Dealing with the cravings

During the past three weeks, I have been doing the Insanity program and eating the right amount of calories. I based my calories on the 2,000 calorie diet. I try not to eat over 2,000 calories a day. However, if I burned 600 calories doing a work out, then I allow myself 2,600 calories for that day. I eat three meals a day each meal containing 600 calories. 600 X 3=1,800. Then I snack in between meals or whenever I feel I'm getting hungry. I make sure that I don't snack on things that have too many calories. Usually something like cheese sticks or peanuts. I know sometimes it can be a pain watching what you eat, but if you just study the foods you like then it becomes less of a hassle. For example, I hate fish so there is no need for me to find out how many calories it has. I could care less.
Looking at your everyday eating habits can help you stick to an eating routine. This routine can be done everyday (which I know can be boring) and then if you stick to it, treat yourself to a great meal (preferably lunch) at a restaurant. Of course look at the calories and just splurge a little. Instead of a 600 calorie meal, eat an 800 calorie lunch. If you overdo a calorie meal, make sure it is at lunch so that way you still have the rest of the day to burn off the extra calories.
Sweets! What a major problem in life. I am a major chocoholic. I can crave chocolate every minute of everyday. But when I am calorie counting, I limit myself. I do not, and repeat do not ever eat that healthy chocolate. It has a nasty taste. The best candy to eat when on a diet is M&M peanuts. Now, I'm not talking about an abundance of peanut M&Ms, but a small bag. I use this once a week. I know its hard to just eat one bag, but you will get use to it. This helps get rid of the craving for sweets. I love cake, and haven't eaten it for weeks. Not even at birthday parties.
Its more than just stopping the cravings, its will power. Everyone has a strong person in them, they just have to believe in themselves.

Today's advice:
1. Count calories.
2. Do NOT exceed 2,000 calories a day
3. Check out your favorite food's calories
4. Make sure you burn more/equal calories than you consume
5. If you want to eat or splurge on, let's say cake. Adjust your calories to make room for your craving.
