And after all that time doing with out they didnt taste like I remember. So all I did was feel bad and mad at myself for the break down. I dont really have a point here other then those cravings happen to all of us working to change our lifestiles.
Aahhh...peanut butter cups are a major downfall for me, too! Yikes, those are addicting little demonic candies! Don't beat yourself up too much over the slippage. Take comfort in the memory that they're really not THAT good and so you don't have to be tempted by them again.

This helps get through the hunger peaks.
Dr. Fuhrman actually recommends a three-meal a day plan...and snacks only if you really need them to get through the day. I do occasionally snack on nuts, but I try to find raw, as the roasting process that most nuts go through strips them of most of their nutritional goodness. Don't always have the raw ones on hand. I hadn't thought to try the chips...that sounds pretty yummy...maybe a little toooo yummy. LOL At this point I'm still avoiding a lot of "trigger foods" and chocolate of any nature is definitely a trigger....but I do trust in the benefits of real dark chocolate....I may have to test that sometime and see if that little bit of chocolate would be safe enough to indulge in once in a while.
