I Have To Eat Something

Have you ever found yourself hungry but nothing sounded good to eat? Then you find you’re telling yourself that you have to eat something even if it’s wrong? This has happened to me. Many times it happens when I get busy doing something and the next thing I know it’s hours past time to eat. Sometime even the food I had planned to eat then no long sounds good. Then I’ll find myself looking through the cupboards and refrigerator for something that will tickle my fancy. After not finding anything that will cure my crazy unknown craving, I just go back to doing whatever I was doing before I realized I had better eat something. A couple of hours later my stomach will be clobbering me over the head screaming, “Feed me!” I’ll return to the kitchen telling myself I need to eat something even if it’s wrong. I suppose what I really mean is I need to eat something even if it’s something I don’t feel like eating. Has that ever happen to you?

Unfortunately yes. And I say it like that, as years ago, I was fine not eating for a long time. But now, if I don't eat quite regularly, even if its small, I start to feel sick sort of. Hope you ate something Richard.

Having an empty stomach isn't good. You might develop some kind of ulcers.

It's not an everyday thing. It only happens every one in a blue moon.

Oh yes - this haopens a lot! But I will make sure to eat something ...because if I don"t, the monster in me will come out! I try to keep the kitchen well stocked. But if I am really bad, I will just go out and pick up something . I was up a bit last night and caved ....I ate some chips around 11:30pm !

@RichardMeister I haven't gone to Taco Bell lately . . . the local one is being updated, so it's been closed for weeks now. Though I suppose I could go anywhere - it's not like it's the only Taco Bell in town. I haven't been out that way to Papa Murphy's yet . . . ah, something to do when the kids get out of school in a few weeks!!

I don't keep things like chips in the house. When I think about going out to eat when I end up hungry I usually tell myself I have plenty to eat at home so there is no need to go out spending money. Although back when I was working I probably wouldn't have given it a second thought to run down the a fast food restaurant.

@much2say When I leave my place and go right there is a Taco Bell in about 4 miles. If I go left, there is a Taco Bell in about 4 miles. I'm covered in both ways. If I go left there is a Papa Murphy's in the same strip mall as the Taco Bell. If I go right I have to dive a little farther to get to a Papa Murphy's that way.

If i don't eat a certain times it doesn't go well for me so I have to eat something even when I don't feel like it.

It can be hard to find something appealing sometimes especially if you don't tend to keep junk food in the house.

The last time I bought cookies that screamed at me all night long to come and eat them. Haven't bought any since.

Yes it has. Monday I had no idea what I wanted. Eventually I ate a weird mismatch plate of food.

Sometime that's about the only thing that sounds good.

That happens to me all the time. I get busy doing something and never make it into the kitchen.
