I have been posting in mylot all morning and the next thing I knew it was after 1pm and
I am hungry and feeling a little wozzy. I lost track of time again. I do this a lot when
I am posting in mylot because I get so engrossed in it that I forget the time.
So I just made myself something to eat and since it is Saturday and grocery shopping day,
there wasn't a lot to choose from. So I opened a can of peach slices and had three halves
and a piece of toast. I didn't think it was going to be enough but it was all the bread
I had left, need to go shopping. I feel much better now and so I am ready to post again
in mylot for the rest of the day.
Do you ever get so engrossed in mylot that you forget to eat and then you feel sick and
have no choice but to stop and eat something? Please share your story.
Alrighty then, talk to you later my friend,
Have a good mylotting day, Chris

Heyya chrislotz! I do lose track of time when mylotting. Especially on the weekends. I get up early and will myLot until the kids roll up out of bed. That's usually around 11 or 12. It's easy to get caught up in all the discussions. Take care.

Hi! ChrislotZ!
Yes, I also sometimes get engrossed in mylotting and I even forgt to take water and Keep feeling thirsty and hungry also. Such is the charm and attraction of mylot and friends here on mylot that I wish that I could continue and conintue without any break of even 5 minutes. Utlimately, when things go beyond control, I go for a glass of water and some snacks, specially, when I am at home. However, it does not happen and I do mylotting in breaks.

I sometimes get so engrossed that I don't go to the bathroom either, not until I can't hold it anymore. Silly huh!

LOL! I also do like-wise and postpone my urge to go to washroom, if I am so much engrossed in mylot.

P.S. - I sent you a request for add, did you check it and are you going to accept the same?

I never saw that you requested my friendship so I now went into your profile and requested yours, my friend.

Well, I am Insulin Diabetic so it is very Vital I eat like I am supposed to so that I do not get sick. For me, it is easier to follow more of a Routine the days I work as I have more of a schedule set for those days. But on my days off it does tend to work as in what time I get up for the day, and have my first meal as well. But I know if I let it, it is easy to forget to eat and then pay for it later when I do not feel the best as well.

Hi Chris...
Lol. Seems to me that you have the Mylot bug. I know the feeling of being too engrossed with the discussions that you completely forget that you're supposed to eat. There was a time when I started Mylotting in the morning and "realized" that I needed to eat, sleep and go to the bathroom all at the same time at 6pm in the evening. Haha. No wonder I was feeling sort of weird that time. I completely forgot that I needed to do all these things.

At times I have the mylot bug but not as often as I used to. I am rarely very active here these days. I try to make at least one post a day but lately I have been trying harder to do more.

Lol that's funny. I actually thought I was the only one. This happened to me a few times. It doesn't happen only when I'm on mylot though, it's when I'm really into something on the internet or computer in general. I used to make graphics and banners a lot and when I get into that I spend hours on it until I get it just right and finish it. Time also flies when I'm editing the layout of my blogger pages. I spend more time on that than I do actually updating them which is bad lol.

It happens to me when I am working offline too. I just forget. I get too busy and hunger and food are the last things on my mind, till I start to feel sick.

I get like that all the time; I forget to eat or a feel a little hungry think about getting something to eat and I would just tell myself in a min. Next thing I know i feel really light headed and I have to get something to eat right away. It's really bad habit I have and working on getting rid off it.

I know what you mean. I wait too long to eat and then I have to have something right away so I end up eating things that aren't so healthy just to get something quick in my sstomach.

Well the best bet to bet that is to have healthy snacks hanging around the house so you can munch on ; like health chips and bars or fruit bowls ; that's what my husband make sure that's inside the house. His a health nut, but he get mad at me all the time when I forget to it.

I never had it happen to me. I guess I do not stay with anything long enough to forget about eating. Besides I get rather hypnotic after a time on the computer and I have to get up and walk around. (Fear of being unable to wedge myself loose from my chair is a good motivator). I am also not on myLot for most of the day, as there is so much going on. Have to take a walk, watch Tv, and take care of my husband. Oh and there is that little time on the task bar that is easy to see.

I forget to eat quite often. I get focused on other things so easily...especially if I'm writing. It used to be that mylot could do this too, but nowadays it's just regular life stuff, reading, and writing that can do this to me.
I don't usually feel sick, before the point that I recall that I should eat, but as soon as I realize it my stomach does answer with a growl.

Yes, you have to be careful with your diabetes. I was diagnosed two years ago with really high sugar, borderline diabetic they called it. But I lost 30 pounds since then and my sugar levels are okay again.

I do tend to just forget to eat a lot of times. No matter what I'm caught up in doing - I end up looking at the clock and saying, "did I eat? should I eat? is it too far past lunch and should I just wait for supper?".

There is one good thing about forgetting to eat and that is that we aren't putting a lot
of wasted calories into our bodies.

I do not forget to eat because I am too engrossed in mylot but I do forget to eat because I am busy doing other things. I always think too that if I stop to eat then I have less time to get done so often go without just so I can complete what I want to do!! I go until I get to the really sickly point and start to lose my energy and then I just have to have a snack or something!

I end up getting a bad headache and then I have no choice but to eat, even if I am in the middle of something, I have no choice by then.

I know I was feeling pretty sickly and for me to continue on in mylot I had to stop
and eat something or I would have to go lay down.
Thanks for the response my friend. Go eat!

I had that experience too. The minute I woke up I will switch on the computer and check how far my discussions reach the targeted readers. When I see it has got many responses I will sit and start commenting to my responders and often am being carried away with mylotting. I will only realize that I haven't brushed my teeth, haven't taken my morning shower when I feel myself sticky and my stomach giving out noises. I forgot myself totally. LOL

I often forget to eat supper.... I will eat brunch about 11 am sometimes and I will make supper for my hubby and then I don't feel like eating and then I get busy. I don't eat until I feel sick .. then I know my blood sugar is low and I will eat and feel better.

You too huh. I am not feeling so good right now so I am just having some toast and coffee.

I forget to eat all the time which usually results in a horrible headache and that sick feeling you described. Those days are always the days that there is nothing to eat in the house.

I have only been out of bed for the last half hour and I already feel sick, like I need
to eat something, so I am making some toast right now and hopefully that will work. I
really think I might be coming down with something because my stomach has really been
bothering me a lot the last couple days. I feel hungry but don't have an appatite.

No, I won't. I eat so little, I seldom feel hungry, but once I am hungry I can't stand the feeling of hungry, I could just run to the kitchen and found something to stuff my stomach with food.

I know what you mean about the sleep. I get so involved with the computer and mylot that I end up staying up too late and then that makes me feel ill too. Need to get more food and more sleep.
