Urges

When you achieve optimal well being is when you have the most control. Sugar is an addictive inflammatory substace that drives trichsters up the wall. Go to the john kender diet page and learn. Get a journal. Write down what you are consuming and how you are feeling. Get to know the severity of your urges and what's going on when they appear. Learn what foods and situations trigger you. Give up these trigger foods and you will experience relief I guarantee it. Once you get the urge down, to deal with minor or moderate urges you can tell yourself, "I love you, You don't have to pull." Anyone who says that diet has nothing to do with it makes me wonder if they may be more addicted to food or eating too much processed hidden trigger ingredients, just saying. Hypnotic tracks specifically geared for trich help me too, I got one off of Instant hypnosis.com. I like it. Ocean sounds and visualization, relaxation, etc. specifically geared toward stopping the pull. But know that the hypnotic tracks are more useful once you lessen the urge to pull through healthy lifestyle choices. Our diet is almost like a diabetics in that we can't eat cakes, cookies and pies and that can be hard to accept. But, we can have fruit. I love freezing bananas and blending them in my Vita A Mix blender (high powered) to make bananna ice cream. Potassium is very good for us trichsters. I used to be addicted to regular ice cream. Regular ice cream would send me on a pulling frenzy every time. It's important to learn how to have a very clean diet. Learn about detoxing the body of harmful toxin in a healthy way and consume a diet that doesn't promote inflammation in the body. A whole living foods diet is great. I often do the raw until 4 program and I still consume healthy lean proteins. Also, check out what N acetylecysteine does to the glutathione levels in our brain. Also , MSM, Inositol, Magnesium Calm are great supplements to try. Test each one individually to make sure you have no allergy to any of them. Relaxing lavender baths with soothing music after a hard day helps. You will find what works for you. I am praying for you.
