Problem is that
(1) for most I don't think the cravings do really go away - as you suggest, it's psychological
(2) you have to avoid social situations or everyone thinks you enjoy driving Priuses. (Or you change your friends.)

I'm convinced that the cravings, if not go away do come down a hell of a lot. By that I mean that because you don't feel hungry all the time you'll be less likely to make that trip to the fridge or to the local greggs. But if the cakes are handed out in the office and put right in front of you than that comes down to will power and greed and it that respect were all different;)

As for social situations I just get stuck in with everyone else. I go for a lot of curry's with my football team and instead of having rice and a naan I'll have two mains , when crips get handed around at the pub after the match I'll go and buy sratchings. They look at me like I'm a right fat fk, but It's them that have the beer guts and they can't fathom out why

Ah, I thought you were 100% clean for some reason.

Thing about cravings is that people with cravings will eat stuff even if they're not hungry. It sounds like you're one of the "lucky" ones but in my experience most people are not like this at all.
