Although, I should listen to my own advice, but you could do an exercise or brush your teeth and maybe the craving will go away. I'm going to try drinking water, too, i definately don't drink enough. Oh yeah, and I work on an icecream truck, (I wonder which is worst? A bakery or an icecream truck? Probably, the bakery with all of the smells and dark chocolate,..... :eek:"

Instead get yourself some dried fruit (raisins, dried apricots--they mimick the chewy and the sweet but are so much better for you --be careful not to get ones that say sugar in the ingredients though) instead or if you have the money....chop up some strawberries and put them in a little container and take them with you. You're cravings are natural BUT you are in control of your cravings. I feel ya girl. I actually turned myself off of refined sugars altogether. Not an easy task. I also work at a bakery. AHHHH. But it's ok. Just say to yourself, "My body is confused. It wants swedish fish but they aren't even real FISH!!! Silly body!!! I bet THIS is what it meant." I always say that my body is trying to bully me and I don't have to take that crap!!! :) I'm sure you'll make it through. Not sure this is a "challenge" per se....maybe if I end this with I TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU TO DO THIS!!!! ;) Hehehe."
