You can lose all the weight you want and still eat your cravings, I did

The year before retiring I was very chubby. I always loved my sweets and starchy foods like lots of mashed potatoes and anything that was fattening. I lost 65 pounds and still ate my favorite things like candy, ice cream and all the no, no's on most diets. I realized that I never really needed all my cravings in large amounts, I just needed a taste. I did just that and after a few months the pounds kept coming off and my co-workers were amazed. A few times a week I still would go to my favorite ice cream drive through and instead of ordering my large chocolate shake, I ordered the smallest one I could get, sometime even a sample. When it gets down to it, we want to taste the food we crave, we really do not need to eat a huge dish of anything. If I had cake, I had the smallest piece I could get and sometimes share it with others or put it in the refrigerator for the next day. I always had my craving and it satisfied me. I am no more little miss pudgy and I love hearing all the compliments. If I was going on vacation or to something special, I would order the smallest dessert on the menu. The feeling of losing so much weight was the biggest thrill I could get. If I could do it, so can you. Think positive thoughts. I am always near to help you on your journey or answer any questions.
