You probably still have too many carbohydrates in your diet.

I have been eating some things with Splenda and maybe that's why.

I use Splenda all the time and it doesn't cause cravings. It's more likely hidden carbs. I use half-n-half for my coffee. My husband recently bought fat-free half-n-half. Guess what? The fat-free version has sugar in it. Non-dairy creamer is packed with sugar. I pulled out a package of chicken breasts last night for dinner. For the first time I noticed it said, "solution added to enhance flavor" on the bag. I turned it over and looked for the ingredients: "chicken, water, salt, sugar solids". I was stunned. They added sugar to chicken breasts.
To rid yourself of the cravings you probably need to get the bulk of your daily carbs from vegetables.

Karen, Deb and 2jsmom, CONGRATS on your weight loss!  
Sugar is indeed addictive. As Karen had pointed out previously, it's worse than heroin. I struggle with sugar addiction too. Sugar free foods are good if you can handle them. I can eat them sometimes, but not late at night, because that's when they trigger the sugar, sweets cravings.
Thanksgiving is going to be a challenge for me, because of all of the food we traditionally prepare. Our usual menu includes turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, cranberry salad, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes with brown sugar, mandarin oranges & marshmallows, hot buttered rolls, and of course pie, usually pumpkin and pecan, with whipped topping.
We have made a few, healthier changes to accommodate some relatives with health issues, such as making the cranberry salad and a few pumpkin pies sugar free, but it's the rest of the food that's hard to resist. I've decided to enjoy Thanksgiving foods, but eat small amounts of the carbs and more of the turkey and sugar free salad. I also plan to eat one piece of sugar free pumpkin pie a day.
(and no, you cannot come to my house for Thanksgiving dinner, no matter how good it sounds!)

Isn't that horrible??? We started really looking at labels a few years ago and were very surprised how many low fat or fat free things have more sugar in them than when they were full of fat. I do use half and half in my coffee, but it's not fat free. Thanks for the other tips. I think my cravings are more mental than phisical, but I'll try adding in some more veggies.
Melissa, I hear ya about Thanksgiving. Thankfully I've got some good low carb ideas from up here and my cookbook.

That's not very Christ-like. &:b

That is why I warn people that you have to read labels. Fat free, sugar free, light, it doesn't usually mean what you think or is ramped up in another area to make up. For me, I leave them alone for the most part. I still indulge in Yoplait light yogurt.
