A great question. Must be some combo of not wanting it that bad, really really liking food/eating, and my cells crying out especially hard for sustenance.

I've fasted for a day or more at least a dozen times in the past year, so under the right circumstances I can fight the power. I often think going "cold turkey" would be far easier, but eating in moderation is unfortunately necessary for life. And then I find myself on a slippery slope. Last night my cheese snack turned out to be a "gateway food" leading to cereal and even 1 brownie. What's up with that!?!

And notice how I didn't blog here for two days. I've got to keep my focus up.
