Default Thoughts while I am having a Craving Attack

While I am having a bad craving and I want to pull over to McDonalds or go grab an icecream(yes I love it even in the wintertime) I have this thought while I am in pain "in order to lose weight I am going to lose 1 lb have to say no to my cravings a 100 more times it seems impossible!!!. So I might as well give in now" So basically during this time of agony I am thinking to myself "even if I don't give in right now, I still wont be successful because the next time I have one of these cravings it will be just as difficult and I will probably give n that time" so I am saying it is not worth it. But I realized something trying to lose weight this time around. I said no to a craving 3 days ago and I have not had a bad craving since! I am really happy that I have not had to deal with that again. Although I have given into a few minor cravings(had a cookie yesterday and an iced coffee today) But this wasnt as bad as the 600+ cals I would have used on my big craving

Yes It was Thanks guys! I am glad I said "no" that one time and realized this. Another thing I used to do when I lost weight before was trick myself into thinking it was just one more day. Everyday I would tell myself just one more day of not eating what I want and exercising and I would trick myself into thinking that. I guess thats the saying "take it one day at a time"

I have a food addiction and even as I approach the home stretch, I still doubt myself and if I can even get there. The reason? Those urges to binge. I've gotten a lot better since cutting down drastically on carbs since I used to just binge mostly on carbs. How much can you really binge on chicken? Anyway, I'm so glad you have been sticking to it! Well done!
