Re: Barrier to raw

I am not really on a "diet" per se, I am trying to become raw permanently, even though I am wanting to lose about 30 pounds. I am still positive and happy about all the changes I have made-- I have improved with my food habits 200 percent. However, I am finding that the carb cravings are sort of like that "last ten pounds" plateau feeling-- that one hump that is so deep-set and so hard to overcome. Before, I know I was medicating myself with food and it was just psychological. Now that I am not choosing to abuse food, I find that underneath all that, there really is a very strong physical pull toward these foods. I would just like to understand it and learn how to get rid of it. I try to use creative visualization but I feel silly :) I have tried lots of things, and many (if not most) times I can stop myself from eating the food. But the gnawing craving is still there until I go to bed.
