We are trained to crave and want those things. A few years back when I was married still I was cooking all natural all organic and all preservative free...it took our taste buds time to readjust to the non processed taste of the food. It was a learning period. as for why do we go back? Weirdly enough I wrote a post that I sent live about 10 minutes ago that goes hand in hand with this....I think the first time around I was so focused on food and while I did it more slowly...I didn't allow the 'bad stuff' into my life! So when I arrived at utopia (goal weight) I was able to indulge a little bit.. I hadn't visited my 'old friends' for such a long time (old friends being those oh so unhealthy foods that were our friends through the fat years). I revisited and it was ugly because I retrained myself in the old unhealthy habits (muscle memory maybe!). This time I'm trying to incorporate exercise into my life as a new lifestyle....and in doing it allowing myself to ease up on being a food nazi....so I can still have a few indulgences...hopefully when I get back to goal I won't dive headfirst into the 'old friends' because I haven't ignored them for years!!!
