i mean, if you want to have a certain amount of vegetables, for instance, and you don’t like cucumbers, there’s enough other vegetables which exist that you should be able to eat something else

ime there are (at least) two kinds of wanting to eat something and they can be easy to confuse if you spend a lot of time dissociating from your body one kind is a bodily craving which is actually pointing towards stuff your body is deficient in, and can change frequently

the other kind is more about like habit or emotional soothing, usually reflects food preferences i had as a kid, and is like... not sure how to describe this but the experience of both the wanting and the eating is "more constructed," less bodily
