Cravings can be a crazy thing. If you are really listening to your body and eating clean, it will tell you what it needs. You don't crave cheeseburgers but you do crave nutrients. Though deconstructing that and realizing what you need is tricky. For the last 3 weeks I have been craving orange juice. I can not drink enough. Clearly I'm needing vitamin C. Others are harder to deconstruct. My dad always tells me he sometimes has weird cravings for protein bars and he knows he's lacking something and his body tells him he can get it in protein bars. It's also association and where your body thinks it can get what it needs. When I get dehydrated, I crave a Coke. Illogical right. Unless I explain it this way. When I am dehydrated my blood thickens and it makes me feel sleepy. My body knows the caffeine and sugar will jolt it awake. If I just drink some water my craving usually subsides. Our body's are amazing machines.
So I have thought about this for a while. Do I actually write this post? Do I put my dirty laundry out there for everyone? Or the handful that read my blog. And if I do, what do I say? Do I slam those involved? Do I take the high road? When is a “good” time to put it out there? A few days under my belt and there is probably no better time. So no secret, my ex-boyfriend was my coach. That worked out mildly well while we were together but add a breakup and somehow it just doesn’t work out as smoothly. Add a few of the worst things a person could do to another in there and disaster doesn’t even begin to describe. But I have this eternal belief that I can make any situation work. That I can fix things. It’s what makes me good at my job. I’m an eternal optimist. But it’s what causes me to not be so good at my personal life. Even when things are clearly not good, I still think I can fix it and make it right...
