How many of you have had a VERY deep craving for anything that you litterally had to go out and get right at that moment? I seem to have these cravings way too often. Just this morning I had the local news on & they did a story on the Peeps candys from Bethlehem Pennsylvania. It was an interesting story to say the least. Well all of a sudden a pink bunny slpped my brain saying, "you gotta have one." Well I got dressed & went to the grocery and bought 3 packages of them. No I haven't eaten them all. (yet) But one pack is gone. There's 16 in a pack. Luckily I don't have teeth to rot. Hahahaha! What has been the craving that sent you out right away to get that food you HAD to have? Thanks for any responses. LOL. Enjoy the Peeps at Easter all.

I get terrible cravings for something sweet, or salty, or crunchy, and now I take a medication that makes these cravings worse, And I can not stop taking the meds as they keep me sane. I do try to buy sugar free candy but it is very costly, and I eat plain peanuts for the salty, crunchy, I know they are not salted but they do taste great, but again I eat far to many of them I am never satisfied with just a hand full, no it has to be lots and lots. that is where my problem is not in the smack it is in the fact that once I start eating I can not seem to stop, I can be feeling ill from over eating and still looking around for more, so just sign me fat and sort of sane Robin

Oh no. Read through all my discussions.
I have one about impulsive/compulsive behavior. Read it then respond.
I want to see what you have to say in that one.
Thanks in advance if you do.
Also thanks for the response here.

Oh grandpa, you just responded to one of my thread about not eating when I'm stressed out. I really can't eat anything. No cravings or urges or what...When I'm still pregnant with my eldest daughter, I ate a bunch of ICE CREAM. I will easily get irritated when there's no stock of ice cream left for me...LOL, its a good thing I'm not craving for those anymore. We don't like to deal with diabetes later in our life. Happy Easter to you too, grandpa.

Ice cream? Did you say Ice Cream? LOL. I always have a supply of fudgesicles in my freezer. I eat 2 or 3 a day sometimes. That's just one of the treats I need in my house. LOL. Thanks for reminding me, It's time for a fudgesicle now. Hahahaha!

Definitely. I occasionally have those urges where I just need to get it. If I can't stand the urge, sometimes I might even walk out in the middle of the night to get it. If I can, I will just sleep it off. In fact, usually by the time I wake out, I won't feel like eating what I craved off earlier already. :P

But with your insomnia don't you see or feel more of these cravings? I know when I don't sleep a lot I seem to get more and deeper cravings. I've taken many a trip to the stores at 2 a.m. or later/earlier. HAHAHA!

ohhhh I love peeps, its nice to see them again, can only get them here at Easter..
The only VERY deep craving i can ever remember having was when I was pregnant with my daughter...I am sure you probably know this fowl by a different name but here in newfie land we call it a "bullbird", its a small water fowl. I can only remember ever eating it once when my dad went hunting when I was small. And I remember thinking it was disgusting and didn't like the taste at all...But when I got pregnant, for some strange reason I wanted one..they were really small. a whole one could fit in your hand...I went weeks dreaming of it, and constantly thinking about it..there was nothing even close to the taste that could satisfy my craving...eventually after about a month, someone in my community had heard that I was craving a bullbird, and went and caught me one...my mom baked it, and while it was cooking I really truly enjoyed the smell...well when it was finally placed in front of me I ate a piece as big as my thumb and almost got sick, and the craving went away...weird, strange, yup...i know..lol

LOL. I had the peep craving last night & had to go get some. I dont do that ofton but I love those little peeps & they dont have them in stores around her except for the holidays. My boyfriend on the other hand, use to get craving for potato chips late at night so we had to go to the store at 1:00 in the morning to get some chips. Of course the closest store that was open at that time of night was at least 30 min. away.

webeishere dear you still got the child in you and that is wonderful
it happens to me too..but i always go to the superpharm to buy a pregnenct test..lol..but i guss in your case it is not relevent:)
i too have usually cravings that occur at night times and i am talking about 1 a.m. 2 a.m. so you see it is problematic but i seem to get over the problem each time and put on some clothes walk for about 30 minutes and buy what i am craving for..it is crazy isn't it?:)
i also have this bad habit of smoking and i always but always am stuck without a pack at nigh times..and because i am a person that goes to sleep around 3-4 a.m it is problematic so then again i put on so clothes and walk for 30 minutes and buy them..i think it is somthing in our personlitty..what do you think?:)

i used to crave to a local junk food here in the Philippines. It's called "Chippy" and i really want the one in the green pack. During that time, i was really buying the food EVRYDAY and i don't give some to other poeple. My officemates knew that it was my favorite and they were considerate enough not to bother me when i'm eating. Lol! =)

this is a little disturbing...I woke up one morning with an intense craving for honey and whipped cream. Neither of those two things were in the house, and i swear, i had cravings for them at least once every half hour for a week until i finaly gave in and went and got them and ate to my hearts content. weird huh?

That's not fair, I just got home from town and now I want peeps :( Really, I am a food aholic with the worst eating habits in the world, suffered from a serious eating disorder for many years... Yep I get cravings and yes, many many times I have gone out in the middle of the night, walked in freezing cold, and hired baby-sitters just to "feed my fix".

I've never really had a "problem" I just have very bad/strong impulsive/compulsive behavior traits. LOL. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. Hahahaha!

Oh my! cravings I have a lot...chips, chocolates, sweets and pizza. I even wake up in the middle of the night to eat chocolates or anything sweet. I also have a long time craving for green mango with 'bagoong' (native food) since I could remember and my 5-year old daughter also craves it. Thinking about it right now makes my mouth water. Good posting Grandpa Bob!

Okay please describe what "bagoong" is. Thanks also.
Now I just ate a glazed donut now I need a candy bar. HAHAHA!!!

I get those cravings, but often they are for foods back home in Canada, like Twizzlers! There is no such thing as licorice here in Guatemala, much less red licorice. It is very depressing sometimes. :( Right now at Easter, I miss those Cadbury Easter Eggs with the caramel filling. Drool. Ok, I´m making myself hungry. Did you know you can bring those cravings on yourself? lol

...Cotton Candy...
once i had this dream that i was surrounded by cotton candy. |Everywhere i look were cotton candies. Then when i woke up- i had this insane urge and i literally was near drooling even at the thought of it. I was not pregnant at that time, that i can be sure of. So after washing my face, i got out of the house and went to the nearest public school to get myself a cotton candy! unforunately i had to go over 3 schools within our area, i even had to commute to the school where i bought my cotton candy- Geeze... i bought 10 packs of it, and on my way home, the people on the jeepney were looking at me like crazy because i had so many cotton candy in my hands. A kid even wanted to buy 1 from me! i gave him 1 though.
