Basic rules of cravings:
1. It's best to eat only healthy foods. You need those. You desire unhealthy foods sometimes. Curb the initial hunger impulse by eating a piece of fruit or having a glass of milk.
2. It's better to eat a small amount of a less-healthy treat than a large amount. If the apple or milk didn't help stifle the urge, try eating three Hershey's Kisses. If you're a Weight Watcher, that's still only one Point, and you've had your chocolate fix. Alternatively, if you go to a Weight Watchers meeting site, they've got one-Point and two-Point bars that contain chocolate; some also have raspberry, caramel, or peanut as well. Not only do they have chocolate, but they also have fiber in them, which makes them both healthier than Hershey's Kisses and also more filling.
3. If you can go from Sunday through Friday without sabotaging your nutritional success plan, give yourself TWO rewards on Saturday. The first should be a small food reward, such as a Smart Ones chocolate dessert, a Weight Watchers ice cream (2 Point) or a single serving of a lower-fat, no-sugar-added ice cream, such as Breyer's. Non-fat Breyer's Double-Churned, sweetened with Splenda, is only about 3 points for a half-cup serving, and is delicious. The second reward should be non-food: a movie, a new nail polish, wearing your favorite outfit, finding a new way to fix your hair, or a day out with friends (focus on social activities rather than eating).
I started at 227 pounds and got down to 180 in six months, so your goal of reaching 170 by September is realistic.
