I blew it for today...
I went and binged out on not-so-great things, mainly because my TOM is coming shortly. I can foresee this being a constant issue. Right before TOM hits, I crave the worst possible things: dairy (in most forms), peanut butter and chocolate.
I'm angry at myself because I've been doing really well, especially when I come home late from work. I was home around 10:30 last night, and instead of going and having a whole meal, I opted for one of my little 80 calorie yogurt things and went to bed satisfied.
I'm not sure how I'm going to balance this. Despite being mad at myself and feeling guilty, my mood is quite improved [I know, I know, food = good mood is a bad state to be in]. But banning myself from the fridge doesn't seem to help.
I probably should start looking into healthier alternatives to cheese and peanut butter.

Dairy is a heartless bitch and I love her so. ;)
Don't be TOO hard on yourself! Mini-dinner will lead to a binge the next night I think.
As for the cravings, so far I've done mini (I had a mini 3 truffle bag of Lindor truffles instead of the reg sized bag I'd normally down) and I've forced myself to make a full meal. The dinner I had last night wasn't great but it was better than if I had let myself down the ice cream I was debating. TOM stuff is definitely weird and difficult though... we'll have to swap craving ideas or in that thread I put in the binge eaters 'What to do in the threat of a binge' heh...

Absolutely; picking things to have on hand to subside cravings safely is always a great idea. TOM is a really tough hurdle for all of us, I think. I often make sure the week before to eat foods that are high in calcium and iron, because cravings are often nutrients we're missing to do the TOM thing properly without feeling like crap. Peanut butter has exactly those two nutrients, plus a plethora of others- which explains that craving. Switching to a natural/fortified peanut butter, or just plain peanuts might make you feel better mentally about the choice. Dairy often has fortified calcium and vitamin D- so maybe your body associates to your brain the connection with past consumption of it; which is why the yogurt worked, I bet. Chocolate has chemicals in it that cause euphoric effects- and who doesn't need to feel better when TOM is jacking with our hormones? Maybe switch to a few pieces of a dark, low sugar chocolate? I'd try having celery on hand, throw some of that, 'Peanut Butter n' Co's,' Dark Chocolate Dreams Peanut Butter on it- and maybe some raisins (lots of iron) on top for an ants on a log effect (raisinets?). Just a suggestion- may sound gross to you tho LOL everyone's tastes are different. Yogurt never hurts, so long as it's fortified and low fat, so no kicking yourself. Just watch your portions and cut out the fat in other areas. Eat lots of green veggies to balance the fat of the peanut butter and try to avoid the extra sugars, if at all possible. You'll be OK, it's a learning curve. Meanwhile I face the same problem this week and am really glad I have celery & peanut butter at home!!
