Cravings

If I were to ask you what food you crave the most, what would it be? If this is an easy answer you are probably depriving yourself of it. I love peanut butter. Peanut butter is a great food; it’s a great source of protein. But I would never allow myself to have it because I would eat the whole jar in a couple of days! So the longer I tried to go without it, the more my cravings would intensify. And finally when I was in a weak moment, I would eat it all and then feel guilty. Then the whole cycle would begin again.Here is the solution. Whatever you crave, eat a little bit of it every day until you no longer crave it. I would have a tablespoon of peanut butter after my breakfast every morning for about two months. I no longer experienced those intense cravings for peanut butter.I used to be jealous of people who say they had potato chip bags in their cupboards. You bought it a week ago and it’s still there?? I used to never keep chips in my house until I got a craving and I would go out and eat a whole bag in one sitting. Now, I take a small plastic bag and fill it with chips and bring it for lunch. I did this almost every day for a couple of weeks and my cravings went away. I no longer needed my fix of potato chips.
