Sugar cookies=Death By Yuck

[silverthorne]

First cheetos, and now store-made sugar cookies are tasting really bad to me these days (someone offered me one and I took one to be polite). At least the one I had was actually deficient in sugar content (it tasted more like dough than sugar and vanilla), but even that amount was a warning that sugar overload (and the resultant tongue burn) was missed by a very narrow margin.

Some part of me is proud of my new intolerance for junk food...the rest is slightly mourning my childhood tastebuds. *g*

Ah well--the less I'm craving crappy food, the better.

*nods* Yeah. There are still processed food that tastes okay to me (V8, coffee creamer, chocolate, certain high end ice creams, triskets and corn chips), but for the most part, I even think about junk food/processed food and the best reaction I get from the craving centers is 'meh'.

I can even walk into a 'fresh' supermarket deli or pass a fast food joint, appreciate some of the smells (most of them having to do with that 'grilled' smell--which is misleading), but the thought of actually buying something from those places gets an internal 'yuck' and a craving for some real meat/fish/chicken done on my counter grill instead. I don't even crave bread anymore, really, except for fresh french bread.

And even that gets a pass from me when I'm shopping.

What I'm still amazed by though is how my body actually craves healthy food over junk food when I have the choice (except, of course, chocolate). Which is mind blowing for me since for a good portion of my adult life, my diet wasn't the healthiest in the world. I was expecting to have a LOT more trouble staying away from junk, fast food, and starches, because I'm so used to eating them all the time. Or...I was three months ago, anyway. :)
