Help please very scared

[JFR]

Kitty - I am not sure whether it is denial or just that it is hard to believe that my system could be so sensitive. I've been eating only ground beef and then added rice and some well-cooked chard for a few weeks now but yesterday I got tempted and ate some blueberries. So far I'm OK but it is hard to stick to such a restricted diet. I am trying to figure out what to do when I get tempted, a safe alternative rather than giving in to something that is likely to cause problems. Mostly I don't have trouble sticking with a few foods but I have my moments when it just feels like I need/want something else. One thing that helps is I remember when I quit smoking (a long time ago). I would tell myself that my craving would only last a few minutes so if I could just get through those few minutes without a cigarette my craving would disappear and I would be OK until the next one, which I would just have to sit through. Eventually the craving went away almost entirely. I am also terrified of getting back to where I was, in the bathroom several times an hour, which is a strong deterrent.
