Tortilla chips, refried beans, queso, salsa, nachos. (Basically any Mexican food).

The problem with these is that I overeat them. Even the veganized versions. I just eat and eat. Realized this morning that I need to eliminate them from my diet entirely. That seems to be the only option for me. I can't say "no" to them, so best to just eliminate the option.

Thanks for letting me get out a little mental therapy. Wink

Chocolate! So I took vegan chips melted them and dipped strawberries in it. Took care of my craving!

On my side I realize that certain food will chemically trigger craving even if healthy.

I have also notice that I had a false belief that if healthy and good for me, then I can have as much as I want.

So, I have to be aware of what food will get me into a downward spiral / the trigger one

Remove what is healthy that I can not control amount (Smart Balance spread is an example)I now sprinkle olive oil on my veggies instead of a big spoon of smart balance.

Overall, we are all in the process of getting healthier.

My cravings didn't change very much when I went vegetarian in 2000 or when I went vegan January 2010.

I crave pasta and anything salty/crunchy!
That's basically been my downfall my entire adult life.

I've learned to eat whole wheat pasta and limit the salty crunch to healthier options and smaller servings. I quit eating out of the bag, put some in a bowl, when the bowl's empty, I'm done.

I was never a dairy food / cheese eater so that wasn't an issue. Sometimes when my husband would cook eggs they smelled good and I wanted one, but I don't know that I would actually call that a craving. After awhile it didn't even smell good anymore.

I actually had to make a cake at work and was able to watch everyone eat it. It took alot for me not to grab a piece. But I did it. I love sweets so passing on it was a big accomplishment.
