I love food. I really do. But when it comes to meals, I don’t eat very much in one sitting. I’ve never been one for big breakfasts, fancy lunches or large dinners with multiple courses. My breakfast is satisfying if it's a cup of coffee and maybe a yogurt if I’m feeling extra hungry. And this cycle continues every hour or 2 where I feel the need to eat. People think I’m weird but I know there have to be other people out there that spend their days snacking...am I right? Well, here’s some thoughts I have as an avid snacker.
6 a.m. Where’s the coffee? I can’t even think about food before I smell the coffee brewing.
6:45 a.m. chug said cup of coffee and make another cup to go.
7 a.m. *running out the door - okay kinda hungry, I’ll grab that muffin.
8 a.m. hmm I could go for a yogurt now that I’m settled at work.
This counts as a full breakfast now.
Lol, jk. I’ll be ready for some more carbs in a sec.
10:30 a.m I need a granola bar.
Yep, there’s what’s considered a decent breakfast over the course of a few hours.
12 p.m. Lunchtime? OMG. I’m starved. Where’s my sandwich?
But how am I so hungry? I feel like all I’ve done is eat this morning.
1:30 p.m. *Sitting in class minding my own business when my stomach makes the sound of a dying whale*.
Buy why? This makes no sense. It’s like I’m a bottomless pit.
3 p.m. Work time-snack-time...What's in the snack drawer?
Ohh goldfish, pretzels, cookies, popcorn. We should really invest in some fruits.
One time we made a pan of Rice Krispie treats just for a homework snack.
7 p.m. And then what did I have for dinner? Some sushi from Fred Meyer and more rice crispy treats.
Wash it down with wine and it’s a well-balanced meal.
11:30 p.m. A bowl of cereal sounds nice…
My tummy is tellin' me yes, but my mind is tellin' me no…Probably going to eat it, though.
It may be weird but I don’t think there is anything wrong with snacking all day long instead of neat concise meals at specific times during the day. While my snack choices could be better, I’m not concerned right now about it. Because what can I say? 12 little meals is waaay better than 3 big ones.
