Re: cravings, temptations, and the fix

[Guest guest]

I'm hoping to get brave and if I do chocolate warm drinks to do it the Mayan way

with coco, cayenne and reduce the sugar. Maybe I'll get a good heart effect from

that.

The chocolate would be OK if I didn't have the sugar that is my true addiction.

I now have stevia in my cupboard and a friend from church gave me the names of

stevia cookbooks - so I will investigate those.

I know that my Beta-endorphines lift along with some other mood compounds in my

brain - so I'm getting ready to research what I can eat or herbs to take.
