when will the cravings end???
| Fri, 03-19-2004 - 9:17pm |
DH and I are on day 5 of phase 1. We were just at the market stocking up for a trip to visit the inlaws this weekend, and all I could think was mmmmmm cookies. mmmmmm candy. mmmmm rice, pasta, bread!!! I enjoy all the food on this phase, but I really miss grains - even brown rice, quinoa, barley. I know we'll be able to eat these soon, but what's this business about cravings going away????
I honestly don't think I'll ever be repulsed by jelly beans or gummy bears or tea cookies. I'll never be able to walk down a candy aisle and think "eh, not for me". We have not yet slipped up, mainly because we WANT the cravings to go away - but I'm just having a hard time believing that they will.
Anyone else?

I promise-they go away.
The cravings will go away and you will need no willpower to stay on SBD. It starts to happen in week two.

I am right there with you. I have two kids, 7 and 4. They are both healthy eaters, especially for their ages, but Saturday morning has always been big breakfast morning. My 7 year old son requested French Toast. Now I make it with whole wheat bread, so it's not actually that bad until you add the powdered sugar and syrup. I was really tempted just to eat the couple of bites he left on his plate. I resisted, but it was hard. I'm on day 5 and I actually feel great this morning. More energy than I've had in a while, but I would sure love a big ol' cinnamon roll right about now.

Lori,
Good for you for resisting that french toast.
