Maybe this is a week 2 thing, but I have been having cravings!
On Monday, I wanted spaghetti & meatballs. (I don't like spaghetti!) I had chicken & califlour instead, which I do like. But all I could think about was that I wasn't eating spaghetti.
On Tuesday, I wanted tunafish on toast. I half gave in. I had a tuna salad with a LOT of celery. I am not a big fan of tuna (I am more of a white fish kind of person). This time wasn't so bad. I was thinking that it would be really nice to have toast with it, but we doen't even have bread in the house, which I think helped. I enjoyed the tuna salad, which I normally hate.
My mother-in-law used to tell me that cravings are our bodies way of telling us that we need something. I guess what I should do is try to figure out what my body thinks it needs & get as close to it as I can. I think on Tuesday, my body needed whatever is in tuna, because I was quite happy with my tuna salad. I guess I didn't give my body what it needed on Monday, because the last thing I wanted was what I was eating, which was a perfectly good meal that would have made me happy normally.
