STARVING!

Hunger is an multi-leveled thing. I mean, there are TRULY hungry people in the
world. People that will consider themselves lucky to have a bowl of rice today.

But where I live, people generally have plenty to eat, in fact too much.

I, for one, used to think about food all the time. I love food! And I would plan
my day around it. I would start thinking, gee, I am starting to get hungry. What
shall I eat?

But Sensa has created this new sort of situation for me. Much better, to be sure,
but there are negatives.

I don't think about food in between meals now. I am satisfied with my meals and
my brain recognizes this. I don't really snack anymore.

But what used to be a gradual recognition of hunger has now become a strange jolt
of awareness. In about 2 seconds, I can go from not thinking at all about food to
being RAVENOUSLY hungry! It's kind of strange and tough to get used to.

I am starting to notice a general timeframe for it to happen, so perhaps I can get
used to the idea that I should start preparing food to be ready at certain times,
knowing that I will be hungry.

I don't really want to eat before I am hungry. All the diet plans tell you to
wait until you feel actual hunger pangs before you eat. I always knew I was
SUPPOSED to do that. But I just couldn't bring myself to do it before.

Feeling (a little) hungry is actually kind of neat. I rarely used to let myself
get to that point before eating. It feels so nice to feel like my body and brain
are finally in sync. And I feel SO MUCH less guilt eating when other people can
actually hear the rumbling!!

Mmmm...sorry, I am definitely going to have to go eat now!! ;-) (Don't worry, I
will be sure to sprinkle Sensa on it first!)
