[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 1414542, member: 160246"] That was a problem for me initially. In one of the stores I shop, cookies, cupcakes, and cakes are located next to the specialty cheeses and deli case. I could smell it, and it overwhelmed me. I recalled a story an anger management trainer shared with us perhaps 30 years ago. He'd met a woman who was trying to lose weight. Every time she was confronted with a sugary food, she stated in her mind, "poison, poison, poison". I did the same. While that may not work for everyone, it worked for me. That said, I do enjoy the occasional treat. Every Friday, I have dinner with my friends at a local health food store and allow myself to eat one freshly baked, organic Paleo muffin that's made with almond flour instead of traditional grains after dinner and I thoroughly enjoy it. My friends often joke, "looks like you're going to eat the paper too." :) I also enjoy having a slice of citrus or a few berries, fresh or frozen, following lunch and dinner. Breakfast is followed by black tea, lunch by green tea. If I'm having strong "cravings". I have a couple of pats of butter which I find delicious. It's quite the process switching to a whole foods diet that includes healthy fats, proteins, and carbohydrates (in the form of vegetables, sometimes yams or various legumes). But like others here, I enjoy everything I eat. It's just different now. It also helps that I feel healthier. Sugary foods made me sleepy. Eliminating or greatly limiting sugary foods and increasing healthy fats dramatically improved my energy levels. [/QUOTE]
