Cravings...

[Catrin]

While I "crave" sweet foods, I know that's all in my head. The foods I crave and can't stop craving until I have some are usually vinegar-related. I have no idea what that means.

But peanut butter is a pretty unique taste, and if you were a PB&J kid it might be the "comfort food" factor that is getting you...?

I wasn't a PB&J kid, though I did love PB sandwiches and tomato soup I suspect that, in the end, it is the fat that I am really craving - I tend to be really strict where this is concerned (at the advice of my nutritionist). I just ran out of PB this morning, and I have chosen to not replace it for now. I mean, I went through an entire jar in a little more than a week

I did, however, just pick up some avocados, walnuts, a trek mix, lofat Kefir and more olive oil. I suspect the cold weather has something to do with this - and there is a role for healthy fats as long as we don't overdo it.

Nutella isn't allowed in my kitchen - it is just TOO yummy to have around

I often find myself giving in to my cravings, like many others here do. I just don't see the point of depriving myself of something that I truly want, as it will only lead me to keep eating other things as a substitution until that craving is satisfied (which it usually never is).

I love PB, and I "crave" it nearly everyday...especially after a workout. So, I pretty much eat PB everyday. Mind you, we're not talking about grabbing a spoon and eating it right out of the jar. I will spread a THIN layer of natural (no salt, no sugar added) PB on a piece of toasted Ezekial bread, an unsalted brown ricecake, or a whole wheat mini-bagel. I also will sometimes put a dab of it in my oatmeal at breakfast. Even though I eat it everyday (sometimes 2x a day), it probably takes me a good month to go through an entire jar of PB.

Sing a hymn.


I have definitely lived in Utah too long!

Anything but "O Food to Pilgrims Given."

Good one!
Maybe to avoid weight gain you could go with "How Firm a Foundation..." (or do we save that one for pulling on a sport bra?)

I was drinking when I read this...poor monitor thankfully it was just water

How about "Let Us Break Bread Together on Our Knees."

know the feeling well. Went to school in Utah and have been in hiding ever since although they did manage to track me to and through three different countries overseas. I guess the great Republic of Texas has somehow defeated them at least for the moment. I see them riding around on their little matching bicycles but so far they haven't come a knocking at my door.

And there is your song for living in Utah.

I had the same peanut butter craving about a month ago. I NEEDED peanut butter, and even went out specifically to buy some. I don't know what I could've been missing, either, but there are worse things to crave for!

When I was a full-on vegetarian about 10 years ago, at the 6 month mark, I had this overwhelming obsession with tuna salad sandwich. I don't even like tuna but I kept on thinking it and even dreaming it. After about a week I figured I must be missing mercury or some other heavy metal in my diet so I gave into the craving and fell off the veggie wagon. Now I'm just a flexitarian.

I'm a unitarian, it's all the same to me...

Not to highjack this thread, but are you sure you are still a saggitarian? Have u heard about the shift of dates on the astrological signs? I am no longer a saggitarian, but the new sign of Ophiuchus.
