    And then there’s the “ok, fine, time to eat now, oh but my plants are wilting so I need to water them. And now I need to clean some dishes in order to use them. I might as well deal with this mess on the counter and load the dishwasher for all the non-hand wash dishes. Oh right, I need to do some laundry, so I’d better put a load in while I’m thinking about it. Ah what was I doing? Oh yeah, washing the dishes. Might as well clean a fridge shelf while I’ve got the hot soapy water ready and dryer rack space. Fuck I’m hungry already? Didn’t I just–oh wait, I didn’t yet eat, time to check the fridge and freezer. Bah, everything needs time to cook and I want food NOW, no more effort. Maybe this one would be good–40 MINUTES!? I’ll probably die of starvation by then.”

    Followed by procrastinating for another hour or so before giving up and just getting fast food.

    Or another time, notice the large carrot on the counter is showing signs that it will need to be thrown out soon and somehow end up with carrot cake cookies less than an hour later, at around midnight. Haven’t made them since lol.

      look I love food. I treat it almost like a hobby. I’ve gone on grand adventures traveling many hours just to eat new food. but if I could make a wish and never have to eat ever again and have all food taste like ash in my mouth, I would in a heartbeat. eating sucks.

    A dear friend who has ADHD and hypoglycemia has to wear a monitor and alarm at all times because she’ll forget to eat and need to be rushed to a hospital. She can literally ADHD herself right into a coma.

    Every time someone is shocked when I say I’m hungry again, I just tell them, “I like eating so much, I’ve been known to do it three times a day.”

    By around the 36th hour of not eating i get super clear. My thinking is strangely not hopping from subject to subject and my body gets this odd boost of energy. Its like taking off weighted sunglasses. I don’t understand. Everyone jokes about getting shaky but that doesn’t start until about the 75th hour of not eating for me. The stomach pain stops after the first 18 hours too. Am i just borderline ed over here?
