Had a BIG 'food' craving today - for salt and vinegar chips - oh my gosh it was SO strong and it lasted the entire day- what is with that??!! How can a body 'want' a particular thing so much it can overtake my mind and actions?
At first I tried completely ignoring the 'need' for salt and vinegar anything, but then started to eat 'around' it which is nonsense as in the end one consumes excess calories for no good satisfaction! I asked myself what it was that I wanted the most out of the salt and vinegar chips - and it was the tartness/tanginess mixed with salt. So, I got out some balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil and one piece of foccacia bread and dipped that into the vinegar/oil mixture. It totally hit the spot!! ... And with the foccacia having some coarse salt on top, I got the salty/vinegar mouth sensation that I was really craving. I know it wasn't the best 'caving into the craving', but I felt that it really served as a darn good substitute, and I got to say no to the chips twice in my day as they were sitting under my nose (at the gas station, and grocery check out stand)!
Does anyone else out there ever experience a strong craving for one particular thing, and if so, how do you manage it?
Thanks,
Christina
