Hi Jennifer
I don't think it is as bad as smoking but it is more mentally that just one won't hurt then becomes two, three etc.
I have also found that things don't taste the same once you are fully off. Most things you miss and think of trying don't give you that same warm fuzzy heavenly felling anymore. I have also found I get a tummy upset. That will put you off anything.
Aslo I have found if you try something you think is ok but not you can taste it. I know sometimes it can happen accidently so I make sure I am extra careful for the next couple of days and can also spot the cravings rather than hungry feelings.
It is a lot of trial and error. Six months down the track and I am still finding new things good and bad.
Keep up the good work and good luck.
