i'm high, i have the munchies, but I don't want to ruin my diet

[WindRavenX]

Help :(

[Oeditpus Rex]

1. Got stockings?

They might help take your mind off food. :shrug:

[WindRavenX]

3. no, i can't sub sex for food--he's sleeping and has work in a few hours

dammit!

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. Who said anything about sex?

Put 'em on, strut around some, preen in a mirror and tell yourself how hawt you look.




Then share your special moment with pictures.




We're here to help. :7

[WindRavenX]

12. aren't you the philanthropist!

:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. No, I'm just a pev

But I have a great PR staff. :D

[some guy]

2. Wake your husband

burn some calories.

It'll take your mind off the munchies, keep you on your diet, and be fun.

[WindRavenX]

4. ps I am tempted by having half a bagel with a little cream cheese

That is my current temptation.

[jpgray]

5. I'd say don't eat, but that never helps

:P

Try having a small fruit like a kiwi or plum, drinking some water, having a bit of healthy cereal, an egg, something small and non-flour-based! Beware the Bagel! :D

[WindRavenX]

6. Why are bagels so damn good?

Seriously, they always just mock me with their deliciousness.

[jpgray]

9. Without accoutrements they aren't too great

What's in your larder and what do you like?

[WindRavenX]

11. well, we're pretty limited right now

some sourdough bread, some turkey, some tomatoes, some sharp chedder cheese, soy milk, cereal, and some grapes. Mustard, pickles, and a few odd things like that. Some candy in the fridge.

Oddly, there is some candy lying around, but I don't crave sweet things. I might be hungry for something substantial (I was pretty busy today) and I only had a bowl of special K w soy milk for dinner about 2 hours ago...

[jpgray]

13. I would have the grapes, a small slice of cheese and a tomato with pepper and salt

Unless it's a sucky tomato, in which case I might be amenable to a piece of bread. :P But seriously, if you gotta eat you gotta eat. If you -know- something's bad for the diet, well, just be as strong as you can and try to avoid it! :)

[WindRavenX]

14. I shall journey to the fridge with your thoughts in mind.

The last week I've stopped eating anything from work (I work at starbucks right now, and sweet jesus I gained like 5 pounds from all the free pastries) and have replaced two meals with low cal/fat options...

I feel better already, but tonight's the last bit o' the weed before I'm out, and for some reason, I'm very hungry tonight.

[jpgray]

16. Damn! Working at Starbucks and dieting would take monumental willpower

:o

You have my respect, whatever happens! :hi:

[WindRavenX]

18. These are actual situations I've experienced this week:

Co-worker shows tray of orange cream coffee cakes: "Gen, I'm tossing 4 of these day old, yet still amazingly moist and delicious, cakes out--want some?"

Co-worker shows tray of coffee cake: "So...these aren't even old, but I don't feel like wrapping them in saran wrap so I'm just gonna mark them out--want like 5 of them?"

repeat like 19 times every day.

I grew up where these things were true luxuries, so I have this thing where I feel like I *need* to take and eat them...

[jpgray]

19. Ha! You are my hero

And for some more tedious advice (:D) try to keep at least a few small fruits (kiwis, plums, nectarines, etc.) or bits of cheese or leafy greens with oil/vinegar (and maybe some oven-roasted pine nuts) to munch on when the cravings are just too much. To me the floury stuff like bagels or white pitas or tortillas were always death--I always want more, and more, and, well, you get the idea.

[VenusRising]

7. A salad, steamed veggies, baked potato...

oatmeal, a bowl of cereal, or some fruit maybe.

But a bagel and cream cheese wouldn't be that horrible.

[MsKandice01]

8. Sunflower seeds...

They're a lifesaver for me when I've got the munchies.

[WindRavenX]

17. I usually have something like that.

But I've been so busy I neglected to stock up on stuff I can munch on w/out busting my diet :(

[MissMillie]

20. Ice

Ice is the perfect thing to crunch when you don't want to consume calories


Might I recommend, however, that until you reach goal weight, you lay off the MJ

[Dragonbreathp9d]

21. baby carrots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[underpants]

22. Good idea especially wrapped with cheese

no not great for the diet but better than some things.
