Question of the Week: What Are You Craving?

By Laura Moncur @ 5:00 am — Filed under:

If you have been faithfully following a New Year’s Resolution, you’re probably craving something right now. Maybe it’s a craving for a lazy day without exercise. Maybe it’s a craving for your favorite food. Let’s talk about those cravings right now.

What are you craving?

Why aren’t you allowing yourself this?

Have you caved into your craving before? What happened?

What would happen if you did?

Is it possible to cave into your craving in a controlled manner so that it won’t disrupt your goals? How?

Whatever it is, your assignment for this week is to write a full page about it and then find a way to work it into your schedule. Whether it’s a day of rest or a certain food, there HAS to be a way for you to enjoy that food in a controlled setting. Those cravings are there for a reason. Maybe you’ve been working out too hard or your body is missing a certain nutrient. Maybe that food or activity represents comfort to you. Are you really prepared to live a life without comfort? No? Then let’s find a way to work it into your life AND still be dedicated to exercising and eating healthy.

    I am a candy cane fiend. After Christmas I think I went to every store and bought up every last candy cane because they are all discounted. And I always have the irrational fear I won’t get anymore till next year. I had my husband take them to work with him and only bring home two. (2points total) if he brings home the whole box I will beat him down until he gives them all to me.

    This way, I get my craving satisfied and I don’t overdo it and nobody gets hurt….
