Hooked on…Nutella!

[ Edited ]

Since January it seems I've rediscovered Nutella.  I hadn't ate any in years, so I thought I'd pick up a jar.  Well, 5 jars later I find my spoon digging in a few times a day.

 

In the past, I've done this with other foods until finally I just didn't crave or want it anymore.  I even mentioned this to my dr. because I know it's terribly unhealthy.  She laughed it off telling me I needed to gain weight (due to illness) and just let it run its course.

 

Just wondering if there's any food you've seemed to crave like crazy and if so, did you just eventually get tired of it?

@cheriere : I tried nutella and not for me. Currently on high dose of prednisone and my only cravings are for chocolate and not a good thing.

@SouthernBee   Prednisone and steroid shots always make me eat the house down in general lol.  

I hope you feel better soon and are able to stop with the high dosages of prednisone.❤️

I loved Nutella but my problem is just to sit there and eat spoonfuls right out of the jar, called it quits 2 years ago and have not bought it since.

That's EXACTLY what I'm doing!!!  I guess I'm gonna have to not allow myself to buy anymore after the last of its finished.

 

Years ago, I went through a fettuccine Alfredo kick that I ate it so often, I still can't eat it!  I sure hope I can do the same with this.

@cheriere : Thank you. I was losing weight and had two doctors  pushing the weight loss but disabled and mobility issues. Diagnosed in November with ulcerative colitis and had major allergic reaction to the mantance medication. Seeing the gastro doctor next week and dreading it. I can speak up when pushed.😮😀

@SouthernBee    That's right, I remember talking with you about ulcerative colitis before.  I'm so so sorry to hear you're not doing well.  I sure hope the new gastro Dr is able to help you.  That disease can leave you physically/emotionally wrecked and frustrated to say the least.  Please keep me updated on how everything goes.  Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.❤️❤️❤️

Nutella----food of the gods!!!:Woman Very Happy

My newest obsession is hot, honey hommus----I know-- it's  spelled with a  u---but this brand, Cedars--spells it with an o--you know-- hot---honey----anyway--that stuff is so good!!! Think it is from Fred Meyer---I do love hummus. This has a sweeter taste from the honey and is spicy--but oh so good with veggies!! Another really good hummus is from target and it is choc brownie hummus---is a dessert type  for all types of fruit or by the spoonful!! I can't taste anything beany in that one---but so good!!

I like pretzel sticks dipped in Nutella.

I practically live on non fat greek yogurt...okois and roasted seaweed....kind of an addiction!  I never really took to nutella, too sweet for me I think.
