Stages of Struggling With Cravings
Have you ever been at war with yourself during a diet, or just in general when you're fighting off a craving? I have those inner dialogues with myself all the time, and it feels like your brain is having a civil war. This includes last night, when I realised I had a secret stash of chocolate in my gym bag. It was late, I had already eaten a snack (fibre cereal: I was being so good!), and I was about to go to bed, but similar to how a predatory animal sets its sights on prey, I was fixated: I couldn't turn my brain off once I remembered the chocolate. Can you guys relate to this scenario?

"It's not worth it. It's so much sugar, and sugar is a drug. It's why you're thinking this way."

"You're thinking like a drug addict!"
"No, I'm not! I just like chocolate, okay?!"

"Your stomach will be pudgy. Definitely not worth it. Besides, you've already had like seven in the past two weeks."

"Oh, come on, it basically won't even affect your body at all. You won't even notice. AND it'll taste SO good."

"You've been trying to lose weight though!"

"You're fine. You're PMSing, so your body basically NEEDS chocolate to survive right now. It's simple physiology."

"Chocolate is fuel to you: just give your body what it needs. You have this craving for a reason."
"No, you have this craving because it's a drug ... "

"I'm just gonna smell it."

"Wait ... What are you doing??? Don't ... DON'T!!!"

"WHATEVER!"
