Hi Over The Last 6 Months Or So I Seem
hi
over the last 6 months or so I seem to have become addicted to eating frozen ice cubes. It is the first thing I seem to want to eat in the morning and last thing I want to eat at night. I like snacking on it. I like to eat and crunch on it separately from my drinks. I prefer it to even chocolate etc. I am anaemic and have lately put on weight in the last year and trying to lose it again at the moment. I have been eating healthy over the last week and going to the gym and normally I wouldve lost atleast a kilo but I am worried the ice is bloating me and causing me constipation sometimes. Can you please tell me what the consequences of eating ice can be? And what is the reason for my ice addiction?
