I'm on a diet, again for the millionth time!
And every single time I start dieting I keep cursing and swearing from the moment I wake up in the morning till the moment I sleep at night. You see I love food. I enjoy it and I indulge in this pleasure and with very few exceptions I don't even feel guilty about it. Yes , of course, there are those depressing moments when I decide to I need to lose weight, like a few days ago when my jeans decided not to botton up , for instance. But those moments are scarce and usually lead to disastrous decisions like me going on a diet!
So anyway, throughout the day I try to occupy myself with other things so as not to think about food. That usually works with one exception; I crave something sweet around 5-6 pm. It's actually more like an addiction or an attack than it is a craving. And given that I'm such a sweet-tooth, I never looked at fruits for instance as a solution. See for example I love apples, but when I say apples, I don't mean the red or green fruit that would make a normal person happy. When I say apple I mean apple as an ingredient as in baked apple crumble pie with pecans, cinnamon, vanilla ice cream and caramel. Exactly like loving garlic; i love garlic in pasta sauce with oregano, olive oil and tomato salsa for example that doesn't mean i can eat it on its own.
So, please, when I start complaining about craving something sweet, save me the "Yasmine ya habibty, have an apple or a banana" cause as far as I'm concerned, you're just offering me a cucumber!
It's only been 4 days but I miss food!

Add sugar to the fruit u r eating.. like a sugar tsp on an apple.. it will sweeten it, and I don't think will be with high calories like apple pie or whatever else :)
