Comforting goodies

Brownies, Ice Cream, Cookies, Chocolate. Comfort foods. That's what we classify the afore mentioned foods as. So delicious, so...comforting.

Why in the world would I blog about comfort foods? Well, reason one is because I'm a girl. Reason two, because I am currently wanting all of the above. Not because I need comforting at this particular moment. But because I just really love eating those foods. Most people (men to be specific) don't understand why women need comfort foods. Well, I shall explain.

There are times in life when things just don't go our way, and when these times come upon us we need an escape. The only real escape that is acceptable and causes the least amount of damage (unless you count weight gain as damage), is eating food. Chocolates, ice creams, bon bons, smores, you name it and we will probably consume it in our time of need. These foods, although high in calories, fat, and high frustoce corn syrup, are some of the most delicious and nutritional(nutritional for our minds that is) foods a girl can eat. So, as a boyfriend or husband, don't comment on our splurges. Don't ask questions if you're sent to the store to buy candy or Ben and Jerry's, just do it.

The female pshyce is a complicated thing, so complicated in fact that we as women don't even understand most of the time. So don't try and analyze why we pick certain foods to consume in mass quantities every once in a while.



I sometimes wonder how these foods act as comforts. Well I have come up with an answer. Mind you it isn't a scientifically correct one, but it works just as well. Sugary foods are naturally yummy and addicting and in times of weakness when our will power is at an all time low, we give in and eat. Also, in just about every dream a girl partakes in some form of these foods makes an appearance. Maybe it's a boyfriend sending her a box of chocolates at the office, or a husband covering the bed with kisses. But yes, we do dream about sweets. Also, Comfort foods are just as good as a kiss, or a hug, or cuddling. This is why, after a break up or a particularly nasty fight, the goods are brought out. Consuming them can only better our somber moods. So if your mind is screaming COMFORT just listen and indulge.


Until later,
