Struggle, Struggle

I have this theory that if you can get yourself away from it for long enough, one day at a time, you don't miss that stuff. Not that you might not have it again, but it won't be near as enjoyable or disasterous after a vacation from eating it! How else might you approach changing your food habits - clearly purchasing what you purchased to have on hand is not forwarding your efforts! Would some hummus and veggies perhaps accomplished the same need to snack but been a healthier option - or something like that?
