I just have good choices around like those Lindt Excellence 70% cocoa Dark Chocolate squares. They are small, high amount of dark choc which is high in anti-oxidents, and they are so rich that a square is more than enough.
Each square is about 5.5 g, so that makes one square about 31 cals..totally not a diet wrecker and gives you a little taste.

driving me mad. Darn stuff I will go buy some non sugar when I go shopping. It is like my clotting issues I can't eat my green veggies well not to much of them. I love spinish,broccoli, and peas and I can't eat much of them any more. I wonder if celery will help with the cravings? does anyone know? Can stress make you crave things? I don't know when I should get my period so can't say it is that. Thank you thank you for your help.

Absolutely YES. Stress releases a hormone called cortisol. Elevated cortisol levels compromise other hormones...including insulin, serotonin, and DHEA. Cortisol may also decrease our metabolism, increase hunger and cravings, imbalances blood sugar (glucose) levels, and ultimately signal the body to store excess fat.
If you do a google search of elevated cortizol and sugar cravings you'll find tons of studies..this is a really prominent area of study right now because stress is a big reason why there is asuch a prominent obesity problem.
Hope it helps!

Christy Z,is this you in this picture or Eva Longoria??? I am not A rainbow cyster I love my husband but you knida resemble her! I think she is just the prettiest housewife....LOL! Anyway,my friends at work all crave sugar too around that time of the month. They are not PCO so it is probably more of that hormone mood swing.It is very hard for me to get my eating under control.However I am learning very quickly what aggrivates me.Anything FRIED! A big NO NO for me.But I am very proud of myself b/c me and my friend were at the store and I said NO to M&Ms....

ROTFL!!!
It's me...Eva's probably got legs 8 inches longer than mine. That picture was taken in Sept..I was featured in the Dec 2005 issue of FIRST FOR WOMEN magazine on their article on Hormones and Weight Loss and the photographer they hired did some beautiful sepia photos that I just fell in love with. The magazine needed colour shots, but it was really nice to get some pictures done that looked old Hollywood...my favorite.
Thanks for your sweet words, Stephanie. I am going to ask my husband if he knows he's taking Eva for dinner tonight.

You gals are too funny. I think Christy looks like a girl called Bianca on the soap opera All My Children. They are both pretty people though. Thanks for the help I think I will try buying something that will not let the cortisol go to my belly. Thanks thanks
