I get confused about this too.  I'm 5'7" with a medium build, and it seems most people at my height consider 120/125 to be a good weight.  However, when I was 125 everyone told me I looked way too skinny, plus I was wearing a size 2.  So I think it really does depend on your body.  I think maybe in my case it's because I have longer than average arms, so I know that must add about 5 pounds or so.

you most likely have an "allergy" or intolerance to it, which is actually quite common.  there are a few foods I am intolerant to and i crave like CRAZY.  dairy is a common one, as is wheat, cane sugar, moldy foods (like nuts and chocolate).  certain hormones are released, like endorphins, dopamine, etc, so it it just like a drug.  anything you put in your body can be a drug, doesn't matter if it's legal or illegal.  I have had this problem a lot, where i actually get a major head change from eating the food, like an insane high or calmness, and i can't stop eating it and crave it constantly.  if you avoid it for long enough the cravings go away, just like anything else.
