc several times and yes this is for sure. They say the more you have the more you crave . I know I am having under that but am still craving it. Hope it subsides soon. Thanks and it never hurts to ask again. 3 times may be the charm? Debbie
