Re: I ate something I have not had in a long time

[Guest guest]

I love those cookies. Food does have alot of great memories attached to them. Since I am an emotional eater I have to ask myself what is it about this type of food that serves my emotional needs? Home and the security of family. Since they are all gone, food is all that I have to fill the void. That was my old way of thinking. Now I remember the taste and smell and enjoy the memory moment.

Yeah, I know the feels. I have not had this Raspberry Sticks and Orange Sticks with chocolate cover. Man, they are my favorite in my whole life since my mother started have me eat some once in a while when she could afford. Not long ago I bought one with Orange Sticks and I eat that whole thing in 2 days and I realized how much I have had missed the taste so I decide bought a bunch to the point I do not eat the whole thing in 2 days anymore. Same with Pepperidge Farm with Milano. Orange and Mint are my first favorite and I saw there a few new flavor that I have not try before. Unlikely the first two are not that too sweet taste as those new flavors that come out.

It's cool that the simple taste of milk and cookies can help invoke a sense of

child-like freedom!

Very true. I did that with Hershay's Chocolate. Couple years ago I decide why

not the hell eat all that I want. No matter how much I had desire. I eat quite a

lot to the point I lost of how much and one day I had not thought or feel urge

eat any. Seem that I just stop eat that altogether since then. What even more

that hershy has no longer taste good to me. Though I turn to Dove sugar free

Mint is my favorite and always will be.
