Ok, for a while it was oatmeal with dried cherries and pecans. Had to eat it all the time. Loved it. (still do, but getting bored)

Lately I want refried beans with cheese melted on top and a bunch of salsa. Not really craving the tortilla, so don't bother with it.

But the beans! Love them lately.

Wonder what that's about?

Sometimes I also want avacado, lettuce, tomato, onion, cilantro and lime.

But for an on the go lunch? Beans with cheese and salsa...has been really good lately.

Never would have eaten this before. Cravings have changed so much in the last six months. Weird!

Good eats. Had some reduced fat colby jack and hot homemade salsa.

I'll have to pick some up. One of my twins makes an absolutely kick-@ss salsa. I still can't eat it I did manage to eat about 12 black beans with my cilantro-lime chicken last night. Yeah! Can't wait until my portions get a bit bigger.

Our brain/bodies do some crazy things. Usually cravings are caused by your body signaling that you need something that a particular food might provide. Sometimes they are caused by hormone imbalances of all things. And then there is the addiction part, where your body craves the endorphins caused by eating certain foods. Sounds like you've got a handle on satisfying the craving while staying within your WLS requirements which is awesome.

I almost always crave beef after working out, not sure why beef, but pretty much every time I walk out of the gym, I want a burger.

Funny how Topics trigger Memories!
