If you look at it from the point of really being an addict..
an addict is always an addict.
we earn our clean days.
it's a daily.. constant struggle.
we will have days where we fly through smoothly..
and others where you have to fight yourself to stay on track..
most of my struggles aren't even from hunger
it's all in my mind..
I'll be completely satisfied with the meal i just had
and bam.. I'll want something starchy crunchy carby..
funny thing -
I wanted some fries the other day SO bad.. I could actually taste them.. I could smell em.. could taste how hot they were.. the salt..the pepper... even the mayo i would dip them in - it had nothing to do with something else causing this craving.. It was all mental for me... mentally, I wanted that high (talk about an addict!)
but thankfully, I beat that urge.. (partly because I've been snowed in! lol)

Just keep up the amazing work you have been doing - and remember the blood, sweat, tears, bruises and scars you've gotten to get to your amazing 70 lbs loss (good for you!)

Even if you find yourself already purchasing that meal and you are about to take that bite.. remember, like an addict..
the high isn't worth the rock bottom low feeling you will experience as a result. It's never worth it.

Here's to another day of being 'clean' !
:-)
