[QUOTE="woollygal, post: 2386620, member: 489059"] For me that was cravings for carbs. it is really really hard but so worth it. If you can don’t have anything in the house, enlist your partner to stop you having that sort of food in the house and maybe set yourself a deadline and then see how you feel. I used to be terrible and to be honest had a major blowout last week which bought out so many of, destrucful habits but it was just carbs. I’ve struggled all week because I want carbs. I end up eating more but I eat what I can eat so meat. I have pork belly and just eat that whenever I want something, I drink tea or something else. It’s incredibly hard but only you can do it. It is just one slip though so today go back to being good and put it in the past. I know that a week after I start being strict I will crave more than ever. It’s about being aware f what it is and not giving it the power, I’m having some Easter egg this weekend. It’s my downfall! But Monday I’ll be back on the diet and it will be toug, my body will do everything it can to make me eat the stuff I can’t. It’s easier in lockdown because I don’t go out. If I’m out and about I have to be really careful. It will get better and it will be easier to say no. You just have to get past the initial nastiness, think of an alcoholic or drug addict. I don’t see any difference with sugar to be honest. The brain doesn’t see a difference, addiction is addiction and UID your body wants it it will almost make you believe that you will die without it. You won’t you have got this Good luck [/QUOTE]
