And I almost went out to get it.  But I started searching old posts on here, and I managed to fight off the cravings.  Thanks to this site!

Well done for holding out on the grilled cheese. I had the exact same craving to the point my wife removed all cheese from the house! What did you do to distract yourself? Got any tips?

Cravings are tough to ignore, but concentrate on your goal.  I do 2 things when I get cravings now:  eat something on plan as a snack/meal and read OH (like you did).  By the time my husband and son finished their pizza last night I was good (full on 1/2 of a cheeseburger).

Man, I feel you!  I had a craving for a grilled cheese and turkey sandwich for days at a time for a few weeks just before surgery.  I think what stopped me is, that I had to be on opti-fast for 6 weeks and was about 4 weeks in; I just didn't want anything to prevent me from having the surgery at the scheduled date. 

The sandwich would've satisfied my craving, but wasn't worth foregoing surgery.

Good luck!
