I have one piece of dark chocolate after lunch each day - and I really don't crave these types of items anymore.

After eating clean for a while, I no longer have a craving for this type of junk, but the key for me is knowing that this is my lifestyle and not a diet. I know that if I want to have that candy I can, it is my choice and I chose to eat clean!! I find myself wanted my naturally sweetened vanilla greek yogurt with mango. I always pack my food with me and I give myself treats like organic dark mint chocolate bar. It is 70% cocoa and infused with pepermint extract, soo yummy!! I also make the cookies and treats out of the magazines so I always have something clean if I crave sweets.

I remind myself of all the unhealthy, artificial ingredients that are in these foods, especially high fructose corn syrup! I think of how much it will alter the natural metabolic processes in my body, and my hormones, that work most efficiently to burn calories when eating clean.

I say to myself : I have 2 choices.....1) If I choose to eat this treat, then I will feel sluggish, guilty, and gain weight or 2) If I choose to eat the clean snack I brought along, then I will feel satisfied, triumphant, and slimmer. Walking past the temptation is not about what I know or don't know; it is simply making the healthy choice that works for me today!

Eating on schedule (and having my cooler at hand) is key for me. I also know that at the end of the day, if I'm on track, a glorious piece of Godiva or my coconut oil fudge awaits. :-) And either of those are way better than the crap that finds its way into the office!
