On Hungry Days

Posted on 27. Jan, 2009 by Deb in Just.....Me

I don’t know if it’s the frigid cold, or the fact that I hardly ate real food yesterday, but I am having one of those hungry days today.  No  matter what I eat, it isn’t satisfying me – at least not for long.

Seriously.

Yesterday, I survived on mostly on meal replacements (protein bars, protein shakes) because I wasn’t that hungry, but knew  my body  needed food and my brain needed protein since I was going to class. I had a shake for breakfast, chili for lunch, a shake for an afternoon snack, and a protein bar at my break last night.  Oh, and a glass of red wine when I got home.

But from the moment I set my feet to the floor today?  I’ve been very food driven.  Like a puppy is food driven.

I had an egg sandwich, chili for lunch, Kashi Go-Lean Crunch for a snack, a skim latte for a later snack,  half a crab cake and some vegetables for dinner.  and I am sitting here looking at this empty plate next to me wondering what I can eat that would possibly fill me up.  (Don’t suggest the other half of the crab cake, that would be too rich).

Someone suggested to me that I was suppressing my sexual desire with food.   I don’t know about that.  Surely not, I mean, I have golf for that, right?  Does anyone else have these hungry days?

Excuse me while I go see what else is in the fridge….
