Do you have comfort foods? We all do. Ice cream, cake, brownies, sorry if I'm making your mouth water :) Tonight I discovered another comfort food I have had for a LONG time, but I never knew it. You might laugh..... it's cold cereal.
Why cold cereal? It's just so easy. All you have to do is grab a bowl, a spoon, the cereal and the milk. You can be eating in less than 10 seconds. It's easy to curl up on the coach with cold cereal or to eat it in front of the TV. It's such a low-maintenance meal, that definitely adds to its appeal. I eat it when I'm tired and don't want to fix anything else.
So tonight I came home and my husband was eating cereal. He was too tired to fix something different and was eating Honey O's. The aroma of the cereal (yes, cereal has an aroma!) and of the milk made me want to grab some myself and then curl up on the coach to eat it. Even though I had recently eaten dinner and was perfectly full, it was like the lure of the cereal almost tricked me into being hungry again.
I couldn't believe it! My body's full signal was turning off and my body was giving me a false hunger signal. I almost fell for it, but I didn't. Has this ever happened to you? Have you ever been around a comfort food, felt hungry, eaten it, and then realized you were never hungry in the first place?
Hmmm, I can't be the only one out there. Even if cereal doesn't seduce you (I know I must be weird), there's got to be something out there that does. Let me know about it!
