Salty Snacks

Thanks again Dee—

I have been craving cheese–I know that my cravings will disappear just like my craving for sugar eventually died off.  This isn’t easy and it is a real leap of faith.  We all know that  “This too shall pass!”    I am down to 2 Diet Mtn. Dew’s per day and tomorrow, I plan to make it one!  I can do this and so can Dee!  Let’s just stay strong and not let life get us down.  We are smart, kind, and important!

The brand we bought was kind of bland and the thought actually crossed my mind to put salt on them! I’ve even eaten granulated beef bouillon on occasion when I feel like I need salt…disgusting! I guess the cravings are comparable to people who have trouble with wanting sweets. I couldn’t care less about sweets. Here is an interesting article I found online about better choices for salt cravings:
