There’s nothing worse when you’re on a healthy eating plan than having to battle a craving. That awful voice in your head telling you that you want, no need, that massive bar of chocolate (and the one next to it) really isn’t what you should be dealing with. What makes it even harder is fighting that craving whilst you happen to be going through the wrong time of the month. (Sorry boys!) Not only do you have to battle with that little devil who’s trying to persuade you to cave in, but you also have to deal with PMT, which let’s face it, only goes away with your favourite treat anyway!
For two weeks now I have been on possibly the strictest diet I have ever tried. No alcohol, caffeine, sugar, processed food, cow’s milk…you name it, I’m not allowed it. I’m basically surviving on a diet of rabbit food and chicken! It doesn’t help then, for the last 48 hours all I’ve wanted to do is get to a shop and stuff my face with Diary Milk! I haven’t though, but it has been tough. Perhaps because the plan is only for 6 weeks there’s a part of me that wants to stick to a diet for a change, or maybe it’s because once I get to week three it stipulates I will be allowed a little indulgence. Right now something tells me it’s the latter!
Whatever the reason though, it’s doing something because I’ve never been known to have such willpower. I’ve taken myself by surprise, so maybe I am actually defying the odds and proving you can beat a craving after all. This could be a breakthrough for me, but I guess only time will tell!
