rahree Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Oh, y'all. That sugar dragon is one powerful beastie. I've been doing pretty well for the last few days - and I'm finding all kinds of digestive issues going by the wayside, which in this short time is pretty fantastic. BUT (there's always one, isn't there?) It's Friday. And I am craving sugar in all its forms. Cheese cubes and a glass of wine, a beer and fries, a piece of cake, a milkshake. If I could tackle a stack of pancakes and syrup and wash them back with mimosas? I'd be in heaven. (Well, for at least as long as it would take me to eat the meal...no doubts I'd be feeling like crud shortly thereafter.) I know this way of eating is better for me - like I said, I'm already feeling the benefits. But I cannot imagine heading home from the office and putting a vegetable or piece of beef into my piehole. Maybe I'm just not hungry enough yet? Anyone have advice or encouragement? (Pretty please?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenderbender Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Stay busy.... Work out...play word games...engage your mind.... And do deep breathing exercises ..... Also make sure your eating enough fat with your meals.... Fat really satiates you. Your cravings will come and go.... Eventually they will all go away ...

Guest Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 There always is that "but..." Did it help to tattle on yourself? For many of us, it does. I fought sugar by snacking on green olives. Snacks aren't ideal, but I figured I could fight the sugar dragon by giving my body fat and the sour got me going. Drink water and prepare your meal. Think of something you can get down - maybe a soup or a hash or something else with some smoothness. If you don't want a whole meal, follow the template and have a smaller meal with protein, fat, and veg. Hey, maybe an omelette is in your future. Anyway, don't let yourself go hungry and stick with it. Tattle, distract yourself, occupy yourself, and feed yourself good food! You've got this!

rahree Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 I took the dog for a long walk, which helped...and i think the tattling helped too. thanks for the support, y'all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
