New Discovery Sounds Trigger My Bad Eating!

Hi Everyone, thank you for the wonderful comments

on the last post, I finally got a chance to answer back to each one,

so thank you for your understanding.

I realized something new about myself today,

I knew I liked food because of visual presentation,

And there are certain smells that can be so tempting.

Today I realized that sounds trigger me into thinking of certain foods.

Bees buzzing in my garden makes me think of honey

and then peanut butter and honey sandwiches.

How silly is that.

I live in a city where I hardly ever hear the whistle of a train,

Tonight because of the way the wind was blowing

I thought of the farm where I grew up

and one of the favorite treats were

fresh homemade buns with butter and jam.

How do you go from a whistle blowing to that.

Birds singing in the morning makes me

want a morning coffee with creamer.

The sixties music makes me want Root beer and a Burger.

Now I am not saying always but it was surprising for me

to realize the correlation between the two.

Every evening at 530 the ice cream truck goes by.

playing the music that sounds like a fair,

and though I can't see the truck I automatically

start thinking ice cream and even cotton candy.

Batter out strike three

makes me want a hot dog.

Running the tub for a long bath

makes me want a glass of wine.

The sound of coughing and sneezing makes

me crave chicken noodle soup.

The sound of a crackling fire makes me want to

have marshmallows even though I don't

really like marshmallows.

The crack of a beer can being opened

makes me want to eat pizza.

and it is not my beer being cracked open.

The sound of an angry voice not even directed at me

makes me want some comfort food.

The sound of different accents

makes me crave certain foods.

I must be either a nut bar or a food addict.

Thank goodness when I turn on my treadmill

and I hear the beep, beep,

it makes me want to exercise.

Ha maybe I need to start wearing ear plugs for sounds that trigger me,

A really dark pair of glasses so I won't find food visually appealing.

Well I may as well get a noseclip so I can not smell any lovely aromas

Oh and I should wear gloves so that I won't be able to touch food either

although I don't think that really triggers me, unless I were to put a finger

in say mashed potatoes, yes you could not hold me back

and the shouting of encouraging voices saying

Cinner, no, no don't do it

hopefully would snap me back to reality

where hopefully I could pick up my dignity that has fallen

flashing its feet on the floor.

Egads do you think I woke up hungry?

I am starting to think so.

I will try to go back to bed but I know when that alarm

rings in the morning hubby better be out of the way

or a Cinner with dark glasses, wearing gloves,

a nose clip and one ear plug

will hit the floor running and when that fridge door

opens anything is game. It is a good thing I got my food

ready for tomorrow, it is also a good thing I can't drive

or I would be in line at Tim Hortons for a  Breakfast Baget,

a double double, oh and well just throw in a box of Tim Bits.

Just kidding I am going to stick to plan,

I am going to do everything I can to.

My nephews are leaving Friday

and I know when we say Good bye,

I will want to eat something right away.

Maybe it is a good thing that I am aware of what I do.

It is up to me to change my Triggers and to 

break my habits

So if you see me in line somewhere don't honk

that may make me think

I have quacked up.

I know this too shall pass.

Have a great day.

Do you have trigger sounds.

I would love to hear your stories.
