As for me, I'm on week 2 of NoSing and there's something about the late-afternoon-to-just-after-dinner stretch that still makes me crave sweets like nobody's business. I'm not sure if it's particular things I usually do/see around that time (finishing school, walking home past a million places where I could purchase sweets, watching television), the biological late afternoon energy dip, or some combination of the two. But it's been HARD to get through that time of day. The last couple of days I've 'solved' the problem by sleeping through it, since I've also been having sleep issues and can fall asleep pretty much at the drop of a hat. But that's not helpful in the big picture (exacerbates my sleep problems at night). Other than that, my only strategy is to "talk" myself through it (usually silently in my head, but sometimes aloud if I'm home alone
), by reminding myself that nothing bad will happen if I don't act on the craving today and I can have whatever I want a few days from now.
