Food ramblings--

I just finished lunch and it got me to thinking about food and all the emotions that surround it.

For example, I brought in a Lean Cuisine Chicken and Spinach Panini sandwich. I was feeling pretty hungry so I walked to the local farmers market for a salad and fat free ranch dressing (which I hate but don't feel guilty after eating it). It was very filling and ok tasting for a low fat lunch. So, I'm full but not satisfied. Does that make sense? Now I'm wondering--did I want something additional or just something different? Why do I feel full but still want to eat? Why do emotional eaters, which I am one of, think about the emotions that are tied to food???

Oh well, I'll just eat my afternoon snack of turkey pepperoni I suppose and pretend it had dough and cheese with it so it'd be tastier. :sigh:

Deep thoughts on emotional eating:

I guess of all my uncles, I liked Uncle Caveman the best. We called him Uncle Caveman because he lived in a cave, and because sometimes he'd eat one of us. Later on, we found out he was a bear.
