Eating, eating, eating.

It seems like every time I turn around I’m hungry and eating something. Apparently I’m not eating too much since I’m not gaining much weight (which is good—I’m not complaining!) but it feels like I shouldn’t be eating so much.

I tease that I eat two breakfasts and two lunches per day. First, I eat animal crackers or cereal when I first get up because I am RAVENOUS. Then anywhere from an hour to two hours later, I am hungry again, so I eat a more substantial breakfast (scrambled eggs, breakfast sandwich, leftover dinner, etc.). Then I eat something for lunch (not a lot in quantity though, because I get full quickly), then 1-2 hours later I’m eating more. In addition to the snacks I grab throughout the day (anything from apples to Oreos to cheese to yogurt).

I never know when the hunger is going to strike, so Tom and I will be out running errands and suddenly I will say I’M HUNGRY, then point to a place as we’re driving by that sounds good (last week was Crazy Bread from Little Caesars). I have actually now packed a lunch bag with water, fruit, and granola bars to keep in the car for just such emergencies.

And now I have to go find something to eat for my first lunch. 😛
