Questions About Cravings

[ninasafiri]

I always crave ice cream during finals! It's one I'm fighting off so I can treat myself with something really delicious later, but I don't know if I'm going to make it til next week lol.

So some questions:
Do you have any reoccuring cravings?
Why do you think you have them?
Do you indulge or do you resist?
Why or why not? :)

I usually crave for sweets when study or when got absolutely nothing to do. But to be very honest most of the times I'm just hungry. So I'm trying to go and get myself some proper food instead of munching another chocolate))

Heck yeah I have food cravings. Primarily for sweets of all varieties, cheap and expensive! I find they are worse when I don't eat enough protein with each meal. Sometimes I resist them and I'm fine but if they don't go away I give in!

Chocolate, I have them mainly because I'm addicted to sugar, if there's chocolate within easy reach or somewhere that's not too much hassle then I usually can't resist.

My way of dealing with it is making sure that there is no chocolate near by or it's too much hassle to go and get some. Hope you can manage to resist the cravings! Try a little reward system, so every time you have a craving if you manage to resist put some money in a jar?

when I'm studying or writing a paper I just want to eat. No particular cravings, just food. Its almost a form of procrastination. What I've been doing lately is making a large bowl of popcorn (I have a popper) and snacking while I read. Its not too high in calories, and I settle the urge to chew on things.

But as far as diet and finals go, I don't think they should go together. Its a stressful time anyway and if your mind is focused on the food it wants, it won't be focused on school. Its only a week or two. Unless you're holding out for an end of semester celebration? Then tell yourself you can eat ice cream then. You might not even want it by then.
