Doctor,
I agree with what you said and know all this stuff, but how do you advise uncontrollable cravings for the crap? In my case, cookies, baked goods, etc. I know it's not healthy, but I get these overwhelming "GOT TO HAVE IT AND STUFF MY FACE WITH IT" and give in time and time again. The result of course, is weight gain, lethargy, and in my case, suicide thoughts 'cause I hate myself for not being able to control what I eat. I used to be a marathon runner and could get away with some of these binges, but my last bought of sinking depression left me without the energy or motivation to run. I'm working out but not enough to compensate. I want to eat the foods you recommend and always have them around, but end up driving to bakeries, etc to get my "fix". I've tried taking walks, calling friends, all kinds of therapy, been hospitalized, etc, OA, 30 different medications, nothing has helped!!!
