Well, yesterday and today it has been cool and I've been hungry so last night I ate a handful of pringles and about 6 kisses and felt immediately better.
Do you think that our bodies get used to certain things and they just don't like not having them anymore?
I'm an emotional eater. When I get stressed or depressed...I want chocolate. I've been on an eating plan for over a year now and have lost 43 lbs. I still have a lot more to lose but I am learning to eat healthier. Sometimes I "binge" and eat chips and chocolate. My body likes to fight me by craving things I used to eat. I give in sometimes but for the most part I'm stronger than the urges. At 58, my metabolism has slowed down and it fights me trying to lose weight. My husband says for him "moderation" is the key. Maybe you can work some of the things you like into your plan and not feel so guilty. That seems to be my big problem...feeling guilty and like a failure when I eat what I call "the good stuff". haha
