Cravings return. If you have one cookie how long until you want a second? Realize that cravings are fleeting feelings, and indulging one is even more fleeting. If you ate that cookie what is different? Nothing you crave it again 5 minutes later. If you don’t eat it what is different? You feel strong, powerful, beautiful, thin. Which is more appealing now?

Realize that feelings are not directives. If you see a cute guy/girl do you run up and kiss them? Eating because the whim of eating entered your head is just as illogical. Experience the feeling as an observer and wait for it to pass, you will feel more powerful and in control than you ever imagined!

Cravings diminish over time. Food can be addictive like nicotine. Think about it: the longer a smoker goes without a cigarette, the more likely they are to give them up entirely. Avoid the foods you crave most for as long as you can and eventually you will forget about them. If it’s scary to think about never eating your favorite food again, tell yourself, if you go a whole month without it you can have it on the 31st day. By then you won’t want it. {anaria}

Absolutely! I'm especially prone to that if I have a drink or two!!

Need to try to remember this. It's always hard the first week then it gets easier. Just hard getting it the wheels in motion sometimes.

You know what has eliminated my cravings? Allowing myself a treat each day. I eat all foods I love in moderation.
