Pavlov's dog
Oct 12, 2010
Just an observation I have been making. As Pavlov's dogs salivated at the sound of the bell, I have salivated at the site or smell of some foods. We all have these positive food associations that we develop over a lifetime. I pretty easily recognize that this is not hunger, but a mental response to a positive image or smell. More recently I have begun to associate some foods or food types with negative feelings, not negative analytical thoughts but true mental/emotional associations with less than positive food experiences. Because of this there are some things that I just don't crave or in some cases have developed a bit of an aversion to. I don't have problems tolerating foods and have only thrown up once. I guess the fact that I just don't enjoy food like I used to is enough to break the positive association conditioning. I hope this continues and helps me develop more healthy eating habits.
