What’s your craziest/funniest avoidance story?

Today, I had really bad cravings, even after yoga and a pedicure. My fiancé is going to be gone all day and everyone I know skipped town for the weekend.

I ended up getting in my car and driving 2 hours north to a small rural town to eat the pizza and fudge there…I remember it being good from when I was a kid and went on road trips with my family. Luckily, both the fudge shop and pizza parlor still exist up here! :joy:

15 days!

Any of you ever spontaneously skip town or do anything weird to avoid cravings? Not gonna lie… I feel kind of insane.

So far I haven’t tried much avoidance. The first week or two I was dodgy about going out and just said I couldn’t make it.

Once I was out I just said, “No thank you.” And that was that. My immediate friends are pretty cool about respecting other people’s boundaries though. In that I am fortunate.

One asked why I wasn’t drinking, so I told her I developed an allergy. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
