Does anyone know?

Cos our brains like to torture us.

Theres a few reasons, theres a few on here Why Do Women Crave Chocolate? / Nutrition / Healthy Eating A popular one i've heard a lot is because its a stimulate, so just like smoking you end up getting addicted.

On secret eaters last week I think it said something about the temperature at which the choc melts in your mouth creates something or other but I cant remember exactly

It drives me mad. I'm staring at big bar of galaxy (*week....obviously!!!) and I know I could eat it in about ten seconds but that's going to be at least 22 syns. I can make enough food to sink an elephant with 22 syns!!! But all I want is the chocolate

I was just about to post the same thing, so craving all the bad stuff. I know we can eat a lot but my diet over past two yrs for various reasons has been Pepsi and chocolate and I WANT some now! 2 biscuits or syn allowance would not cover what I want!!!!!

I don't know but it sure helped me calm down after a stressful day at work (that and the vodka :/ )

Bananas have magnesium don't they? Or is that potassium? Or is my poor brain just hormone scrambled???

 

[tranquility]

lol bananas = potassium
