The More That I Craved !

Since I only eat bread with fillings and coffee for breakfast at 6:30 a.m. , to avoid getting late at work , I would be hungry at 10:00 a.m. , our snacktime . I always have my packed rice for lunch , so, at snacktime I would buy my viands at our canteen and eat my early lunch or brunch in my office room. But this morning , at only 9:00 a.m. I was already hungry !

Thus , I ate my pack of sweet macapuno (young coconut candy ) , the only food in my drawer. However , the more I ate them , the more I craved for a meal .

Hence when the guard told me that the food concessionaires were already at the canteen at 9:45 a.m , I went there and bought my viands . When the bell rang at 10:00 for the snacktime , I was already eating .

Gosh , have you felt this way ? The more you eat of something , the more you craved for a meal ?

It's a mistake to eat sweets at mid morning, because they make you feel more hungry. I usually do not take a mid morning snack, but if I really feel hungry I get toasted bread with soft cheese spread.

@SIMPLYD I know that if I have a snack around 10 or 10:30, then I skip lunch.

When I eat sweets, they actually reduce my appetite for anything else afterward...

I am alway full because I eat 5 times a day! i dont gain weight anyway. I have a healthy balanced diet though. I do crave certain Junkfoods but I dont eat them anymore ever since I turned 30. I heard heart disease starts with this age.

Wow , you don't gain weight despite eating 5 times a day . How i wish i still have that kind of metabolism , so i can eat and eat without being afraid of getting fat .

That is good that you don't eat junkfoods anymore since reaching 30 . I do eat junkfoods once in a while just to taste if i still like them as before , And i discovered i don't anymore .

@SIMPLYD I am eating my breakfast right now! 2 boiled eggs, chopped Roma tomatoes (sprinkled with patis) , a cup of boiled white rice, a cup of black coffee, and banana . . Those are what a poor fil-canadian like me usually eat for breakfast . . . for lunch just boiled rice sprinkled with patis . . for dinner nothing . . coz I am saving for airline fare to balikbahay.

It seems you like patis so much because you sprinkle it in your boiled rice and tomatoes . I suppose you don't have high blood? I also love bagoong . I always have a dip of bagoong with lemon drops and chopped Thati chili . Makes me eat so much . Love it . But i think there's none there except maybe when you go to a Filipino store?

@SIMPLYD O, we have almost all Philippine foods here . . . including talbos ng kamote, malunggay, okra, and so on. Pangasinan bagoong, munamun at hipon . . we have them, too. In fact, lots of different Philippine products and lots of different Filipino personalities are here in Calgary. The only ones that we don't have yet are pickpockets.

@KnehKnah That is just now , because my tummy seem to grow big .

Going back on how i maintain it , i guess it runs in our family . All of us 5 girl siblings are on the slim side , just like our mother . I am just lucky to have such gene.

And how do you maintain that trim body, my dear @SIMPLYD ? Just by eating less rice?

Yes, they are really delicious and sweet . I actually have them on my office table side drawer for my dessert after each lunch . So having them before a meal , made me crave for a meal .

I am very hungry now, and the snack you showed in the picture makes me feel even hungrier! Sometimes I do feel that too. Sometimes I still feel very hungry after eating much.

Oh i am sorry i made you hungry looking at those sweets.

I realized sweets should really be eaten as desserts . Because if we eat it before a main meal , the more it would make us eat a lot during meal time . They're actually my desserts after lunch . But since i am already very hungry and the food concessionaires haven's arrived yet , i just have to eat some of those .

Some foods make us crave more. I would never have candy in the morning. Fruit or cheese is a better alternative.
