Another conundrum: why is it that all I crave is CRAP when I'm sick?! On a normal weekly basis the idea of a McDonalds french fry is disgusting. A slice of pizza? No thank you. But when I'm sick? Bring. It. On.
Last night I caught myself eating an ice cream sandwich with the kiddos. I don't even like ice cream sandwiches! I stopped (after eating 3/4 of it) and threw it in the trash. Why was I eating it? Because I'm sick. Well sure, that makes sense.
People talk about eating soup when you're sick. Blech! I don't like most soups normally anyway but when I'm sick? I want to eat a big Cafe Rio pork salad, watch my favorite movie The Holiday, and nurse my cold away.
I guess in the end it all boils down to convenience but mostly comfort. When I'm sick I want those comfort foods and it doesn't matter if they are healthy or not. I haven't indulged all my cravings this week but that could just be because there is no Cafe Rio nearby. :)
What do you eat when you are sick?
