I think I just crashed my way into Week 3*, in part because I am desiring entirely different food than I did a couple of days ago. The cottage cheese I was eating for breakfast didn't interest me this morning, and the green pepper that looked so crisp and inviting when I bought it seemed boring, crunchy, and watery today, its delicate vitamineral content wasted on my palate. I'm not even sure I care for another meal of rice and beans. A cup of stovetop chai, on the other hand, tasted like exactly the right thing.
I want ice cream and other junk that I don't have, so I channeled myself into thinking about my shopping list for this weekend. What are some healthy foods that appeal to me, and that I will eat in moderation? I was surprised at some of things I came up with. Bananas, to start with - a fruit I'm generally not so hot for. Oatmeal. Yogurt, which I like in theory but lost my taste for (coincidence?) a couple of weeks ago. Noticing the themes here, I went on to theorize that potatoes, pasta, and avocados would fit right in (though avocados may or may not be available). I might buy some Gardenburgers too. Instead of merely-functional protein and complex, interesting flavors in my vegetables, I want the blunt satisfaction of thick-textured, creamy, mild sweetness.
I'll save the ice cream for my next up-phase, when I'll eat less of it and enjoy it more.
