I have been trying to be good and eat less sugar. Actually, this is day two. It has been really hard for me this pregnancy and I am seeing the nasty results of eating whatever I want. The best solution for not eating crap is not having it around.
Well, today I really needed a fix. I saw some ice cream at the store and it looked obscenely good. I was good and didn't purchase it. But when I got home I was really in need of something creamy. (It doesn't help that my Everyday Foods Magazine came in the mail today.) I searched all over, and the only thing creamy I had in the house was whipped cream in a can. So I took the last two tablespoons of yogurt I had and sprayed whipped cream over it. That didn't do much good so I cut up a banana and put whipped cream and chocolate sauce over it. It was a sorry excuse for a banana split but I imagined it was what I needed.
I am posting this because I realize how funny and pitiful it is. Also, I am hoping that I am not the only one in a moment of desperation (I am trying not to use the word "craving") has scrounged up some unlikely concoction to satiate ones need.
Please share.

I love that you posted this on day 2. I am the same, each day without sugar or fattie foods is such a huge thing for me. I think your need to satisfy is totally normal. good job on eating healthier.
Ugh, life without sugar... I can't imagine. I nearly died when I couldn't eat anything sugary the morning they did the glucose test on me, and that was only a few hours. Of course that included no cereal, no juice, no fruit, no yogurt...
Anyway, at least you're trying to be good. I on the other hand, can't afford sweet things and the other day had to resort to a handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Richard has found a few good hiding places (and believe me, I looked hard) for any other sweets we might've had around. I have to confess though that when I get really desperate, I just go to your mom's.
I had a BBQ sauce phase; one night, lacking any meat or pizza, I had BBQ mac n cheese. Hmmm...
I had a 10 pound 10 ounce baby....... need I say more:)
I just shoot the whip cream strait into my mouth
