Not eating-- candy craving?

I noticed that when I start having issues with eating-- as in lack of appetite, and other bad feelings toward eating/food associated with ED-- that I start to completely go wild on candy. Im not usually a candy eater,or a sugar fan. But each time I fall into a bout where I am having eating problems, I start to go crazy on candy. Like right now, I cant get myself to eat a meal without feeling as if Im going to throw it up. And its not that I dont want to eat- I do want to eat. Otherwise I wouldnt have bought it. But I have been craving RedVines like MAD. Ive eaten two packs tonight. Last time I went through this, it was Sour Patch Kids. I ate bags and bags of them every day.

I know this is absolutely terrible. But does any one know if there is a correlation?

I don't know what the connection is, but I do do the same thing.

I imagine it is the body's need for immediate fuel, and that what sugar offers.
