Abstaining cravings during pregnany

Is it okay to abstain from cravings during pregnancy? I've been trying really hard to abstain from my cravings but I can't seem to stop thinking about my cravings every day. I salivate a lot and it feels really bad to consume food that I know is beneficial for me, but at the same time not what I really want at the moment. I've been avoiding spicy and sweet foods for a few months now and I feel like I'm reaching my limit.. Do you give in to your own cravings, or were you able to avoid eating foods that are not good for you such as sweets and fast food?

I avoid all food that I believe are not beneficial/bad for the pregnancy. It’s hard but oh well, I told myself it’s not worth a bite if the food may cause something negative to my child for the rest of her life. But it all depends on individual. So long as your gynae is ok and you’re ok and everything is eaten moderately, you should be alright.
