This week has been a particularly hard one as far as eating is concerned. And it's not like I had any major stressors hanging over my head. Not any that I'm aware of anyway.
In fact, it was quite the opposite. We had some fun stuff to do this week which always perks me up (staying home all day everyday with the kids can be tough at times). We got some wonderful news from my SIL (I'm going to be an aunt!). It was a pretty pressure free, happy week.
My weekend was just as great. I spent it getting some much needed time to socialize. With that socialization though came three days of binge worthy food. LOTS of binge worthy food. And boy did I dive in. I was so stuffed and physically uncomfortable by Sunday night that I was actually turned off to the thought of food (quite a rare thing for me!).
Then this morning came. My intention was to start fresh. I was hungry. I didn't crave the healthy organic oatmeal and blueberries that I had made for the kids and was supposed to eat myself. I wanted a hotdog and some cake...you'd think I'd be sick of that stuff already. I'm sick of craving this stuff. I wish there was a switch I could flick and shut of my desire for certain foods.
Do you ever get to a point where you stop craving the bad stuff? I mean after you've managed to get yourself at a place where eating is under control and the weight comes off? Do you still have to battle every day weather or not to eat that hot dog? Right now I feel so weak.

I feel like that every day. And half the time, I give in.
Don't feel bad and don't give up. I know what craving is like. I am a smoker and have been trying to quit for years, I have tried many different methods to quit but it keeps calling my name and I go running for it.Admitting to anything is better than living in denial, after all we are not perfect and life is striving to improve ourselves.
*delurking* I've been living a healthier lifestyle since June 9, 2008. Although it's only been a about 6 weeks I've gotten to the point where the thought of fattening food disgusts me. After first I craved it all, but I had to remind myself just how many minutes I would have to stay on the treadmill to burn all of it off. So that's what I do now. I think in terms of calories. Just don't let a binge day or week take you off course. Keep at it!
You can do it! I just had a week of giving in to my cravings and all it did was perpetuate more cravings. From most books I have read and from personal experience, if you can go without that stuff for a while you don't crave it as much and then eventually the cravings are replaced by cravings of another kind. For healthy food that makes your body and mind feel good. It's just really hard to fight the cravings at first. You have to be in the right mind frame. You are strong gurl! YOU ARE WORTH IT! :)
