[quote=Anonymous]Yes, just stop. Take it one minute at a time if you need to.  I’ve noticed that when I eat processed carbs — so, things made out of flour, potato chips, stuff made with corn syrup, etc. — I crave more.  Carbs like oatmeal or kasha, so, plain whole grains, don’t seem to do that.  A breakfast of, say, waffles or  a sandwich sets me up for a whole day of carb craving.  When I wake up in the morning, I’ll be fine, unless I eat something like biscuits.  If I eat oatmeal with peanut butter or an omelette, no carb cravings.

So you could try starting the day off with  low or slow carbs and see if this diminishes your cravings.  Or you could try doing a food diary and notice what foods, moods, types of foods, environments and so on, seem associated with your cravings and take it from there.

If you cut back on carbs, you might want to have one meal or even one day a week when you have major carbs, perhaps sharing favorites foods with your family. Then notice how you feel.  Doing this has helped me with “moderation” since eating too much or some kinds of carbs quickly make me feel lethargic. 
Your patterns and responses might be very different from mine, but trying these suggestions could give you some useful information. [/quote]
