I try to fill up on healthier lower calorie foods, and drink my 5 calorie light drink mixes with my soda cravings. Sometimes even getting one bite, or drink of hubby's junk food/ Soda helps me.. Depending on your will power to say no to the rest.  

eat something. I am sorry some people will disagree with me but I find that if you don't give in it will get worse and in my cause lead to a complete binge. So I find if I eat something junky but not super junky it helps  

I keep a 70% cacao bar of chocolate at home. If I crave sweets, one square is usually enough, plus dark chocolate has health benefits :) 

Thank you for advise everyone!!!! Its the late night cravings and binges that keep weight going up instead of down.. in the past few months I gained 25 lbs partly because i found out I was three months pregnant and then miscarried but looking forward to a good week staying positive .. its time to buckle down and get this process going  

I'm so sorry for your loss. 

Drinking two huge glasses of water quickly then just going to bed helps me. If I get up during the night, I always drink a big glass of water too. Big glass = 12 oz 

Had that happen this weekend. Believe it or not, I ate three Doritos followed by a glass of water--and it was enough. I just wanted to have that taste of salty/crunchy/junky! I have tried to sub other stuff in the past and wind up eating a bunch of things I really don't want, only to cave and eat a ton of junk. So I have myself permission to eat those three chips and nibbled them to bits. They were delicious and enough. I was shocked! But pleased.
