Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Examine the food you are craving. Identify the food you are wanting the most.

2. Make a plan on when you are going to have the food your are craving. Do not worry about it not being on your diet, if you crash pick you self up and go on.

3. Plan out what time, place, where you will be sitting when you eat it, and how much you will eat.
