Are Cravings Killing Your Plan??? Our Lady of Weight Loss seriously knows how YOU CAN put an end to it!
She’s the patron saint of permanent weight loss!!!  She knows what she is talking about!!!

Dear Our Lady of Weight Loss ~ I was sitting at my desk, feeling just fine, thinking about work, and then out of nowhere.  I swear! Nowhere!!!  A craving came rolling through that knocked me on my ‘tush.’
Can you explain this to me???  Where did the craving come from?  It’s not like I invited it in! ~  Terri W.

Dear T.W. ~ A craving, a.k.a. an intense desire that leaves you longing for a certain kind of food, can be triggered in all kinds of ways! Too many to list here.  And the ‘why’ of it doesn’t matter as much as the ‘WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT!!!’

Even though it seems like the food is in control, there are ways to get a grip And NOT succumb!!!!!

The KEY!!!  Instead of experiencing cravings as cravings, see them for what they really are.  Thoughts.  That is all they are.  They are just thoughts.

Cravings are just one of the many thousands of thoughts that we have each day.  They are not ‘concrete’ in nature.  They are like the clouds rolling in and out.  They are simply thoughts.  And – dig it – not every thought needs to be acted upon.

Chew on that just for a moment.  We do not have to act upon every thought that floats through our minds, least of all a ‘craving thought.’

Simply wave hello to the ‘craving thought,’ and say “Helloooo Craving (like Newman on Seinfeld said “Hello Jerry”).  Here’s your hat.  What’s your hurry?!”  Send the craving thought on its way!

Make “I don’t have to act on my thoughts” your mantra.  Remember, you do have a choice.  Exercise your choice!!! (Yes, it burns calories.)

I know that there are some people who are reading this and thinking that it won’t work.  Maybe you’re thinking that ‘cravings’ are too strong; stronger than you!  You’re having more ’empty thoughts.’  Like empty calories!!!  Not worth having!!!

How resistant are you?  What do you think?  Try using this ‘key’ for one week and see what happens!!!
