Addiction can be crazy. We are all dopamine addicts but everyone’s fix is different. I realized a few days ago that the biggest reason I feel compelled to eat lunch outside the house is that in much more likely to have a sugary drink or dessert and the possibility of that tricks me into feeling an uncontrollable urge to be outside. Funny isn’t it. Not only does it pull us to the same behavior but it pulls us to behaviors which encourage that kind of behavior.
Great job. I would like to get to a point where I could eat some chocolate or drink a sweetened latte once a week and not feel a strong urge the rest of the time. I know it must be possible but for now I need to detox.
