I give myself the water rule as well, if I am really craving something I make myself drink a large glass of water first, that way I don't indulge as much. I find it works really well with soft drinks etc. And other stuff I try to convinve myself that I don't need it, but there does come a point when I have to have it....... so I try to find ways to limit it, ie if it is Cobbs Slightly Salty Slight Sweet Popcorn, I pour a portion into a small bowl and put the packet away and only allow myself to eat what is in the bowl, otherwise if I sit with the packet I can easily devour the whole packet *redface*
I always gave in but had some weird cravings. For a couple of weeks all I ate was cherry tomatoes drowned in balsamic vinegar. When I was finished the tomatoes I'd drink the small bit of vinegar at the bottom. The first time I did it, I freaked out in case I'd pickled the baby
OMG, MummaSue, YUM! I cleaned the shower with vinegar this morning and I was just about ready to lick the walls!
Walking home from the hospy today, passed a pub, and MAN could I have knocked back a beer! I didn't, but the first one back on the horse is going to be sooooooo good.
LOL, Audax, I CRAVED beer like you wouldn't believe in the last few weeks. I spent my last week of pregnancy in hospital and kept asking the midwives how bad it would be if I had a beer. Most of them told me to get DH to bring me some in but in the end I just couldn't do it.
