So, bizarrely enough, today I am STARVING. For no good reason.
I’ve done exactly the same (actually less, since I didn’t walk to work) this morning as I do most mornings. And I’ve eaten the same.
The only difference is that instead of a coffee, I had an AlkaSelzer with Caffeine & ASA. I also had an apple cider that I don’t usually have, because I was craving a warm beverage.
I had my usual breakfast of oatmeal & a piece of fruit (nectarine today), and added a Dairy Milk bar, because I was still hungry and craving chocolate. I’ve also had about a litre of water that I don’t usually get through so early.
And I’m still ravenous, but trying to wait for lunch (15 more minutes). I dunno what’s wrong with me.
And no, I’m not pregnant.
Rog: So my constant cravings for diet coke are okay after all? Woohoo! 😉
It could be that your stomach was more acidic than usual because of the AlkaSelzer and apple cider. Higher acidity in the stomach makes your body think that the mouth, etc. is sending stuff so it has to prepare itself; when you eat/chew/swallow, the hormones & chemicals released cause an increase in acidity in the stomach. Think of it like reverse psychology for your digestive system 😉
Nice Little Shop reference, by the way.
Something I believe in (within moderation), is that if your body is craving something it’s probably a good and healthy thing to give into those cravings. Maybe your diet has been too regular lately and it needed a change of pace?
