I'm having a bad day today. In general though I'm good I don't eat salty foods or meat, etc but I can't keep away from chocolate. I'm good in the day but by the evening i can't help it!
I'm going to be really good tomorrow! Does anyone else have this problem?
STOP... WALK AWAY... IT HAS POISIN IN IT... THE CAT PEED ON IT...
I went nuts for a few days on very bad foods... I told myself one meal wouldn't hurt but it did and I was very bad for almost 4 days. Eating tons of food and very bad boy foods.
I just tell myself that I am killing my daughter and it works for me... I made lunch for the kids and then ate some lovely girl friendly foods. I am doing so much better at psyching myself out.
We all can eat tons of chocolate when we are preg and holding our baby girls.
Oh thanks. Tomorrow is another day I am going to say that about killing my daughter to myself it might help! I think I might post my daily food on here it might make me be better behaved!
It helps me to right a menu on the frig so I can be reminded when and what I get to eat next. After the first few days it got easier and after a few weeks I was in total control. But finally only 1 mth to go before TTC and I am counting down the days until I hope I can eat the foods I crave.
I have a problem with the munchies at night too - I'm good all day, eat a girl-friendly supper...then I start craving EVERYTHING as soon as I sit down to watch TV. So far I've kept away from chocolate, though I have had licorice a couple of times to satisfy my sweet craving. I usually end up overindulging in strawberries, raspberries or green grapes to try to fill myself enough so that I won't reach for something salty or chocolatey.
I think we should start a thread where we post what we ate that day - I know it would help keep me accountable.
I will start one!
I´m the same, I crave in the evening in front of the tv too, trying to distract myself with computer or crochet/cross-stitch, it helps a little. I force myself to have some yoghurt or a sugarfree tiny mint before anything else.
During the day I´m doing good, skipping breakfast since yesterday, that´s a lot easier than I immagined.
About the chocolate, don´t buy it! I hid leftover eastern chocolate from the kids in the basement (for me not for them! lol).
My MIL gave the boys a big bag of smarties the other week, hid those too, but it was too tempting, I went down to eat them, so I had to throw them away, had to pour them out of the bag in the trash or I would fish the bag out off the bin :tissue: I´m so pathetic
Thats like me its not my food its the boys or chocolate that I was bought-ahh I have no self control. But I'm being good today.
Atomic said White chocolate is better than milk so maybe keep some White chocolate buttons for an emergency! If you find it hard to resist generally put treats in box with pink ribbon to remind you why you're doing this nasty diet very time you're tempted!!!
Chocolate is not the worst thing ever. The meat is much worse than the choc is.Quote:

I craved chocolate too on the girl diet and allowed myself a little, since everything else I ate was caffeine and sugar free!! I also needed the boost with losing weight and having drops in blood sugar!!
I remember there's someone over on IG who followed an acidifying diet while swaying and she had a small dish of chocolate ice cream every night! She got her girl in the end.
Thanks everyone! You girls are so sweet. There is some really helpful tips in there. I really like the pink ribbon idea! I haven't eaten any choc this weekend and whilst I haven't been great -been staying at MIL's I have done my best and am not going to get stressed over it, hell I probably won't get pregnant this month anyway!
thanks again -in my head when I am about to eat something bad I have 'you are killing your girl' its a brilliant tip!
Also, I'm sure someone already mentioned this but sugar-free gum is a great way to keep from giving into cravings while dieting.
