Question for all you awesome people!
Let me start by saying I finished round 1 of P90x and am taking a week before starting Insanity. I'm taking the opportunity this week to eat a little off the diet as a reward to myself for barely touching one piece of dessert over the last 3 months. So, a bit of sweet stuff here or there this week (fresh baked cookies from the cafeteria at university! mmm!) isn't going to hurt me especially since I'm back to being completely off the junk food next week
That being said... I still LOVE the junk food. I know others have said they lost their desire to eat junk, but if someone presents me with a cookie vs. a piece of fruit and the cookie was as healthy as the fruit, I'd still pick the cookie.
I have more than enough self control to stop myself from eating it generally - I know I can't eat that stuff if I want to get lean (and stay lean). It's more that I feel like I shouldn't look at a cookie and think 'I want that!' anymore... for example, I used to LOVE eggnog. I still like the taste, but I drank a sip or two yesterday and didn't feel like I wanted any more, so obviously something changed there! But I still feel like I really want the cookies and pies and such... how do you all deal with that? Stopping myself constantly is rather mentally draining...
