Need some will power

[berry99]

Tonight I have to go to the mall after work and of course I am already hungry. I am not really going for anything fun either. I have to buy a strapless bra to wear under a bridesmaid dress and I am just dreading it. All I have been thinking about all day are those yummy soft pretzels from Auntie Anne's!

I don't need one right???? I feel like I have no control right now. ARGH!

Karin, I'm a HUGE fan of those pretzels with some mustard. I'll take one of those over a Cinnabon any day. You should have eaten something clean so you wouldn't be hungry and weak. Oh well! One pretzel isn't gonna kill ya.:9

Karin, I'm so sorry you're in that spot! It's quadruple hard to resist when you've been fantasizing about some food or other all day long...

Is taking along a bottle of water an option? I find if my hands are already full of something to put in my mouth it makes the stop seem less practical...

But I agree with Smoogy, one isn't going to kill you. Or, just have half! :9

I love those pretzles too!!! Pop a piece of gum in your mouth as soon as you get there.

A craving for junk food for me indicates that I've been eating too many carbs or have had too many glasses of wine. Look at what you ate for breakfast and for lunch and you will probably see that you ate something with too much white flour or sugar in it. Try to stick with complex carbs and more protein for breakfast and lunch and you can avoid those carb cravings.
