A few days ago, I wrote a lit­tle about our attempts to live a health­ier lifestyle. We went gro­cery shop­ping, and it was eas­ier than I thought to find meals that were in line with our new goals. We’ve had healthy, dairy-free sup­pers for the week. They are actu­ally tast­ing bet­ter than I thought.

My prob­lem though is the crav­ings! Oh, the crav­ings… Last night, I was oh, so close to beg­ging Jason to drive into town to buy me a bak­ery cake. I couldn’t stop think­ing about the frost­ing and the yummy sug­ary feel­ing on my teeth. If I was able to eat dairy, I would put a scoop of cool, creamy ice cream right next to it and let it melt into the cake. Could it get any better?

For­tu­nately, I was able to resist and I did not order my hus­band out in the 40 mile an hour wind to get me a craving-satisfying cake. I am feel­ing a lit­tle less des­per­ate for the sug­ary foods today. I’m hop­ing that what peo­ple tell me is true, and after I’ve eaten healtheir for a cou­ple weeks, I won’t want that stuff nearly as much. Keep your fin­gers crossed!
