Everybody has cravings but when it comes down to it, youre the only what that can decide what you eat. I used to feel like such a cow because I ate a lot of sweets and stuff sometimes when I just wanted to have a little, you can't keepm doing that, you might have to be hard on yourself, but if you want to lose weight you have to be willing to do that. Sometimes, people are to themselves what for example and grandma or mom might be when you're having a hard time with something, like when you're trying to lose weight and saying it's too hard I cant do it then the grandma mom voice in your head starts comforting you and saying o you've tried so hard you're working so hard don't worry about it, you deserve those sweets a little bit won't hurt. what I'm trying to say is, you know when you just feel like you've had enough of soemthing like trying to lose weight and you say you can't do it anymore, you mom or maybe your grandma or somebody might say o its ok you worked so hard you deserve some sweets, I know that sometimes happened to me with my mom, and sometimes thats what people do to themselves they comfort themselves and trick themselves into thinking it's ok. Well ITS NOT!!!! You can't just live your life saying just a little bit wont hurt all the time because that little bit adds up. I'm nto sure if you know what I mean about the mom grandma thing lol I cant really explain it, anwyays, you have to be tougher on yourself, that little bit will hurt, trust me, I know. Just say no, don't let yourself eat it, maybe if you need to once in a while might be okay but just control yourself! I'm tired of hearing people saying they cant stop eating sweets and that its just a little it wont hurt, you're not going to get anywhere like that. You're the only one who can stop you fro eating those sweets and you should really be honest to yourself about how much that "little bit" will hurt. To me it seems that sometimes when you have to lose weight, you can be your own worst enemy but you really thank yourself in the long run. It's not good to be hard on yourself or anything, but if you really can't control it then you will have to do what it takes to get over it and learn how to control those cravings. You can do it, I know you can, you have to be strong and just try not to eat the sweets, it wont be that hard after a while. Good luck. P.s. Sorry if I was confusing with the mom grandma thing lol I just don't really know how to explain what I mean... thats the closest I can get I guess lol but I dont think aybody will understand what I meant :S anyways, GOOD LUCK YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
