I am hungry a lot more of the time.
« on: March 17, 2007, 11:35:28 pm »
Ok.

I am from circumstances. The body is neat, it can adjust to a diet of one meal a day or less pretty well. I have not been in circumstances for a good time now. I am recently eating more, and now that it is warm, I am spending days outside.

Why am I hungry so much now? It's not like hunger pangs, but the nagging thought at the back of my mind that I want to eat something. Mostly I have fruits or a omelette (i am learning how to make good omelettes and going through a lot of eggs) and sometimes a bagel. Also meats, grains.

I have belly pudge but it isn't noticeably increasing. Also, my beard and mustache sealed up, and I am having more body hair come in.

If this is some kind of secondary puberty shenanigans at twenty, I am not amused.

Could you be... with child? Did she at least do the honourable thing and get engaged to you?

There is nothing sadder than a pregnant dude and a shotgun wedding.

I bet it's a tapeworm. I bet that drinking some kerosene would help with that.

I periodically go through times like that.

Of course, my doctor also broke my mom's heart by telling her that I'm "practically anorexic," which was completely unnecessary. And a lie. What she meant was "his BMI would make us think that he is anorexic except that he just gained 8 lbs, which indicates that he is not eating in an anorexic manner you stupid doctor making my mom get all upset what the fuck are you thinking"

but yeah, sometimes I go through periods of being hungry all the time. It's weird. You'd think I had a hunger-drive or something.

Then I'm just hungry, with crystal clear urine. I should go make a wikipedia entry about my urinations.

So you're hungry all the time? Welcome to the world that most women have to inhabit their whole lives.

My next suggestion would be to talk to your doctor. Maybe it indicates a larger underlying problem.

If I have a tapeworm, I'm not going to do a damn thing about it.

Friggin' ultimate diet aid. Nothing spells "8% bodyfat here I come!" like a 20 foot long parasite coiled in my intestines.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go watch Alien again.

This is partially because, as I have said, because our culture is fucked. Man how I hate this. I am angry now.

As an aside, there is some stupid fuck*ng reality show about "Top Models". It goes through this whole fuck*ng deal about these poor girls trying to last on this show and not be thrown off. They are all like bundles of sticks already, and the other people on the show talk about how they need to lose weight and stay tight and all that horseshit. Then at the end, over the end credits, there's a little PSA of a nine year old girl saying horrible things like "you're too fat" and "you need to lose weight" and all that, and then the blurb comes on the screen saying that at age nine like 40% of girls have already dieted, and how we need to change this and it's a horrible thing. I don't even have anything clever to say here. What the fuck is wrong with these people.

Amen, Nabu.

Fooker, it could be anything from a thyroid issue to anemia to dehydration. Also, if the composition of your diet is limited (e.g. if you're not getting a lot of variety), you may be missing key nutrients that prompt a hunger response (your body just trying to get you to eat and eat and eat in hopes that eventually you'll consume something that has the missing elements in it).

If you're eating more protein than carbs, you could be experiencing carb cravings. The body can process carbs more quickly, and if you suddenly decrease your carb intake, your body has to retrain itself to be patient during the processing of protein. So I'd suggest monkeying with your diet and then possibly checking in with your doctor.

This definitely sounds hormonal in nature.
