Sugar Cravings

No matter what I ate today, I have been plagued by constant sugar cravings.  I haven't had cookies, candies or potato chips for 8 months.  But I slipped with chips few days ago, and even though I couldn't explain the science behind it, I'm blaming them for reactivating my craving for sugar.  

Noshing on Hint of Lime Tortilla Chips was a lot of empty nutrition.  And the extra salt didn't help either. It was delicious in the moment! But thats only temporary!!!   

To combat the cravings, I increased my water intake today.  I also brushed my teeth 3 times, took an extra walk, cleaned my house top to bottom, anything that would take my mind off sugar!

I'm thankful I don't have sugary snacks in the house.  And I tossed out the rest of those chips --- eating chips doesn't work for me!  Which also makes me realize that I cant give in to any impulse I might have for a good burger and French fries.  Not worth it!!!

Self discipline is a mindset.
