[QUOTE="lovinglife, post: 1680794, member: 22428"] If you can avoid them for weeks and don't crave them or think about them until you've had one then why have that one in the first place? - just don't have them at all - no craving. Treats don't have to be about something sweet, carbs or indeed food at all. This is what works for me - I don't have a sweet tooth but ADORE pasta and pizza with a passion and they are my "trigger" foods so just don't touch them at all - haven't had any of these for nearly 9 years. But tell myself I can have them whenever I want - just not today We went out New Year's Eve for the first time in 20 years to a pasta pizza place - knew we were going for weeks. Gonna have a pizza says me, its new year, a one off, planned it so it's okay. Went read the menu, picked my pizza (got proper giddy oooh pizzza- gonna be eating pizza) waiter came over - can I have a.............. sirloin steak rare and green salad please - that's when I knew I'd beaten my addiction (or was I just too scared? Lol) [/QUOTE]
