Hi, I have those symptoms sometimes and I heard that if your body is low on a certain vitamin or something then you will crave things that may have that thing your body needs in it. Like I was low in sodium and craved mustard all the time. I also learned that we crave certain things depending on our emotions, feelings and moods.for example- when you're angry you crave crunchy things. Maybe you can journal your cravings and how you are feeling at that moment and maybe after a while you will see a pattern.I hope this helps a little. Stay strong, Michelle

I can totally relate to the flip flopping. Right now I am in anger mode at myself for gaining back 6 pounds of the 40 I have lost. The more angry and disappointed with myself that i get the more I snack. I generally don't want sweet stuff, but when I am going through this cycle I crave sweets. I am thankful that I found this site. I am in weight watchers, but my friends there don't seem to have the same eating issues I have. I have used food for comfort and I am tired of it controlling me.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
