Anyone else get the 3pm sweet tooth?

[luvmyhalo]

Around 3pm, I start heading to the pantry to get my chocolate fix. There was nothing there! I resorted to eating raw chocolate chip cookie dough! Anyone else have this dangerous addiction??!!

 

[Miranda]

Yes, it was a candy corn fix today.

 

[Skippy123]

I would LOVE a Kit Kat right now!!! haha

ETA: I am like Omie and just grab a Fiber One Bar if I am craving chocolate

 

[omieluv]

That happens to me all of the time. So, I grab a banana. I know, not as fun as a chocolate treat, but a healthy alternative with natural sugar.

I''ve tried this. I just end of eating the banana...and then my 3 oreo cookies, or m&m''s or brownie, etc.... I have NO self restraint!

Hey now, there''s nothing un-natural about processed white sugar!

Maybe I''ll go grab a banana. I probably wouldn''t be so grouchy at 5.

I think it''s combined with my caffeine fix....every workday at 3 pm I get a caramel macchiato.

All of you Fiber Bar and banana eaters have such enviable self-control! I just raided my kitchen cabinets--twice--for Sour Patch Kids.

P.S. I just realized this is my 500th post!

OMG Skippy, I am so into Fiber One bars!! I buy the big box that has 10 of them, which is of course the chocolate chip version!!

I love all sugar, really I do...however, there are people who will not even eat bananas, due to their high sugar content.

I have this same craving as well...I call it the Oprah munchies (since she comes at 4pm here). I go crazy sometimes just looking for anything sweet.

It''s 3:03 p.m. and I''m dipping pretzel rods in Nutella!!!

YUM!!! That sounds delish! That makes me want a crepe with Nutella, strawberries and whipped cream

 

[cbs102]

this does happen to me... so i start drinking a bottle of seltzer at like 2:30 and then have a handful of almonds... it works because the seltzer fills me up before i am even hungry...

 

[NewEnglandLady]

I''m munching on Hot Tamales as we speak. I am so busy at work now that I don''t have time to run out and grab something at 3 anymore, so I actually bought them at the grocery store last night in anticipation of my 3 p.m. sweet tooth. Last week I was trying to eliminate candy from my diet and had hot tea instead...which just made me hungrier for some reason.

Oooooh, that sounds GOOD!!!

I''m always looking for new ways to eat Nutella!

 

[princesss]

Oh, I get that craving! I get it at noon, 1, 2, 3, 4, and on and on and on.

It''s why I don''t keep change at my desk. Otherwise I run to the candy machine and go NUTS!

 

[LtlFirecracker]

I totally have a sweet tooth and 3 pm is the worst. My schedule being busy has actually worked in my favor, because either I forget it is 3pm or I can''t get away to eat something. We will see what happens now that things have slowed down. I love ice cream, and if I can''t have that, there is a candy stand at work

 

[rainydaze]

lol, my DH and i thought were the only ones! we have both resorted to eating baking morsels on days when there was nothing else.

 

[MonkeyPie]

LOL DH does this. It''s usually because he eats around noon and he always feels the need for something sweet afterwards.

I have to be careful with my 3pm (or later) sweet fix because if I don''t eat real food in an hour or two afterwards I get what I call the "sugar shakes". My hands and legs get super shaky and wobbly and it feels terrible. I get hot, too.
