cleverjewishpun,
The GR”A pointed out (I saw it many years ago, so forgive me if I’m not quoting perfectly) that if one doesn’t satisfy his urges the normal way, then he will try to satisfy them in an unusual way. I believe that goes for both extremes. For example, a regular person eats a sandwich for lunch, a street bum might steal to get his bread or look in the garbage, and a spoiled rich man will look for more and more titillating food. Neither the street bum nor the spoiled rich man are normal.
Because you were “starving” you went after the unusual. Once you get back to eating a normal lunch, you should get rid of most of your desires. I think that you will still have some Yetser Hara to overcome.
