The 6 Undeniable Stages We All Go Through When a Craving Hits
Cravings — we all get them. Some people gravitate toward sweets like candy and chocolate while others prefer savory delights like pizza and french fries. We can relate to what happens when a craving strikes, so we rounded up the six stages everybody goes through.
Hesitation
You're going about your business when a yearning comes over you. You begin to think, "Do I really want that chocolate bar in the kitchen, or am I just bored?"
Confirmation
Finally it dawns on you that the craving is real, and you begin to grow more and more aware of the urgency.
Agitation
You haven't yet made the move toward the kitchen and your need is growing. The craving MUST be addressed before someone gets hurt.
Distress
At this stage, the craving is so unrelenting that if you don't satisfy it immediately, there will be no relief.
Fulfillment
At last you're digging into the treat you've been pining for and the feeling of vindication is settling in. Instead of defaulting to an unhealthy option, choose a snack like Fiber One bars to stay on the right track.
Contentment
You've gotten your fix and all is right in the world again.
