Day 13

Not sure where Free is,  so I guess I’ll start this thread.

Day 13 Overcoming Cravings

Prove to yourself that you don’t need to give into cravings…take control of them and make them go away.

Watch for your cravings and monitor them, they may not happen today or tomorrow but they will happen and when they do use the anti craving techniques provided in this chapter as well as the Craving Rate Chart (pg 129).

I have not had any cravings since I was sick so I will not do this today but I will spend this day going over this information so I am armed and dangerous when it tries to sneak up on me.

I am making my craving distraction box, here are some of the items I am putting in:
gum, my favourite tea bags, nail file, nail polish, hand cream, some pictures, a diet book, a stress ball, my 5 mind set technique list, bottle of water, tooth paste, small bottle of bubble bath and response cards that say:
“I can tolerate this craving, it will only last for a few mins."
“If I give in…. (wrong muscle)…is it worth the gained pounds that will be there in the morning?"
“I have to work to build up my resistance muscle, visualize the end result.“
I have not had any real cravings for a little while but I thought I would just for-warn my Give-In Muscle that I am armed and dangerous!!!
