I'm well into day 2 of my TOM, and the hunger has taken over! It's not yet 1pm, and I've managed to eat not only my lunch, but all three of my granola bars (meant as snacks throughout the day). Argh! So now I have nothing but my bottle of One-A-Day Vitamins to get me through 'til after work. F-u-u-u-c-k!
Okay, I need to not panic. I have all the water a girl could possibly want available to me at the water cooler. Let's see, what else do I have in my desk drawer? Some LifeSavers candy, an old box of Mike & Ike's, and some Pepto-Bismol... and a light bulb. I guess I could eat glass instead of that candy, and then gulp down the Pepto to calm the then-shredded stomach. (Sigh.)
It's going to be okay, it's post-lunch, and I'm pretty filled up - sorta. It's just that I always become so ravenous when my TOM hits. I crave hearty things, like BEEF and BURRITOS and CHEESEBURGERS and ENTIRE PIZZAS. And those things are going to sound just fine and dandy when I get home six hours from now.
Speaking of things not to do on an empty stomach, I need to grocery shop tonight. I have no OJ, no more milk, no more cereal, no more fruit, my granola bar reserve has nearly run dry, and I'm two Lean Cuisine boxes away from having an empty freezer. Here's hoping that there's a big sale going on at Vons this week ((fingers crossed)).
Posted by weezgrrl at August 5, 2004 01:05 PMI know exactly how you feel about hunger. I lost two pounds and then I couldn't any more. I'd eat a healthy, filling meal then 3o minutes later I'd be starving again. Finally, I decided to try Mega-T green tea appetite surpressors and they really help. Maybe you could look into that if you'd be interested.
