What are your craving obsessions?

I've noticed that I will be obsesssssed with something for a while and then I'm done with it. And it will be to the point where I just cannot fathom not having it that week. Then poof... no big deal.

Here's some that I have had in the past few months:
Reese's creamer--drank this for a month and it made my coffee like 150 calories--now I'm good with sugarfree italian for 45 calories.

Sweet Potato Fries-- Went through 3 frozen bags in two weeks.. ate them for lunch and dinner everyday.

Jimmy Johns Turkey Sandwich-- I didn't eat this everyday but thought about it and ate it a few times.

Drumstick Ice Cream--I really just wanted the chocolate at the bottom.

Bagel with cream cheese--last week's breakfast--even though I am normally good with skipping breakfast. This week, I could care less about it.


Do you have foods that you get stuck on for a while?

    Last week it was scrambled eggs in coconut oil with two maple sausage links.I ran out of sausage 😭
    It was too high in sodium for what little you get but it was delicious.

    I also go through oatmeal spurts 🐑

    Oatmeal with melted peanut butter so yum. I'm always excited when I have enough calories to put an extra scoop on there!

    Always something... :D
    - Lundberg Wild rice cakes and sugar free preserves.
    - Dragon ftuit/ blackberries/ raspberries. Ugg... done. I do not do well with fruit- ended up itching/ Lupus symptom flair.. gave the several cartons left to roomate
    - Sweet poratoes but not for a long time now. Same with fruit/ flair
    - ..In the past various protein bars( since I work as MOD at Vitamin Shoppe) I don't eat them at all now...
    - Alyssa Healthy Vegan Oatmeal bites
    - Peanut butter, cashew butter, etc. Always nut butters...

    I pretty much always have an obsession going on. My personality type 😂

    I made french toast for lunch and dinner every single day this week. I couldn't get enough of it. I think it was the combo of the bread and strawberries that is hitting the spot for me.

    I go through sour cream spells and cream cheese spells and dark chocolate spells, but lately it's been tomato products. Weird thing to be stuck on, right? The thing is I don't like raw tomatoes at all, but right now I'm devouring tomato juice, salsa, and pasta sauce several times a day.

    Now *I* want a Drumstick ice cream cone, that crunchy wafer cone, the sprinkled nuts, the vanilla ice cream and the chocolate coating that goes crunch when you take your first bite.

    I'm not really going through any obsessive cravings right now. When I was completely off my healthy eating for about 6 weeks or so, I'd eat Ben and Jerry's every week, had to be the peanut butter cup.

    Costco's mixed nuts, they're way better than Trader Joe's! Adelle's chicken sausages, it's the first time in my life I've craved meat, I think because I don't eat anything but lean meat I'm craving the fat in sausages and nuts.

    For years, yogurt has fit this category for me. Sometimes I love it and eat a lot of it, sometimes I go years without eating it.

    It's been a long time since i had KFC coleslaw, but in terms of flavour some buttermilk ranch with an extra teaspoon of sugar and vinegar with a little grated onion mixed with the cabbage is pretty much what I remember from growing up North America. Now I just have to get that pulverized texture I remember. Probably need to blitz the veg in the food processor. Looking at the American KFC site I am under the impression the coleslaw texture has changed since the eightes. It used to be a slushy mint green concoction. Now it actually looks like vegetables.

    Aha. That mint green coleslaw was only available in Canada and has since been replaced with the US recipe.
