    Thanks to all who responded. I had a really good day yesterday. I had a no junk food day, upped my protein and drank a lot more water. It felt really good. Going on my 2nd day of no junk. Went to a vegetarian restaurant for lunch and it was delicious!! To all who said cold turkey - I think I am going to be able to do it just by making some substitutions so I have my tools. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I hope you all have a wonderful day!!

    one of my problems was the donuts that would be bought EVERY Friday at work....when they came in I would take one, then want more, and more......I was donating cash to the fund, and I felt "entitled" because of that...so I stopped putting my money in the pot...that nipped that in the bud...when my coworkers told me there was donuts, I just ignored them and didn't leave my desk....this helped my to curb these cravings...I did want to go get one in the beginning, but told myself NO I won't... I do keep snacks at my desk, and try to stay out of the kitchen...I did add Ensure High Protein drink and that has also helped in this....I used to eat pasta almost everyday, and have cut back on this...

    lately it turned out that I have gluten problems, so I am trying to cut back but I must keep eating all this in order to have an accurate test...once I go for the test, I will officially be cutting all this stuff out, maybe forever...depends on the results....I have found tho, if I eat something with sugar in it, I want more, and more...if I don't have it, even at the beginning it isn't that hard to abstain...it's a mindset.....

    Excellent! You will feel even better once you've managed to control the sugar cravings once and for all!

    I got some advice from a person (Darya Pino) online. If you ever heard of her she is a scientist who also is very much into eating healthy, exercise, etc. Google her if you want to look at her website as I am not trying to make an ad here just a point. She suggested that I put some beans in my diet to offset the cravings. So I added black beans for my lunches for a while (now just eat beans once or twice a week) and that seemed to help.
