Stevia vs. Sugar Cravings

So I found a recipe for quinoa flakes sweetened with stevia instead of sugar to kind of try to take the place of my morning oatmeal. Unfortunately I didn't have the stuff to do it this morning, so I made it for myself for lunch instead. It tastes fine and everything, but the thing is, it tricks my body into thinking it's getting sugar, and then makes it crave sugar more than before I ate it, since it's anticipating it already and then doesn't get it at all. I'm also feeling really tired today, but that could be because I have had an exhausting weekend. I'm hoping my energy level picks up again tomorrow, especially in time for ball hockey. Right now I feel very sober; thinking clearly and all that, but also somewhat confused. Like I am only half aware of what is going on around me most of the time. On the plus side, while I have gotten a few blemishes since starting this process, they aren't nearly as bad as the ones I've had in the past month, and the rest of my skin seems to be going back to a relatively nice complexion. Hopefully after a good night's sleep I will be feeling a lot better tomorrow. Especially in time for ball hockey!!!
