It's those outside influences.

Yum. I'd rather have that than Harold's any day. But, the first few weeks, I gorged myself on it, weaned myself off and then gave myself permission to eat it if I wanted to, in moderation. :)<br><br>I prefer home cooked meat to fast food stuff, I find.V dothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01784897407960721194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2020523209903869002.post-83753416158417945152011-02-05T11:55:03.203-05:002011-02-05T11:55:03.203-05:00my new thing is not forcing life. When we are read...my new thing is not forcing life. When we are ready to do something we will do it. I'm kinda organic/lazy like that. When it's time to completely be on that path the universe will open you up to it. i battle the sugar and carbs monster daily. its just my thing. i did buy some succacant an organic cane juice alternative to suagr. i learned about it at vegan cooking class. i love coffee. it brings me joy so i dont plan on taking it away ever. i see nothing wrong with a nice cup of coffee in mornings. i am thank god over the meat monster. even tho, sometimes i want chik fi la. i think that craving is more cuz i see them everywhere down here.Tricia Herseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08053138646666974306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2020523209903869002.post-23246878988285151462011-02-05T11:01:16.684-05:002011-02-05T11:01:16.684-05:00Moderation?

I'll have it once a week now.<br><br>I posted on your FB page and said I don't like 'carbs' - I'm not a bread or pasta person, at all. I do looove homemade french fries and homemade mashed potatoes and will indulge in both twice a month. LOL. <br><br>I think that moderation is important. You can have what you want, if you want it, in little bits here and there. It'll help with the cravings. If you do want a burger, get a GOOD burger and eat half.<br><br>If I want sugar, I either bake something from scratch and take some over to the fam so I don't eat it all or I eat something super rich and decadent and only a little bit. No cheap sugar. . <br><br>I also don't keep junk food of any kind in the house. Out of sight, out of mind.<br><br>If you want to go completely off the sugar, caffeine, meat, carb beast, set a date and just do it.V dothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01784897407960721194noreply@blogger.com
