Cravings

Right now I'm having massive cravings for the cake and chocolate which I know is in the cupboard. My Mum and step Dad came over for a quick visit to Sheffield and bought a couple of slices of coffee cake with them plus I have 2 boxes of chocolates which are just calling my name. But I will resist and make myself a hot chocolate once I've written this blog. Although I say you should have a treat, I went out for lunch and have had cheese and chocolate beetroot brownies (just a tiny slice but enough) plus I am not in the slightest bit hungry after dinner.

If you're having cravings, try to distract yourself from them. Go for a walk or call a friend or read a book to try and take your mind off them. If you decide you are going to treat yourself, make sure you can easily limit how much you have. Opening a box of chocolates when you really crave them will probably end up in you eating most of them. Opt for a small amount which is measurable and be really tough with yourself on sticking to it.

I have walked into Sheffield and all round Sheffield and then home again at speed. We went to Tamper Coffee for lunch which is heavenly. If you haven't been, it's just off West Street near Nando's. I can't remember the name of the little road it's on. They do amazing food and coffee at very reasonable prices.

Today, I ate:

Breakfast: Porridge with chopped banana

Snack: tiny piece of brownie

Lunch: 1/2 brie and crankberry sandwich, 1/2 steak pie (small)

Snack: kiwi fruit, thin slice of cheese

Dinner: Salmon and vegetable stir fry

What do you crave? Sweet or savoury?
