Food

[thistlechaser]

I have this odd thing going on. I have a freezer full of food. I have a car and so I could go out and get food. I'm hungry... but there's nothing I want to eat. I could drive anywhere, get any food I want, but... nothing appeals to me. It's not a lack of appetite (I think?), I am hungry, but I just don't want any food that's around. Any food that exists. It's like when you're craving something and no other food will do, except with the craving. It's the oddest thing.

It's been going on on and off for a week or two now. On weekend days I really just don't eat, but on weekdays since I'm at work I eat oatmeal in the morning, and since I have to leave work for an hour I get some fast food that I don't really want and eat it.

Bah.

I do this _all_ the time. Maybe that's part of why I'm thin.

My response, now, when I'm in a hungry, but nothing sounds appealing mood, is to decide if I'm more poor or lazy. If I'm lazy, I go get some cheap fast food. If I'm poor, I cook up something cheap, like mac'n'cheese. But there's no reason to go beyond these two extremes in one of these moods.

It does pass, though.

Yeah, that sounds like a good plan. What I do is just not eat if I don't want to (and since I'm not thin, skipping a meal won't hurt me), then eventually I'll either get hungry enough to eat or it'll become too late to eat that meal and so I should be hungry for the next one.
