{HMW} Why you're rummaging through the fridge when you're not even hungry
|
Dear Reader, You just had a really great meal. You savored every bite and are leaving the table pretty satisfied and full. But what's this? You feel a bit unsettled. You can't seem to carry on with your evening. You're distracted and a bit antsy. Why? You're craving dessert. You expect dessert. And not having dessert makes you feel like something is missing, even if you're not even physically hungry for it. So the nagging dessert fairy keeps poking you on the shoulder, urging you to rummage through the cabinets, check the freezer, and raid your kids' Halloween stash they're still keeping in their closet even though it's August. If this is a nightly negotiation for you too, you're not the only one having it. Come talk about it in Heartbeat, our free community where this exact kind of thing gets discussed out loud instead of just in your own head.
