It's said that it's your body's way of telling you you're lacking in something - possibly sugar?! I had a thing for ice lollies whilst pregnant and I was much warmer at that time (I'm normally a cold person - physically, not emotionally by the way!). Our body knows when it needs something and tries to alter our behaviour to make sure it gets it, apparently.

I also read once that people's habits sometimes stem from physical deficiencies. For example, if you bite your nails you could be lacking in calcium. I always sit with my legs crossed under me (bent at the knees) and apparently this is common in people who have low blood pressure. It's the body's way of limiting blood flow to the lower extremities, so keeping blood pressure a little higher. My blood pressure is on the low side of normal, so maybe that's why I do this?!

Humans are weird, huh? ;)

I had a baby nine month ago i thought maybe this s why i still have the cravings, but then i cant really blame that lol, i dont normally eat alot of rubbish food etc, so dont know why i get these cravings, it always seems to be when shop is shut too.

annoyingly it is sometimes a case of wanting what you can't have, as soon as someone says you can't have something you automatically want it. same as if i say i'm on a diet i am suddenly really hungry:roll:
