Do you ever have these wierd food binges? I have them. No idea what they’re really called. They’re called ‘food jags’ in children, but no one applies that term to adults. Anyway, it basically means that you want to eat the same food over and over for a few weeks at a time. I do this a lot. A few months ago, it was Milk Duds. I went through boxes of the things a day. After a few weeks of it, I was done. I still love them, but I don’t need to buy them in bulk anymore. Lately, it’s corn. I have always loved corn, but the past two weeks I’ve eaten corn at least every two days, sometimes more than once a day. I don’t know what it is. Tonight I made myself Mac & Cheese for dinner, because I’m on my period and my tummy can only handle bland things. So, as I was wating the mac boil, I thought “You know, This would go well with some corn.” WTF? So for dinner I ate a dinner plate 1/2 and 1/2 of corn and Mac & Cheese. Yellow and yellow. To top it all off, I opted for some apple juice to drink. Maybe I’ll have a can of cold peaches later.
It's a street in a strange world.
I have a theory about body cravings and tend to eat what my body craves purely because I believe that your body has identified it is lacking a certain something and this food has what it lacks or so my theory goes.
I just like to add a note that any craving for chocolate does not fit with my theory.. 🙂
John said the same thing. Research has backed you both up, actually. It happens just the same way in pregnant women, to a more severe degree. I just have no idea why my head/body would suddenly tell me I needed chocolate coated caramels for 3 weeks.
My body tells me the same thing about cigarettes.
