Cravings, do you have them? what do you really crave right now? Admit it

Chocolate Cravings - Craving for chocolate or ciggies
April 22, 2007 5:45am CST
I recently quit smoking and have been dealing with the withdrawal symptoms fairly well so far. However, this morning I really, really want a cigarette. I have dreadful cravings for just one cigarette. Failing that, I decided to have a piece of chocolate as a treat, but I haven't got any in the house right now, so that started a chocolate craving. I can't win:-( What are your cravings? Is there something you really, really want right now? Go on, admit it, cigarette, chocolate, anything?

none until I read this - now all i want is an After Eight Ice cream cone! The big trouble is that there are some in the freezer so it is really hard to stop myself! Think I might just go for a bath with apple and cinammon bubble bath instead! xxx

I don't usually have cravings but sometimes they will hit me hard and sneaky. Just a few days day, I craved a packet of MacDonald's fries. So I walked out only to find that the price has gone up by 25% only after a few months and the taste is not even half as good as I remember it used to be.

Hello Wizard. Hmm McDonalds Fries, darn it, I really wish you hadn't said that, now I want McDonalds fries too - lol. They certainly don't seem to be as good as they used to be though do they.

I think they stopped dousing them in salt after the Jamie Oliver campaign, and I agree, they don't taste half as good.

Firstly congratulations to you well done that you have been able to kick the habit of smoking, oh no I do not know how long since you quit but hopefully you have not started again I am a smoker and wish that some how some way I could quit. In regards to my cravings I would love some kind of dessert that I could eat but I have sugar diabetes and therefore some of the desserts that I really crave for would affect my health.

You might think it is gross but I am craving and cooking black pudding. In case you don't know what it is, this is it: "Black pudding or blood pudding is a sausage made by cooking animal blood with a filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled. Blood sausage is a more recent North American term for the same as well as a useful term for similar blood-based solid foods around the world. Pig or cattle blood is most often used; sheep and goat blood are used to a lesser extent. Blood from poultry, horses and other animals are used more rarely. Typical fillers include meat, fat, suet, bread, barley and oatmeal." Bon appetit!

This is a bad question to ask! lol now you will want everything that everyone else is wanting! that always happens to me when i talk to my girlfriend about what she's having for supper! at least if she lived close i could run over there and steal some while she wasn't looking! but she lives over 3000 miles away ;( So i just woke up about a half an hour ago, and i am really craving some homeade soup. i love making soup. MM any kind, although turkey is my favourite. This bring me to a little story lol. I was working in a factory and the cafateria lady would make homade meat pies. but she would spell homeade ho made. LOL!! thought that might make you smile at least. maybe forget all your new found cravings for a second. At least if you are craving foods though you are not craving cigs! You've come too far to give up now! you can do it! drink lots of water, or juice, whatever you got as long as its not booze:P you'd be drunk pretty early in the morning if you had a shot everytime you craved :P *giggleS* good luck hun :)

I have a lot of cravings throughout the day. It can be from something sweet, to something salty, then sour. Oh, you get the idea. :) But right now I;m craving for something really cold like strawberry ice cream! I desperately need something cold to neutralize my body temperature as it is very hot now. I think it's somewhere 35 degrees and everybody is lazy to go out for the fear of getting sunburn.

I could happily have had some ice cream yesterday but this morning the weather has turned cold and wet, so it's back to indoor and hot coffee. Thanks for your contribution

I too recently quit smoking and it has been really hard. I have 2 kinds of dreams, one where I have a ciggie and I cough and wake up coughing, and the second is where I have a ciggie and love it. The ones where I wake up coughing aren't too bad, I get a glass of water and I'm usually fine, but the ones where I love the ciggie and I wake up craving BAD are just the roughest. I crave bad all day, and then the next day it goes away ( I guess because I haven't given in) that is my toughest part about it. The thing that has some what helped my cravings though is gum and sweets! Now that I have quit smoking I have an even bigger sweet tooth lol. *Hands you some chocolate* There you go hun, now we both got some chocolate!

Well I'm at work right now, and because I can't just pop out for a smoke whenever I feel like it, it's almost a constant craving during my work day. What I'd really like right now though is strawberries. I think those would be really great right now.. anyone care to pop by Edmonton with some fresh strawberries today? :)

I seem to have the nicotine fairy knocking on the door again darn it :-( Strawberries would be good though

I have just washed down all the walls in my house and I couldn't believe the amount of nicotine that was stuck to them. It was very hard work and it was enough to stop me from smoking in the house, particularly as it is now up for sale. I don't want prospective buyers coming in to a smoke filled house. As I have to be doing something, I am now starting to munch on sweet and sour pringles and in between I like to have a Cadbury's twirl. That is now my regular snack for when I am sitting at my pc.

My Landlady gave up smoking 5 weeks ago and she says she gets cravings a lot, but she has kinda "replaced" the cravings with food or sweets. Me personally, I have cravings for cheese! I just love the stuff and love eating it all the time.
