For me, to get through "those" times, I just stay focused on exactly that.... it's a time, and it will go. "This too, shall pass" is one of my favourite sayings. I just feel like I'm blindly clinging to whatever I can get my hands on, but I know that the darkness will fade, and I will be so much happier at the end of the day. I read on a thread somewhere, a woman said she would just tell herself "not right now" until the cravings passed... so I say to myself "I'm not going to have that right now", instead of "never". I also focus on the fact that when I was eating whatever, I would fixate on something starchy, want it SO badly, then eat it and be so disappointed and feel disgusting after.
