Do do just that,'Take control!!! along with the cravings watch out for the sodium. Sodium alone can have our bodies holding on to fluids that we don't need, which can put 3-5 pounds on us easily. Hang in there, this weather is making me lazy, I prefer to exercise in cooler weather. So I've started walking at night in the neighbor hood. For Mothers' Day I asked my husband to buy me a headlight instead of flowers and candy. A hunter's light that fits on the head, that assists a lot with the street lights, and watching out for crawling things, we walk onto a snake a couple of nights ago. The light saved us. The teenagers got it put in box and called the animal control, It was a Phaethon. What an adventure. I always walk with someone. And our neighborhood is nice.  

I'm having the same problem with cravings, Jo. I know it's that devil, sugar (and other refined carbs). I watched a Dr. Oz online video about conquering sugar addiction, and he said it does affect the brain like crack cocaine. I believe it! I know what it will take... about 1 week of clean eating. That's a tough hurdle, but it's doable. Hang in there, and I will too. 

We'll hang in there together Johanne. 

For me that dreadful tune sounds like, "Hear We Go 'Round the Mulberry Bush" (just begrudingly treading the same ground)...But rest assured we have all gone done that path and we're right here with you to grab control. :)
