Giving In

I have been CRAVING sweets/carbs for the past 3-4 days, and today, I just gave in. I bought 2 sugar cookies and ate them, and I don't even care. I'm going to work out tonight, but that doesn't matter because I gave into my craving and now it's silent.

I'm not saying this is always a good thing or the right thing to do, but I'm just saying that I feel better knowing that I'm OK with giving in every once in awhile. So what?

Nothing wrong with giving in every now and then.That is how we keep from going over board with food.I bet the sugar cookies were good!!!!!! Love, Jolynn

I bet your body needed carbs and sugar, sometimes cravings are there for a reason. An two cookies is really very little in the scheme of things. Well done for being accepting of your decision, great step in the right direction!

Surely there is nothing wrong with giving in if you're comfortable with it. It would be good to have that strength.

I have started a new practice, when I crave something I try to have it I say "i AM NOT ON A DIET !" and I have a little of what I wanted...

it is going ok.... a few cookies is a good thing to have in life !
