Satisfaction level: Low. I don’t know why! I mean, I’ve eaten a lot worse during the day before and yet I didn’t feel such cravings. I didn’t particularly crave meat but I JUST WANT TO EAT! I mean, dinner was a lot of food. I had a lot of mushrooms leftover which I sauteed up. But after an hour, I had to raid the fridge for the yogurt. Even after that I still felt like I should eat some more.
The funny thing is, though, the next day, I was still feeling the hunger but the thought of red meat totally turned me off. Usually, I’d run screaming for a burger on Wednesday, but not this time.
Then again, tonight I just chowed down some pastrami sandwich. LOL.
Thoughts: Thai people have a word, “hoay”. Craving is close enough a translation word but it’s not exactly and famished is not it either. A feeling of dissatisfaction that leaves you kind of longing or hungry for more even though you’re not physically hungry. That was how I felt on Tuesday when I went looking for the yogurt. It’s like a munchy that your brain tells you to eat but you’re physically unable to. Strange, strange feeling.
Then I realized, I think I wanted a beer. But I wasn’t supposed to drink on Tuesdays. So…that might be it.
Oh god. Am I *THAT* dependent on a wind-down bottle? I hope not…
