(34,845 posts)It hit me when I was in a Chiles restaurant in Chicago, stuffing spicy tortillas in my mouth: "When should I take care of any physiological problems that come my way? After they become a problem? Or before?"
And I didn't give up all those things in one fell swoop, but gradually and now it's the norm for me.
Looking back on how I thought about food, it was very similar to how I felt with cigarettes 30 years previously: I obeyed my cravings. Same mindset. Same 'excitement' about food as I had with tobacco.
I still get an Imo's Pizza or White Castle hamburgers and fries once in a while but I mark the calender when I do so I'm not tempted to make it a regular occurrence.
Ice cream didn't last long in my family, either.
