*has a snickers fantasy* Good grief. Now I want one .

Hi there ! Sounds like withdrawal to me. A lot of food that we eat these days (processed stuff that contains wheat, hf corn-syrup, etc) has drug like effects on our bodies-- drug like in that these foods sort of stimulate the pleasure centers of the brains and prompts dopamine (a neurotransmitter) to be produced (brain science isn't my forte, and it...

There are many things I miss eating (my dad's homemade pizza is currently top of the list) but I really think I miss having the option of eating something at a party or a dinner or what-have-you if I wanted.

I was starting to think I was a hypochondriac (which wouldn't surprise me because my grandmother is the queen of all hypochondriacs...
