I'm actually less likely to eat bad foods after working out! My advice would be to drink a glass of water and wait like 15 minutes. Your craving will probably go away!
haha doesnt apply to me cuz i dont work out (i know i should) but i would tend to say I would. Hmmm I can have a piece of chocolat cuz I deserve it... maybe not the best way to loose weight
I pull that mind trick too! But now it has to be really, really worth it! If I splurge on a cupcake or something I *try* to talk myself out of it by saying "Okay... if I eat this, thats 45 minutes in spin class."
But hell-- sometimes we deserve a calorie splurge! Mmm and cupcakes are sooooo good.

I am far, far less likely to eat bad foods if I work out. I hate waste, and it feels like a waste to me when I work out, then go and negate all that hard work! But this is also coming from the girl who can't not eat everything on her plate because it would be wasteful. So. I'm doomed regardless. :)
I try to distract myself when I have a craving, though. I go on here and hang out in the fitness board (i.e. now) to get myself back on track...and if that doesn't work, I make a deal with myself, like if I want a cookie, I'll have applesauce. Or if I want chips I'll have some corn flakes. It's just those little exchanges that build up.
It's hard when you have a FI who could eat his weight in donuts every day and remain the same size!!
I work out regularly, but once I've hit my plateau I feel that I can eat like a piggy. Lol.
Like I'll have french fries and chocolate. 
I'll just say, look I've been doing pilates/cardio so hard all week ... I want to eat a fattening meal. Lol.
I'm getting to the point though, where I am so close- four months, that I don't want to splurge at all.
All the time. It doesn't help that the gym is right next to a CVS, so if I want those cheeze crackers (my biggest weakness at the moment), I can just go and get them!
I set short-term goals. If my goal is to lose 2 pounds this week, I tell myself that the (insert yummy but fattening here) isn't going to help me obtain my goal. You could also think of it financially: that $1 for the chocolate bar can go towards that bracelet for the wedding!
I think it also helps that I have no temptation foods in my house! So if I'm really hungry, I'll eat fruit or veggies and drink some water.
I totally do that, "oh hey I did an extra ten minutes last night at the gym and I'm sure I'll go again tonight so I can have this brownie!" But really, not helpful.

If it helps, your body is still in intense fat burning mode for several minutes after a heavy workout. I have noticed that my cravings for junk food after a workout decreases after I have a protein shake.
FI does this all the time! He will spend an extra hour at the gym if he eats a lot of junk. Usually if I'm working out more I don't crave bad foods but once I get started, it takes a lot for me to stop!
Definitely! Working out speeds up your metabolism so what's a piece of chocolate? :)
My usual exercise is bicycling. With the heat we've had here recently, by the time I come back from a few hours of bicycling, I have no appetite left at all!
I used to swim a lot, and after training all i wanted to eat was salad or healthy food ( all the time) now that I'm not working out all I want to eat is fast food (KFC down my street) :( I need to start working out again!!

It depends. Right after working out, I feel really healthy and tend to eat healthy, light meals for breakfast and lunch (I usually work out first thing in the morning) because I don't want to undo all my hard work. But by the evening, I might indulge in a alcohol or more unhealthy food because I feel like I can get away with some extra calories since I worked out. Sometimes, if I know I have plans to go out for dinner or drinks on certain night, I will make sure I work out that day so I won't feel as guilty about indulging.
YES!!! Let me say it again, YES!!!
Especially if it's something like a vanilla coke from Sonic...which just happens to be located right on my route home from the gym...evil Sonic people!
It depends for me. After working out, if i'm really craving something that i shouldn't have, i would see how hard i worked out, how many weight watcher points i have left , and also just think if it's really worth it! If i say yes, then i'll just have a little nibble.. =]
If you reaaaaly crave something, you should eat it. Because otherwise your mind will be constantly ticking back to your craving. That said - it doesnt help if you crave "bad" foods all the time!
I really fall into that trap! I love cheese, fries, beer -- all in smaller portions -- and it's easier to work out than to deny myself the bad foods. It's been a shock, though, to see how much easier it is to overconsume the food than to burn the calories. Yikes! My solution has been to allow a small treat daily and a bigger splurge every few days, maybe twice a week. That said, I enjoy healthy foods too!
i usually crave healthy foods as well. I want to stay on a roll. If I can't work out, I'm less motivated to eat healthy, but not usually vice versa.
It depend on my hunger level. If I go workout with the fiance after work which would be before making dinner then I am very likely to say, "I just worked out, its ok". I convince myself if we got it anyway and I hadn't worked out, I would have been much worse off! If I actually have a substantial snack then I will tell FI to wait until we get home and I make dinner. We are so bad about convincing each other to eat badly. For example, who wants to bet me that tonight after shuffleboard (which it'll be around 11 pm when we are driving home) he will suggest stopping at Jack in the Box afterwards? He knows I cannot resist those taco nachos!
I tend to like eating healthier foods like Miss Snapdragon after I workout, but if I bake or make baklava or something I know I shouldn't eat then I am like, "Have to workout - just so that the baklava doesn't go to my gut". It has been VERY easy to fortget about that in the last few months though! I would try what Miss mascara said, that usually works.
No because when I bust my butt on a good workout and then I eat something bad, then it's like I did all that hard work for nothing and I'm back at square one. It makes me feel guiltier.

I know, the logic isn't there. But sometime after I workout I feel like "hey, it's okay to have that cheese" b/c I worked out? That just negates all the hardwork I've done! I know it doesn't make sense but sometimes I cave. :( Anyone else face this illogical dilema?! How do you talk your self away from the (insert food naughtiness here) ?
