Cravings

Just when I think I have “conquered” one craving I find another pops up.

First it was sugar. When Ana, my nutritionist, said she would like to see me cut down on sweets back towards the beginning of my healthy eating I flatly said that isn’t going to happen. Then for the 10 days between Labor Day & Katie’s wedding I decided to do a sweets fast. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, 10 days was a manageable time. After that I didn’t need to have a sweet every night. Just as I conquered that, my carbs craving kicked in. So random, but for a while I really struggled with Go Lean Crunch. I just wanted to snack on it all the time. Slightly sweet and carbs – sign me up! I decided I couldn’t buy Go Lean Crunch then the struggle became cereal with chocolate chips (deadly) so now I don’t keep milk in my house. I bring my cereal and use the milk at work (I know it’s for coffee but I don’t drink coffee so this is my milk consumption).

It’s annoying; will I ever not be struggling with a craving? This will probably forever be a battle for me.
