My best defense? I have to picture something really gross to associate with that smell & the desire abates to the point of it being very tolerable.
This seems to do it for me every time! I can hardly look at that image without getting the heebie-jeebies. *shiver*
I've been told a craving only lasts 15 minutes, so if I can hang on that long it'll get better. Well I found a way to shorten the process, because 15 minutes feels like an eternity when you're living it.
So, what works for you? How do you put those cravings in their place?

When I was dieting (pre-baby, nursing days) I would stick a piece of gum in my mouth. For some reason, as long as I was chewing on something, food didn't seem as appealing.
I like the idea of picturing something gross. Now I just have to come up with the most vial thing I can think of.
Definitely chewing gum and drinking the Crystal Light to go water bottles. A little sweet goes a long way for me.
