Urges


I am really struggling with urges right now. I am trying to minimize the amount of roasted pecans that I eat during the day. I originally wrote in my protocol that I would only eat 1/2 cup pecans a day, but today I said in my protocol (on my third day of following my protocol) to try to not eat any pecans at all and I’m feeling the resistance in my brain! I’ve done the feelings worksheet for my urge twice but the urge isn’t going away. I also tried thoughts like “I want it right now but I don’t need it,” but it doesn’t seem to mitigate the urge. Does this mean it was too soon for me to try to not snack on them at all today? How can I determine what amount I should allow in my protocol?
