I'm pretty sure that if I stopped drinking so much wine, I would lose weight, but frankly, I like the wine. Also, I think I might have caused the hangry thing by not eating, like, at all, when I was in high school (I seriously ate a snickers bar and a diet mountain dew a day, or maybe some yogurt or a popsicle.)
Maybe I've always been here.

Calories never really make sense to me on an instinctive level. I mean, the sandwich that was so filling I could barely finish it today was 370 calories, but a small apple that was like inhaling a breath of air for breakfast was nearly a third of that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think that's about fat v. carb. I swear, fat makes me full, and carbs just make me more hungry.
FTR, I'm still satisfied from the Burrito Bowl, even with no tortilla! I was seriously thinking I would need a snack.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Whatever they put in celery makes me more hungry. For something else. Carbs make me want more carbs because they are tastier than sin. Fat makes me slow my roll.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
the apple/ sandwich thing is good example of why we over eat. we don't really notice 100 calories - so it easy to over eat by 100 calories.
that's one theory anyway

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Because there's no nutritional value to celery; you're just burning up calories to eat it....
Seriously, has anyone every been stranded on a desert island with nothing but celery to eat - and lived to tell about it?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
DH and I are doing Nutrisystem and it's about 1200 cal/day for me and 1450/day for him. You eat three meals a day plus a snack and a dessert and I don't feel hungry. I actually feel like I eat MORE than I used to, since it's a lot of veggies, salads, protein, and fruit. I have, like, yogurt, a diet muffin and a pear for breakfast; soup, salad and carrot sticks for lunch, chocolate skim milk and some fruit for a snack and an entree, salad, two vegetables and dessert for dinner.
I've lost 5 lbs in the last two weeks, which I know will slow down to a more respctable 1-2 lbs per week. Last time DH did this diet, he lost 50 lbs, so I know it works for somefolk.
