For the first time in my life I'm struggling to control what I eat. I often struggle with not having the drive or energy to cook, but if I keep healthy snacks I'm usually fine. I love veggies, so if I have some carrots and cucumbers I'll happily grab that. Now, I only want junk. If I go to get a snack I only want chips or cookies. And even if I have carrots and such, I'll go without eating if we don't have the junk I want.
This has never, ever happened to me before! I've been the queen of satisfying my cravings with good food since I was a kid! When I crave sweetness I'll grab fruit or mint tea. When I want crunch I go for those easy raw veggies. When I really need carbs it's rice cakes. When I'm craving something greasy I go for fried Zucchini... is there a healthier greasy food? 🤔
Point is, I used to be able to eat healthy whenever, but now I can't deny my cravings and I'll go hungry rather than eat something I'm not craving. Has anyone else had this issue?
