Will I ever be able to control my cravings?
I have been loving a good nacho salad with salsa. And since the moment I made it at home with a few of my own additions, I just can’t get enough of it. The same goes for red sauce pasta, because I am a fanatic for it. If you dislike pasta, only God can save you. Till then, you can’t sit with me!
I kept a fast recently and I can’t shut up. Since a few posts, I have been constantly telling you about it and that’s because you can learn about a person when they lose their temper. And that happens for me when I am hungry. This time was no different. I could manage the mornings pretty easily but it was the evening that hell broke loose.
Every fast has different things that we have to avoid throughout the day and this time it was salt. I couldn’t eat salt throughout the day and at first it felt like a piece of cake. But as the day progressed, I started to feel the craving come to life. My hand was reaching towards food as if I hadn’t had anything since forever.
Somehow I overcame the craving and completed the fast. But I could feel how weak I am. I couldn’t control myself for a day. Is that what it has come to? It was exactly felt that I was a chain smoker, and I was forced to stop smoking for a full day and I’m not being dramatic. I never knew I was a slave to my cravings. If you think you are strong, I challenge you. If you really are a foodie and love food as you claim, it will be one of the biggest tests of control that you will give.
I felt like an addict and have decided that day that I never want to feel so affected ever again. You never know you are addicted to something until one fine day you have to live without it. And if food or fancy dishes have become something that I keep craving so badly, I should start giving them up. I can’t let them control me because ultimately it is unhealthy food. So, what are you craving right now?
Until next time, Adios amigo!
I have been a slave to my cravings since I was in school and this reminds me of something else that I used to love in school. That thing was bus rides. I have taken the bus to school for 13 years of my life and trust me, it was one of the best memories I have. You can read about this in detail, HERE!
