One of the most amazing things I have found is I have almost NO cravings for sweets or salty foods like I used to. People at work would bring cookies, candy, and other treats and I would indulge in them big-time. In fact, I am ashamed to say I would sneak extra portions back to my office for later… although they never did last until later.
Since embracing this change, I am able to walk right by the treats and politely decline them when someone specifically brings them to me. What a great gift that is! I am not bothered watching my friends eat things I used to eat, and I don’t make a big deal about it with “Oh, poor me, I can’t have that.” I honestly just don’t have a desire for it anymore.
