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.

Your body builds a tolerance after awhile and learns to ignore the 'too much!' reaction of your senses. It was like when I lived with the ex--I got used to the cig smoke and never noticed it unless I was visiting my grandparents or someplace that's been equally smoke-free.

Once you've 'detoxed', though, you realize just what exactly it is you'd been ignoring from your senses.

These days, I pass by most smokers, especially after they've just lit up, and boy, howdy, can I smell it. :/

I'm the same way with cigarette smoke. Honestly, I've only been without a constant smoker living with me for about... six months in my whole life. I just can't smell it (or any other number of things) any more.

Oh yeah. The same way, after a week of nothing but water, soda becomes some sort of acidic bacteria bile compound. It's like, "holy shit HOW many of these did I drink in a day?"

Also, an interesting little caveat; I've been doing the water-lean cuisine-veggie dance as well for a little bit. I just went and ate at McDonald's, and I... seriously could not stomach it all the way through a happy meal. It tasted alright, but as soon as it hit my stomach it felt like a brick. I seriously thought I was going to hurl.
