CRAVINGS

Cravings cravings cravings… There are days I wake up craving a protein smoothie, days I wake up craving pancakes, and days I wake up craving a big bowl of penne alla vodka. My love for food has only grown with age and experience tasting, cooking, and learning about new foods. Being a student my entire life has meant that I was always around cafeterias, free pizzas, and cookies. So it’s also become common that I wake up and crave pizza, french fries, or sour gummy worms. But my cravings don’t just stop at food. I can wake up and crave a run, a weight lifting session, or my most common craving is a Harry Potter marathon because DUH. But I’ve recently learned to make my cravings a part of my lifestyle so that I can keep a balanced life. I eat what I want when I want it in moderation ( like a small remkin bowl of penne alla vodka or some paleo banana pancakes). I workout when all of my other tasks for the day are done IF I WANT TO and sometimes I don’t even get a 10 minute brisk walk in. But I have learned and am continuing to learn what my cravings mean about my needs. It’s obvious that when I’m craving a Harry Potter marathon that it means I haven’t watched any of them in a month. But when I wake up craving pasta, it usually means I wasn’t satiated the previous day. My cravings are constantly changing based on my lifestyle changes but one thing that remains the same is the fact that I have them. What are some of your cravings?
