Primary inattentive here, I’ve normally been a binge eater kind of guy. I won’t even be hungry, or am actually full, and I still crunch and munch away for the dopamine. I’ve taken to intermittent fasting (since once I start eating I don’t stop) and somewhat obsessive exercising to manage it
Recently experienced personal trauma and wowza I’ve had difficulty eating and drinking. The day it happened my wife had to force me to drink water
In maybe a similar manner I usually excel at driving, but occasionally something will happen that exacerbates my symptoms and just causes my driving ability to evaporate. In this case it’s usually the passenger trying to have a serious, fraught conversation
Not sure if I’m trying to make a point about anything, just maybe working through stuff in my head by vomitting words on the screen
I guess one positive from this is I’m going to look for a therapist again, so at least there’s that
Welcome, I am currently starving because to eat means to make a decision and possibly go outside when it’s COLD OUT
And I’m too hungry to make that decision let alone take on the cold to obtain the food in question.
Cheapest way I’ve found to obtain sustenance is HDRs. $40 for a case of 10 on Amazon, each one is a day’s ration. Two entrees, two packs of MRE crackers, peanut butter, strawberry jam, cookie, fig bar, pop tart… $4 for a day’s worth of food, delivered to your door.
That took me down a rabbit hole. Seriously tempted to replicate this for my work lunches: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanitarian_daily_ration
I wish I could find more products in retort packaging, but they aren’t very popular. Probably because they aren’t microwaveable.
It’s nice being able to throw the entree packet over the windshield defroster vents, and having a cheap, hot meal on the go.
I finally ended up making a meal. Made congee, with corn, peas, Parmesan and cheddar, and bacon. Easy, just takes a lot of time to simmer the rice. Usually make a huge batch too so I can have plenty of leftovers
I get hyper focused on whatever I’m doing and stop thinking about my needs like eating or using the restroom. At least, until I really have to go or I feel sick from not eating.
Honestly, working from home is so much better for me because every so often, my dogs want my attention to eat or go outside. I get up to take care of them and that’s when I realize that I need to take care of myself too.
