wow, guys, we could have our own support group on this!!! and to think that none of us thought anyone could relate!!!
I'm eating a soft pretzel now...lol. I buy them in the freezer section at the grocery and put them in the micro for 30 seconds or so. Soft, yummy, doughy. I think they're called "super pretzel" Yes, less calories than alot of other starches and carbs.
They really satisfy the carb, dough craving. Oh and get this...only 160 calories and only 1 gram fat. I just checked and didn't know that! Maybe that's why I don't gain weight then???
Another thing when i'm craving the sweet is...i sit and much on sugar-sweetened cereal with no milk (i eat it like popcorn...lol)...it gives the wheat, the sugar AND the crunch...no fat.
The not gaining weight might not be a good thing...and that's not to say i'm slim. i'm not. it's to say that during these times i don't eat good.

i'll forego meals to have the carbs...
