I heard a program once about how deprivation causes cravings, and
fixations on the item lacked... the brain focuses on the "missing" thing
to an obsession... whether it be physical or emotional... kinda made
sense...  For you, having it in the freezer tells your brain that it is
available, so the craving isn't necessary...
