THANK YOU all for this thread!

For those interested in a supplement to curb cravings - chromium is apparently good.
For me, a teeny smidge of anything that stimulates my blood sugar makes me go CARBONKERS- ravenous! My blood sugar seems to even be stimulated by the sight of hot cross buns and mince pies in the stores- which is horrid, 8 months of the year.
and as for smells... night mare!

I've got a few strategies for avoiding sugar stimuli, but clearly need more- as I'm still going off the wagon once a week. Getting back on the wagon is hard too.
