I need advise...having a craving

[jeannieh99]

I am craving pop corn atm....(I'm not pregnant...lol)
Since going raw (a little over 3 weeks ago), I have not had this craving. As a former pop corn addict, I am amazed that I have not been longing for it. Today I am. I am wondering if any one else has had this craving and what did you do to get around it. I am wondering why I might be having this particular craving. I hope you guys can advise me and help me get around this craving.
TIA

I am learning to channel my thoughts aka cravings in this case so when I get a craving I get it out of my head... fast! So when you think about the popcorn quickly switch your thougts to something else. Really after this long without popcorn it is your mind and the memory of popcorn that is causing the craving. Create a new memory of something great (raw whatever you like here!) or get out of the house and do something other than what you are doing. This works!

could you be craving the sodium? Try juicing celery because that's REALLY salty tasting to me. Did you ever eat the popcorn as a comfort food for emotional reasons or where you just plain old addicted ;) If it was a comfort thing, maybe tap in to how you are feeling or something.

No,I think just plain old addicted. I just love the smell of fresh popped, dry-hot crunchiness, buttery flavor of pop corn. I love the way it feels in my mouth as I crunch down on it.
I don't miss salt, I get plenty of that.

Hi Jeannie,

I read somewhere that whenever your body is in the process of getting rid of something, you'd crave for it. Maybe your body is detoxing from popcorn??? Kinda silly, but just maybe....:o
