46: Why you feel out of control with candy

Do you buy the candy you hate for trick-or-treaters so you won't be tempted to eat it?

Or do you have candy in the house and deny a craving by convincing yourself to eat something "healthier" like an apple or popcorn? 

Are you convinced you can't be around candy or you will eat the entire bag? 

This episode is all about what happens when we deny a craving. What better time to talk about this than Halloween??

If we have it around and give ourselves permission to eat the very foods we restrict, over time we will desensitize ourselves to these foods. We may find we don't even really like them. Or we may still love them but learn how to fit them into our eating without having a love/hate relationship with them. 

Take a listen and learn some tips on how to make peace with your cravings!
