Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / August 2004Cravings for potato chips, possible solution
I used to crave potato chips everyday, but now if I crave them I just eat a little salt, just enough to taste the salt ... usually gets rid of the cravings. I think all we crave from potato chips is salt. Anyone have some experience with this? > I used to crave potato chips everyday, but now if I crave them I just eat a > little salt, just enough to taste the salt ... usually gets rid of the > cravings.

Not eating then takes care of the problem, for me. i Ignoramus9298 wrote in alt.support.diet on Sat, 21 Aug 2004: >> I used to crave potato chips everyday, but now if I crave them I just eat a >> little salt, just enough to taste the salt ... usually gets rid of the [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Not eating then takes care of the problem, for me. Actually, me too. You know what they say about Pringles: "Once you pop, you can't stop", and it's so-o-o true. I don't even *like* crisps that much...

Awesome to see how well you are doing! SOON you will be PAST the ole #4oo:) Congrats to you! glo > Awesome to see how well you are doing! > SOON you will be PAST the ole #4oo:) > Congrats to you! > > glo Thanks Glo! As you might have read in an earlier post I past the 400# goal and am now at 394#. People are really amazed more at the way I'm losing the weight more than anything. But as all of you have kept reiterating, portion control & exercise is the only way to lose weight and keep it off... Matty 481/394/250 You have no idea how this short message inspired me JS > > Awesome to see how well you are doing! > > SOON you will be PAST the ole #4oo:) [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Matty > 481/394/250 > You have no idea how this short message inspired me > JS [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Matty > > 481/394/250 Great to hear it JS. You'll find a lot of love & support here on the group. Some of it will be 'tough love'(thanks Ig for that) that you may think you don't want, but in the long run it'll help you. When I started reading the group & posting questions I was at 481#. Ig and a few others helped me figure out the best plan of attack towards my new WOE/WOL(took me a while to realize this meant Way Of Eating/Way Of Life). I was seriously considering the weight loss surgery but after a lot of research & comments from others on the board I no longer want to pursue that avenue. I realized that I would have to have a new WOE/WOL even after the surgery for the rest of my life so why not avoid the pain, stress, & expense and lose weight without the surgery. I use FitDay(the PC version, there's also a free online version at www.fitday.com) to calculate my calories and exercise for the day. Right now I'm at 2000cal daily during the week & 2500cal daily on the weekends. I am also walking 50 minutes a day, 5 days a week, this works out to around 2 miles a day. With this WOE/WOL, I can eat anything I want as long as it fits into my calories for the day. With the surgery, you'd have to cut out a whole lot and plan eating your meals a tablespoon at a time...(nothing against the surgery, it's just not for me...) You may want to find an accountability partner as well, I don't think I could have gone this far without one. I get an email every morning asking how I did the previous day and praises when I do well. Preferably someone not related to you that will be brutally honest to help keep you on track. Again JS, great to hear from you and feel free to post anytime! Matty 481/394/250 I decided to post my daily menu each day, regardless of how bad it went. (I don't have an accountability partner and I think the comments will be "brutally honest"). I've checked into FitDay.com and will try out the software. Thanks for the support and advice.

I think all we crave from potato chips is salt. Anyone have some > experience with this? I always measure out the serving size suggested on the bag and put the bag away. I find that its enough to satisfy. May sound silly, but with my WOE/WOL I have to in order to maintain accountability. Beware of the individual size bags of chips, many of them contain more than one serving(just like 20oz bottles of soda contain 2.5 servings)... People are amazed that I am losing weight and can still eat things like ice cream & pasta. For me, it comes down to portion control & exercise - plain and simple. Getting ready for weigh-in next week. Hoping to break the 400# barrier...

Keep up the great work! Jenn |
