Interesting observation

July 6, 2009

i totally agree Gary.

i have found when I eat healthy i don't crave the bad stuff anymore.

being a veg one can still eat bad, and I have... Such as bad carb

snacks, luckily i don't do it often, but when i do I feel " heavy " and

crave more bad stuff. When I then eat healthier, I don't crave it

anymore, and i actually crave the good stuff, even the greens!

I fell off the veg wagon back in December, after being a vegetarian for

4 years. I am heading back on the wagon now, as now, every time i eat

meat, i get cramps!

blessings,

Are you kidding? I fight the sugar, junk food and cigarette urge every single

day.

I could easily sit and eat these things: a dozen jelly donuts, large bag of

potatp chips, a pound of candy, 5 orders of large fries, whole fruit pie, stick

of butter and a huge bag of Cheetos.

I have been a vegetarian for almost 30 years and the craving is always there. I

haven't smoked cigarettes for over 10 yrs and I could easily start smoking again

with the drop of a hat.

I'm Donna I'm a recovered junk food addict and a recovered tobacco addict. I

will never say never, I just do each day as it comes but the urges are always

there.

LMAO! Too funny, Donna.

I hear that and raise you a bag of

Cheetos!

One day at a time with the salty-sweet

sugar and junk cravings, eh?

I'm like Donna, I'm a huge sugar addict -- cookies, brownies, cake,

chocolate candy. Usually has to be chocolate. Could really care less about

salty stuff -- except for CHEETOS... I can't buy them anymore because they

really are, seriously, addictive for me! I don't have an addictive

personality, never had any addiction problems, but CHEETOS.... oh my.

Meat substitutes pretty much fix my meat cravings. I used to think I could

never be a vegetarian because I liked a good fillet mignon too much -- but

the last few times I had a steak (over 2 years ago), it just didn't taste

very good and I couldn't finish it.

I can't be the most addicted person but when I say, OK enough is enough you are

going to make a change, oh man! I'm like a drill sarg. I need help from no

one, I will do it on my own.

I have my cravings under control but I can easily fall off the wagon, if that

happens get your butt right back on and start over again. Never hate yourself

for it, we are human and to be human is to error now and then.
