Candy Bars Haunt Me!

**roxygirl** · 03-23-2005, 12:16 PM

I have one word to describe the way I feel right now. GUILTY. Ever since I started cutting I have had chocolate and cappuccino's cravings like crazy. I seriously think about it EVERY second. And this week I have given into my cravings and have had either a cappuccino or a skore candy bar. For some reason, when I say "no" I want it even more. So here's the question, if I go ahead and eat a candy bar-before noon-and up my cardio to 40 min or an hour at the gym (roughly burning 400-600 cal) and eat very healthy the rest of the day will it have that big of an affect on me loosing fat? Will it completly hinder fat loss? I know...I know...Im weak!

It will cause a problem. Don't eat a candy bar. FIGHT IT. The calories aren't the bad part, it's the fat, trans fat, carbs, preservatives, etc...

**roxygirl** · 03-23-2005, 01:06 PM

and the cappuccino?

**magneto576** · 03-23-2005, 01:42 PM

I had to pass up vanilla cake that someone brought today in class, and I will probably have to fight off potato chips, cake, and everything else I miss tomorrow night at a party

At least it will be high carb day

Try incorperating a chocolate flavored whey coffee shake into your diet.

**musclepump** · 03-23-2005, 01:48 PM

Coffee itself is fine, cappucino, mocha, anything else = no no

**roxygirl** · 03-23-2005, 01:53 PM

I dont know how you guys do it! I really have to try harder to work on the "mental" side of this. Working out and eating healthy most of the time is easy...its passing on the crap that I cant do. Good job on passing up the cake magneto, wish I had your will power. So no amount of cardio will make up for eating candy?

**seven11** · 03-23-2005, 02:05 PM

heheh i sometimes have "nightmares" where i eat bad food and then regret it. but when i wake up i feel much better.... im serious i really dream bout that

**roxygirl** · 03-23-2005, 02:13 PM

Wow...nightmares about eathing junk food. Thats crazy. Isnt that borderline unhealthy? Like a fear of food or something?

**Yunier** · 03-23-2005, 02:28 PM

When I was working at my older job there was all kind of junk food everyday. I could not fight it. I started to buy some protein bars and ate that instead.

**roxygirl** · 03-23-2005, 02:34 PM

any one know how the extra cardio thing works? does it help?

I get the same thing. have you tried sugar free Jello Pudding ? the chocolate and the hot fudge are both great. I use real Cool Whip also. 1/2 cup of pudding made with ff milk and 2 tablespoons of Cool Whip is around 110 cals.

candybar.. candybar.. candybar .... oh no, wait.. thats candyman!

**mrguy** · 03-23-2005, 04:34 PM

Whenever I get the chocolate urge, I'll have a Zone Fudge Graham Protien Bar. Having one every now and then won't hurt, but you have to watch it. They taste just like a regular candy bar and it is easy to get carried away.

**musclepump** · 03-23-2005, 07:29 PM

I eat ProteinPlus bars when I need to. Or on low carb days I'll find a decent LowCarb bar.

**lainey** · 03-23-2005, 11:23 PM

Cappucinos aren't that bad! (Unless you're totally cutting out milk). I usually get a plain cappucino (none of this Mocha-caramel, or iced cappucino garbage) made with skim milk. If it's not sweet enough for ya add some sweetener and cinnamon.
Cappucino with no guilt!

**Toughenuff** · 03-24-2005, 12:21 AM

I love chocolate! its so hard trying not to eat them, i guess 1 every once in a while in moderation is okay? or maybe not?

**derekisdman** · 03-24-2005, 01:06 AM

when I get chocolate cravings I take a bowl, put in a scoop of ON chocolate powder, a little cocoa, a little splenda, about a tablespoon of milk, and a little peanut butter. Mix it well and microvwave for 20 seconds. It doesn't sound good at all I know, but i'm always amazed at how good it tastes. Always gets rid of the sweet tooth.

It's mental.

I seriously think about it EVERY second.:

This is mental.

Don't "think." Do.

I know...I know...Im weak!

Right now, you are "weak."

Change your mentality, and you will not be "strong," you'll just be doing what is what YOU want to be doing.

Believe me, I know.

**sara** · 03-24-2005, 07:52 AM

When you have a goal, why would you let something get in the way? Why would you let little candy bar or PB in my case

mess me up toward my 1 specific goal?

Stay strong

Very well said.

Gracias...New Day- New start!

Trioplex protien bar! Mutigrain, multi-sourced protien!

I know what you mean....my birthday was last Sunday and my mom made my favorite: Spice Cake. I'm not cutting so I didn't feel too awful about having a cheat piece. It just would have been rude not to try a small piece...right? But I didn't take the leftovers! My wife and kids ate them for me.

And when I get those chocolate cravings I cheat and eat like 3 peanut M&M's and that will actually hold me over. I know that taking less of a bad thing isn't the best...but it's better then eating that whole bag.
