Dang Tom Cravings!

[fell4falls 18]

I have been doing so well, and then TOM came around along with the cravings...and I caved. I was craving something salty and crunchy...and I had some (probably more than I should have) cheetos. I am disgusted with myself for giving in!!

Why waste your time and energy being disgusted with yourself? Get those devil cheetos out of the house and don't buy them any more. That's all. Get some nuts with salt to satisfy you salt craving. They are very nutritious and taste really good.

Cheetos as you probably know already are a slider food. They only give us empty calories with no nutritional value. Don't get me wrong, I have eaten some flamin hot cheetos and they did slide right through. So I don't buy them and I tell my children and hubby not to bring them in the house.

I know this seems silly, but when I gave into cravings I was like great thats 2 pounds I am going to gain. Then I got level headed looked at the bag of crackers and realized even if I had eaten the whole box (which I was nowhere near at all) It would have only been 800 calories. To gain a pound you need to consume like 3500 extra calories. So just look at it as a hiccup and realize its not the end of the world, tomorrow is another day

I get the TOM cravings from hell too. I try to keep things like Carb Smart ice cream bars, salted edemame, peanuts, cheese crisps, etc. around to satisfy me. When you're not in hell week make a list of healthy or not-too-unhealthy things you think might be good for that week and stock up. And the best thing about the sleeve to me is that we can stumble here and there, but it doesn't mean we slide all the way back!
