I.Am.Starving.
Why do I keep buying those microwave Lean Cuisine meals? They taste delicious, but they do not make me any less hungry than I was prior to eating them. I'm serious — I would expect them not necessarily to fill me up, because it's not a lot of food, volume wise. But I sat here eating one today and I literally felt NO less hungry after I finished eating. I was still every single bit as hungry as before. Now I'm in a tough situation, because Jeff is taking me out to dinner tonight at Lola's, which we used to go to all the time but haven't in a while, and I plan to eat a lot of food, including their amazing mac & cheese, and also to drink my favorite alcoholic beverage of all time, their canteloupe martini. However, I'm starving to death now! Do I eat something now and risk not being hungry enough later? Or do I sit here wasting away until dinnertime, which by the time we're eating will be 8:30 at the earliest? At least I'll be a cheap date! I'll probably be drunk after one martini!
Cheers to that!
By the way, I just re-read this post and realized that a huge number of my blentries are about food. I'm going to have to create a food category!
