For the record

[hummingwolf]

Though I've fairly frequently mentioned chocolate in recent posts, I haven't been in the mood for it lately. Strangely, I've been craving sweet foods which are not chocolate-related, while I'm usually pretty indifferent to non-chocolate sweets but have been known to munch on unsweetened chocolate to get my fix.

Anybody know if there's some hideous malady wherein the sufferer stops wanting to eat chocolate? I'm a little bit scared.

actually, i crave non-chocolate sweets more than chocolate ones. sweet indian rice pudding, giant brand french vanilla ice cream, stuff like that. it's comforting in a less-challenging way than good chocolate is, or so it seems to me.

See, I'm not even craving the sweets as comfort food, really. (My idea of comfort food is more likely to involve cheese.) I'm just... craving. And not wanting chocolate at all, except perhaps in the diluted milk chocolate format. This is not normal for me. I try to get myself to eat more veggies, and instead I feel like making pancakes with lots & lots of honey on top.

mmmm, now pancakes i can definitely see, but i've never put honey on them. lots of heated syrup, though. yeah!

Me too. Cheese and chocolate are my comfort foods.

Behold the power of cheese!

lack of really good after-orgasm sex feelings?

:-D

Well, I do lack those, but I'm not lacking them any more than usual...

heh. you know... i never really was able to eat chocolate in any sort of quantity and rarely craved it at all back before my copper levels were fixed. apparently, that's common, since it is near the top of the "can't eat" list for those watching copper levels.

[hummingwolf.livejournal.com]

Huh. Interesting. I truly hope that this has nothing to do with copper levels, but hey, it's something to remember.

That happens to me a lot. It's not a malady, silly. :oP

Rick calls me 'picky' but that's not true. I just prefer some foods over others at different times. My tastes change from moment to moment. It's not that I stop liking foods... I just stop wanting them. I always want them again some other time.

I'm sure this is, at least partly, a result of the tweaking Dom did to my body. One of his ideas of an 'improvement', kind of like rewiring my brain so I can think more like a man. Ah well. Such is life.

Oh, I don't think that not-wanting chocolate is a malady in itself, but I do find it somewhat suspicious that this happens to me when I'm feeling physically icky anyway. If the chocolate thing is some kind of clue as to what's gone wrong with my body lately (as opposed to what's been wrong with my body for the last 15 years or so), then I want to know what change in my body chemistry this might have to do with.

Plus, not wanting chocolate every day, but wanting other sweet things? Just weird. And come to think of it, after seeing my last blood glucose results, I'd be better off craving unsweetened chocolate than anything sweet anyway.

Don't mind me, I'm just looking for clues. :-)

And I gave you some! Just not blinking neon ones. I work in subtleties because people are less likely to bite me that way.

[hai-kah-uhk.livejournal.com]

Hmm, funny thing that. So many people call me 'blunt' that I've started agreeing with them, but it's not true. I'm just simply not tactful. There's apparently a difference.

Anyway, there is actual useful information in my original comment. I didn't whack you over the head with it... more like I tucked it into a hidden pocket of some old sentimental thing and left it lying around for you to find on your own. I'd be more direct, but I can't.

Hmmm.

Nope. Can't.

(oh, I did recognize that there's information in your original comment. I'm not convinced of its usefulness, but that may be because when people don't point directly at something, I have a tendency to look at the something from a different angle.)
