“Freedom doesn’t come from satisfying every desire, but from learning to let them go.” – Epictetus

Cravings are one of the biggest obstacles when trying to maintain healthy eating habits. But at the end of the day, they’re just another emotion—one that we can learn to manage.

🧠 First, reflect on your long-term goals. Ask yourself: Does giving in to this craving bring me closer or farther from what I truly want?

👁️‍🗨️ Second, practice awareness. Instead of reacting impulsively, observe the craving. Give it a name, describe it, and plan your response. This simple pause gives you back control.

🔁 Third, shift your perspective. A craving isn’t an emergency. It’s just a passing feeling—and maybe even a chance to build your mental resilience.
