Even before I started on this WOE I knew that if I ate any sweet thing, I was going to crave ( and eat) sweets the rest of the day. So it's been easy for me to know that if I cave in to the craving, I'll just start that vicious cycle all over again. If I get a craving for something, I usually find that if I have a couple olives, that it takes away the need for anything else. Plus I know that if I eat sweets, I will upset my stomach and have that IBS flare up.
