Cravings!

I've noticed the tips for healthy habits never include fun and healthy. As a health professional who works with people trying modify their behavior, I found that including tasty items that can help curb cravings for sugary or fattening items helps with changing habits. One of my newer recommendations for those who are trying cut back on their soda pop intake is the new vitaminwater 10. It actually tastes great and is sweetened naturally from the stevia plant. I am looking forward to recommending to my clients who are watching their calories. Should be great as we move into the summer season. It really can be a treat that you don't feel guilty about.

And be active...active...active!!

When ever my sweet tooth kicks in, I force myself to eat an apple. Beleive me it works.

when i get a sweet tooth so when i get a sweet tooth i try to get carrots and dip or at least try something healthy so if that fails i go to junk food but try your best to stay away  

Toning doesn't require you to stop eating sweets! Geez, you're 115 pounds. How much smaller can you get? Why don't you do some weight lifting to tone up and eat sweets within reason and stop feeling so damn guilty!!

With love.

I have the same problem.  I always want something sweet after a meal.  I start by not keeping sweet stuff in my house.  I have two children at home so stops at the store to buy ice cream are not easy for me.  I keep gum around at all times.  If I get a sweet craving I will chew gum.  I can also suggest keeping low-calorie hard candy around.  Also, dried fruit is a great snack as long as it doesn't have added sugar.  I also trick myself into eating low calorie desserts.  I buy instant fat free pudding and make berry parfaits.  I make them in nice parfait glasses to give them appeal.  I hope this helps. 

You are 18 and 115lbs.!!!  You don't need a diet.  If you want to tone up you need to take up an activity that focuses on what you want to tone up.  Don't worry about eating sweets--atleast not for a few/maybe like 5 or 7 more years. (I was the same body type at 18 and only wanted to tone up too-my legs/thighs always bothered me.  But I never gained weight because of what I ate until like 28yrs.)  Just try to be active.

I managed to lose 45 pounds and am at my ideal weight now.  I struggled with the same problem, and still do occasionally.  I give in to junk food way more than I'd like.  I have 3 kids and a husband that is not interested in cutting back on junk food, so that makes it way more difficult.  I guess that's a whole 'nother topic.  What helped me with willpower is exercise, lots of water, and be sure to get at least 7 hours of sleep every night.  I noticed a huge difference in willpower when I hadn't got the best nights sleep. 

Im 19 and I eat like crazy but my matabolism helps me out with my weight. I still have to really watch though because i weighed 164 Lbs. at 6'2'' and the doctor told me to gain weight because it wasn't very healthy. But if you want to tone prepare to gain because I weigh 205 now, but hey i really don't look it and Im really strong.

i about the same hieght and weight as you but i had 2 children a 20 month old and a 6 month old and i want to loose a couple pds but really tone my body and i have this bad thing with cravings it' skilling me im constistly wanting something to eat on, so my wii fit... lol yes wii fit (it really works) told me to try drinking a glass of milk if you get late night cravings which honestly it has worked! also for those craving in the day drink alot alot alot of water n chew on some fruit throughout the day dont skip breakfast and 3 small meals and 3 small snacks like fruits between each meal to eliminate cravings because you will have satified with 3meal 3snacks and plenty of water about 60 oz a day what was told to me! and try some yoga and strenthing workout to tone! its working so far! a way to not give into junk is to not buy either or stay away from it and if you know your gonna go near it like go out or to the store eat before you go or pack some healthy snacks to go! but once in awhile wont hurt
