Seriously, I was amazed at how much extra brain space I had to devote to other things once my obsession over “how/where/what food” was removed.

I promise: if you cut it out entirely, you’ll be amazed at how much of the urge was a physical craving. It’s been one and a half years since I’ve knowingly eaten sugar, and I feel better than ever. Ask me if you have questions.
There are some people who want to get a tattoo, but they don’t know what they want. It seems to me that this type of customer is more likely to regret and someday have removed whatever they decide upon. They have an urge to get tattooed.
Some people see an image and it sticks in their brains. They think of it often, sketch it in the margins of a notebook, look it up in design books. They realize that they have got to get this committed to flesh, and so they choose a talented and clean artist whose style works for the image they want, and they have it done. These people love their tattoos and don’t regret them.
