Do you ever really stop to think about the foods you crave, and why you crave that particular food at that paricular time? Personally I can crave all different kinds of foods, depending on my mood....


What do you crave when you're.....



~happy?
~depressed?
~stressed?
~bored?


Do you do anything to 'get over' a particular craving?

What do you crave when you're.....



~happy? fun foods, like cupcakes or ice cream
~depressed? comfort carbs, like mashed potatoes
~stressed? I actually eat less when I'm stressed, so I think I have fewer cravings then
~bored? crunchy carbs, like pretzels or potato chips


Do you do anything to 'get over' a particular craving? I don't really do anything to get over it, but I try to think about what I'm doing before I eat! I'm probably most likely to give in to cravings when depressed. I have the least "resolve" then.

Ladies.....
Your answers don't have to necessarily mean 'junk food' cravings
Any cravings you have...good or bad :-)

When things are going well for me I tend to take better care of myself, including food choices. I'll often crave a vegetable of some sort (latest thing are Brussels Sprouts!!)- for crunch a salad, and occasionally a steak!
~depressed?
This is when things start to fall apart....chips and chocolate!!
~stressed?
Like most of you I don't think food catches my attention when I'm stressed out- I often go in the other direction and not eat at all...
~bored?
This entirely depends on what is in the house at the time! It can go from popcorn to crackers and cheese. I guess "crunch" for me too!

If I catch myself I'll get up and do something....like clean! The option of working out instead doesn't cross my mind enough!!!!

When I'm happy I don't really have any particular cravings. I think when I'm feeling well balanced

Just adding that I too have had the occasional wine...or beer....or Mike's when things get a little hairy!! Plus I think many of us know 'not' to ignore all our cravings. Perhaps we learned that lesson the hard way. Ann put it best:



I give in. :)
