Food Weakness



Food weaknesses. They are no fun at all. Everyone has them. They are something that we just love to eat and have a hard time saying no to them. Our brain and body know we shouldn't eat this food but there is that little part inside, that little voice that says - Eat it! Do it!

For me, that weakness item used to be sweets. Oh boy, I LOVED chocolate so much. However, when I got pregnant, chocolate made me have horrible heartburn. So it was goodbye chocolate. It actually wasn't hard because being in massive pain just wasn't worth it, I think most could agree.

So out the door went chocolate but sadly was replaced with another bad item - French fries. Of my gosh, now I couldn't get enough of them. They were so delicious. They made all the pregnancy issues I might of been having just fade away.

Luckily, after delivery the big craving for French fries faded away (actually a lot of fast food cravings in general faded away - a great thing!) BUT again was sadly replaced with another item - chips. I believe this stemmed from my stay in the hospital after my c-section. I hasn't eaten in almost 2 days. I was in labor for 24hrs and by the time I could eat it was pushing 2 days. It was late at night and all they had to eat were baked lays potato chips and a turkey sandwiches. I fell in love with baked lays and haven't looked back.

Now I crave them all the time. Any chips really but mostly regular baked lays, tortilla chips and veggie straws. I think I crave salt now which is hilarious because I hate salt in most cases. Was never a fan but now who knows.

So now I struggle against resisting my food weakness. It isn't too bad but sometimes it sucks. I just keep doing my best and focus on each day and the little victories.

Do you have a food weaknesses? 
How do you fight them? 
Anyone else have the same as me, and if so any suggestions to fight it?

    1. Thanks for following. I am now a new one for you too.

      Yeah, potatoes are super delicious. Luckily my husband is nice about sacrificing and eating what I eat or I try to make him something a little different to help satisfy his hunger. My twin boys are only 5 months old so luckily no worries with them... yet! *haha*

      I have grown to love sweet potatoes. Mmmm. Super delicious! The only problem is I love butter in them so I have to watch that.

  2. SWEETS! Although i love bread, chips, all that too. But mostly sweets. And the only way for me to not crave them is to NOT EAT THEM! Sounds genius, huh? Haha. I know people say all things in moderation but i don't believe that when it comes to junk. I mean - it's junk! And every time i eat it, i just want it more. :P

    1. I agree! I would rather not taste one bit of it than just a small amount. If I see a cookie on the counter and I am like - oh, I will eat just one - yeah, that NEVER works. I have the taste in my mouth now and I just crave more! Then I end up going back for more. If I just don't even give myself any, then that temptation is easier to beat because I can think of all the negative things rather than only think of how delicious it tastes in my mouth. *haha*
