Cravings!

Its that time of the month and I am being bombarded by cravings for pastries! There are 2 Moonpies and some Twinkies in the vending machine downstairs that have been taunting me for 3 days! AND there is a tray full of fresh pastries from Atlanta Bread company in the breakroom. I haven't tried any sugar becasue I just KNOW I don't dump and If I open that door I am DOOMED. Lord, give me strength!

1 Corinthians says, "No temptation has seized you except that which is common to man, but God is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear, but when you are tempted He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it." Girlfriend the best way to not be tempted is to avoid it...flee girl flee....grab a cheese stick, cottage cheese w/SF jam, something healthy. The temptation isn't the crime....the following through on the temptation is. I will pray for you to make a good choice and that the vending machine breaks (smile). In Him, Joan M

Thanks Joan! Prayer works!! I was provided TWO ways out! The vending machine lady came and changed out all the snacks. The moonpies and twinkies are gone! I just had part of a protien bar after my chili for lunch and that killed the sweet craving. YUCK! So now I want NOTHING to do with any pastries. What a finicky pouch... Now lets hope this lasts.

Good for you Girl!!! See the Lord does want us to be victorious! We just have to seek and ask and He will answer and show us what to do or not to do. Girl and when you get on the scale there will be NO CONDEMNATION. I am having a good day too. Took vitamins, had protein shake and had bean soup (1/2 C) for lunch. Gettng ready to have popsicle before I go do the crossing guard job. We finished homeschool for the day andI am beat! But happy! Joan

PLease don't talk about cravings!!! I am pulling my hair out over them ( at least the hairs that HAVEN'T FALLEN OUT!!!!!!!) It is my time of the month as well and I am usually a chocoholic during this time!!!!!! I have been chomping at the bit all day!!!!!! Yesterday, was an absolute nightmare. I was so ill and mean yesterday. It was like I had no control over myself. I don't know what is going on, but it has to stop!!! Melissa

We must be hanging around each other too much. We are on the same cycle. No cramps, no meanness (I think the 40g of Prozac helped that out a bit) just cravings. The powercrunch protien bar helped my cravings. Actually I am so disgusted with the triple chocolate ones, I think I just made myself nauseous instead of actually satisfying the craving! SO my advice is - Eat something good for you that is chocolate and sweet that you are just sick and tired of. Got anymore Isopure dutch chocolate protien drink? Kathy

I do have some Isopure and I haven't had any in a while. Maybe I will make a shake!! I am trying to be good and if I don't do something quick, I may eat my weigh in frozen fudge pops!!!!!! Melissa

"That time" here, too. I have become FAR too regular in that department since surgery! Count me in for the chocolate/sugar cravings. I'm not about to eat one of those Cookies & Cream Power Crunch bars in my pantry though. I'm going to have some leftover strip steak I grilled last night, and hope the protein takes care of ALL my problems today! (Wishful thinking!) Glad the vending lady came along a removed those temptations for you! Dawn

OMGosh. hahahaha Ive got mine too!! thats crazy, I think everyone who was at the meeting monday night started?!?! lol!! thats hilarious.. Lets hope this time doesnt last the 3 weeks like it did the day it started the day of surgery! ugh! I have an IUD, and i hardly ever bleed for longer than 4-5 days, and the 3 weeks killed me! but thats funny how were all the same time Jen

Ok, this is too funny!!! We are all cycling together!!! Well, it certainly is reassuring to know that I'm not the only one having difficulties today. I hope you all are having a better day than I am...cuz mine really SUCKS today!!!! Oh Kathy, I tried the Isopure. Not really what I was looking for!! Thanks for trying though. I am just having one of those days where nothing and I mean NOTHING is going to satisfy me. I am being that difficult!!!! Melissa
