Hungry
With my 100 pound weight loss, a bit more than 4 years ago now, I have had very little fluctuation in my weight or clothing sizes since my weight has stabilized. Now at 181 pounds, I wear a 16/35 shirt, a 34in waist and 32 inch leg on my pants, and a 44 sport coat. I have fluctuated only + or - 5 pounds from that weight for over four years.
The reality is I am not hungry often, and I eat a helluva lot of good, healthy, low-to-no fat food. But today, for some reason, even though I ate my breakfast, I am feeling ravenous. Yet, it is a kind of hunger that I suspect will not dissipate even if I were to eat three foot-long sub sandwiches in the span of a half an hour. I believe it is just an after effect of my feelings of anxiety. And feeling anxiety is a damn stupid, foolish, worthless thing that I do far to damn often in my life. I am sick of it.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
Congrats on keeping the weight off.
ReplyDeleteWe're just about done with Diwali-- so despite my sugars the lesser said the better.
Sounds to me like you may be taller than my 5ft 9in. I never feel hungry so have to force myself to eat to keep from getting too skinny and keep my weight over 140lbs.
ReplyDeleteDo all U professors suffer from anxiety? Maybe you and Teri should talk about that being as she does also.
Nicotine patches can give you dreams, accidentally put on two because of a brain fart and they get even more interesting. I think that’s pretty cool, better than pot for an interesting experience, that could get addictive.
Why do you change the goals, why not just four bowls a day everyday? Then 3, then 2.
I just can't grasp smoking as a hobby, collecting pipes is a hobby.
Did you see that over at MIT they've invented a paper thin material that stops bullets? Now that's pretty damn good science.
ReplyDeleteHey Pipe,
ReplyDeleteOn anxiety, how's your blood pressure? Once I got better control of my blood pressure, I felt far less anxious.
For me, I had to pretty much get rid of the salt which is in high quantity in just about all processed foods. Also increased consumption of high potassium foods (ie salt-free tomato juice, avocados, potatoes, fresh food). I call it the "no cans and no condiments diet." It's tough sometimes because just about everything out there is loaded.
Work can cause anxiety too, especially with a Pointy-Haired Boss for a supervisor.
