Cravings

Just today, Mary Beth and I were talking about cravings. And maybe instead of distracting myself from the craving, like going for a walk, she suggested I could just be with it. To face the craving head on.

So just now I felt a craving, for food, nothing in particular and when I looked at it full in the face, it the craving was a fist, reaching into my gut and pulling at me, my stomach actually, and the pull was so strong it nearly lifted me out of me seat. And if I had done that, given into the strong pull of the craving, I'd have gone into the kitchen, rummaged around in the frig and most likely eaten something. Instead, I decided to write about it here, while the feelings are still fresh.

What have you been craving lately? And how are you dealing with it?
