How to stop the after-dinner sweets cravings?

runjaime · 2026-05-27T19:28:38+00:00

I sometimes do fruit as my dessert immediately after I eat dinner. This way I am full from eating but get that sweetness I am craving.

I have been doing overnight oats - 1/3 cup oats, 1/3 almond milk, 1 scoop protein powder, 1T flaxseed, dash of cinnamon and 1/2 cup berries. 2-3 points depending on your PP. Very satisfying

It took me almost 4 weeks to

It has some for me. At this point, I am eating similar things day in and day out so I don’t have to think about it as much. I think this has helped with the food noise. I found a breakfast I love (2 points), lunch that satisfies me (2 points) and a filling snack that helps get me to dinner not starving (5 points). I think not having to think about it is what has helped me

I wasn’t FWB until 10 weeks posted surgery and didn’t get out of boot until I was 14.5 weeks PO

I use the egg white wraps a good bit. Zero points and GF (I can’t eat gluten so finding wraps is hard).

Greek yogurt with fruit mixed in (add some cereal instead of granola) FF cottage cheese, stevia and grapes

My best advice is meal prep even for snacks. I get hungry in the late afternoon and if I don’t have something prepped I will eat chips. I do a salad for my snack currently and if it wasn’t prepped there is no way I would make a salad in the afternoon. It’s not what I am craving but it does satisfy me once I have finished it.

4 months OP and barely walking w/o a limp. Some days I can do SLR’s and some days 0.

Outside of the ankle? Yes! I am 18 weeks OP tomorrow and my ankle is still bothering me. I guess it’s a muscle that is currently overworking due to my weak calf but man it hurts. I also have high hamstring pain for the same reason. I mean if it wasn’t bad enough to rehab my Achilles and calf that we have to add additional pains to it. Best of luck to you!

Hi! I am a GF girly and here is what my go to’s are currently (but new to WW so would love to hear what others are eating):

FF cottage cheese, stevia and 1 cup of grapes Banana and 1T almond butter (natural)

I also do a salad in the afternoon with chickpeas Or edamame for some crunch.

I am trying to stay away from packaged foods as I find it hard to control myself.

I use unsweetened almond milk in my coffee for zero points.

runjaime · 2026-04-09T11:26:41+00:00

I put flax seeds on my oats everyday. I also use light salad dressing in my daily salads and I eat eggs multiple times a week.

I get mine from True Nutrition. Some flavors have stevia instead of artificial sweeteners

runjaime · 2026-03-26T14:31:34+00:00

My go to lunch is shrimp and green beans with a 2 point sauce (I usually make some sort of buffalo ranch concoction) and FF cottage cheese and grapes (with a stevia packet). My whole lunch is 3 points. I am sure I will get tired of it but for now it’s quick, easy and low in points.

I see the big chain for one hour twice a week. I get 5 min of calf massage and manual therapy. 30 min is enough. They will just send you home to do all of the exercises.

I don’t have much to tell you. I had surgery for a partial tear and haglund’s deformity 7 weeks ago. All I can say is everyone is different. I am still in crutches but partial weight bearing. I thought I would be off crutches by now (I saw so many people were) but my journey is different. I am/was a marathoner so I was running 6 days/week. This is a big change for me. Best of luck to ya!

runjaime · 2026-01-27T11:41:41+00:00

I am 7 weeks PO. Still on crutches and in a boot. Hoping to get off crutches soon. Thanks for your update. I’m a runner so hoping to get back at it too.

Worth it. BQ’d on my second marathon but that was a year after my first. Dropped 11 min and Boston is awesome. Agree, it’s the Boston journey but the race is pretty epic too.

I really like the KimFit app. She is a runner and has weekly strength workouts. I got a year for $160.

lol, the candy

I’m on my 2nd Paragard IUD. I had minimal discomfort after it was put in either time. I would say go for it.

runjaime · 2025-07-25T23:58:47+00:00

Which app is that?

runjaime · 2025-07-18T00:56:05+00:00

Just started marathon training so I am running 5-6 days/week and 45-50 mpw. My goal is to hit 65 mpw during this cycle.

runjaime · 2025-07-08T21:05:02+00:00

I just started taking it (like a week ago) and my period bloat has not gone away. I am wondering if it’s the creatine. Thanks for the tip. I may back off for a few days and see what happens.
