Weird triggers, sometimes it shocks me what makes me want to eat!

 So I got a crazy good deal on Pacific Products organic chocolate almond milk, they are little 8 oz packs. They are CRAZY with carbs (19 in 8 ozs), but I like them to add to my protein shakes before a run or a long workout b/c I need the carbs and it adds good flavor for little calories. 

Well, they are sitting in the box literally calling my name every time I walk past. If I am not careful I can end up killing my carbs for the day b/c these things are literally yelling at me from the pantry. I have started giving them to the kids just to be done with them, and now I know better. 

Who know that almond milk would make me crazy? Gah. 

To be honest, I would have guessed the craziness was caused by the lead paint chips.

 My lead levels are completely normal! Now my DNA on the other hand.............


 

I have a similar problem....with cool whip.  Won't bring into the house anymore.

I would guess it's the simple carbs that are in the box saing, "Psssst.....hey you.....yeah, you!  Come on over....just a drink...don't worry, it's just ONE drink.  You know you want me.  I am in almond milk. I can't be THAT bad....you now you want me real bad.  Come and get me!!"  

Throw those suckers out asap!!  Nasty simple carbs!!  Sneaky little *******s start showing up in everything!

It is weird that hunger gets tripped or triggered. I live man vs. food and diners, drive ins and dives. Can watch them all day long and not get hungry. Weird but true. Don't even miss all that food. There was a cake in the house from easter that caught my eye and I fell victim. who knows how it works, but if there is something it is better to not keep it around.

Bet its the sugah, sugah, and that unsweetened choco wouldnt do the same.

Me?  Random trigger insanity?

Chili with saurkraut on top.  I made a big pot of chili.  It was good.  I was fine.  *DING* it occurred to me that if I had some kraut on top, it would be like a chili kraut dog.

I cant tell you how much mental rent I paid before I just trashed the kraut.  It wasnt carbs, or sweets, or a texture thing - just a fun party in my mouth. 

*shrug*

I know this was not your intent, but I am now craving chili with kraut in the worst way.  I was wondering what to make for lunch, now off to the store....

Ha!}  Maybe we can invent single serving Kraut packs and then I wouldnt have to pay so much mental rent and could enjoy myself some krauty chili sometime!

Hopefully for you it can be just enjoyable and not a mind monkey! 

I bought a box of a variety of protein bars to take on my trip next week, to make sure if I can't get what I need, I have something to fall back on. Those dang things kept calling my name!  I was fearful that I'd want them all the time like candy.  I finally did try one and it was good - not wonderful PHEW - and so far, I'm not feeling obsessed, but the jury's still out!  That blasted addiction!!!  LOL
