I did the 30 day challenge, had a break when I went away and now am trying to get back into another challenge, but every other day I am craving (and giving in to) a fried potato fix! This is a nightmare to me and I was wondering if anyone could or would be willing to support me over this next week so that I am answerable to someone? I know everyone has busy lives, but if I feel like I have made a personal pact with someone I will stick to it and once I've done it for a week I will be home free.
Yours in eager anticipation...

OMG I did the same thing when I started "transitioning" to raw. Every night I would fry potatoes. They were my one huge craving.
I threw out the entire 10 pound bag of potatoes and gave my frying pans to my parents for safekeeping. I tossed the oils and the butters. The next day I just went 100% raw. I wasn't about to let a little potato run my life!!!
You can do it!!!!
Whenever you start having cravings, have something starchy like a banana, or have a big green salad. I have heard that if you can put off your craving for 10 or 20 minutes then you're good to go. Good luck!!!!!!!

Oh thanks!
Glad to know I'm not alone! I don't care about chocolate, cakes, sweets or biscuits, but fried spuds are my absolute fave! I will do as you say and have a banana or a salad with avocado...and as I have said this to you, I feel like I MUST...I've made a pact! I will not touch another fried potato (or any other junk cooked food for that matter) for the next 40 days and that's a promise!
Thanks again hon, you're a star!
