Does it ever get easier?

[Guest guest]

Hi Suzy,

That is why I am a low carb eater. It is the only way I can keep my

hunger and cravings down. If I ever eat anything high carb like bread,

potatoes, cakes, chips of any kind, and cookies, etc., anything with

sugar and flour basically I lose control, majorly. It gets real hard

for me to stop. So I ignore what we call " goodies " (in other words our

drug) and I can stay on top of the weight battle. I also have to deal

with the 2 year old in me at times when I get mad at life thinking it

is not fair and why I should suffer. Then say hell with it I am going

to treat myself. Well I had to stop thinking of not eating what I

crave is suffering. There are a lot of things in life that can make

you feel that you are not suffering that doesn't evolve around food.

That pleasure seeking high will have to be replaced with endorphins. I

find that in exercise. There is no better replacement for it. Other

than sex. Ha ha. Or sky jumping (no thanks). Thrill seeking releases

the same endorphins but that is not for me.
