The problem was threefold:
1. I loved salt and vinegar crisps (other parts of the world call them chips but being from ?? Chips are ?!!) and had a packet every day.
2. I also LOVED sweeties.... pretty much all varieties but mostly chewy ones, the d’ours being ??!) and I used the sugar fix to give me the energy I needed to get me through the day.
3. I am English so drank and absolutely enjoyed drinking gallons of tea ?
I couldn’t envisage changing any of these loves and sort of didn’t want to... except I didn’t want them to “rule” me. I wanted to be able to take it or leave it. I have two long term conditions and I believed these three indulgences helped me through each day. On the challenge I listened and absorbed the teaching Eric gave each day, the first two weeks really surprised me. I’ll leave you to find out for yourself what unfolds throughout the 12 weeks, I don’t want to spoil anything for you. Suffice it to say I had no problem giving up tea and had a few cravings for my daily bag of crisps and lots more for sweeties but since finishing the 12 week programme I haven’t eaten sweeties! I’m no longer addicted to sugar ??, crisps ?? or tea ??. I have chosen to drink the odd cuppa but can absolutely take it or leave it, the same goes for crisps. I have chosen not to eat sweets because I don’t want to return to where I was with that addiction. I’m not confident enough with my food angel’s strength that if I tasted it my food devil might lead me astray and I may not be able to take it or leave it once I try that particular vice again. I don’t miss it though, because I still get a sugar rush. Now my sugar rush comes from fruit, salads and vegetables and I couldn’t be happier about that. You might have the willpower to give up on your food cravings for a week, a month, for ever and if you’re in the last group then that’s great... but have you? If not why?!! If you’re in the former group, how come you give up after a week or a month??
