"oops i forgot to eat"

people who say this: did you really "forget" to eat? did you make a conscious decision not to eat or to postpone your eating?

food: never forget

I kind of wish I would forget to eat once in a while. As it is, I'm very conscious of mealtimes. I suspect that most people that genuinely forget have irregular schedules.

this is so sad when it happens

I think people sometimes forget to make time to eat which isn't quite the same thing. Nowadays I make a real point of always eating breakfast and lunch on a work day cos I know my head goes to shit if I don't.

I always forget to eat. I hate food. When I was a kid I couldn't wait for the day when we really did eat all our meals in pill form.

i've only ever heard it being used in this manner:

"here's your homework?"

"Sorry I forgot to do it"

"Do you ever forget to eat?"

^^ this is proof that people who "forget" to eat have some sort of disordered relationship with food

i asked this b/c last night at work dinner three out of three female coworkers said that they hadn't eaten anything yet that day (it was dinnertime ) and it was because they "forgot"

i, on the other hand, had eaten breakfast, lunch and a snack

that ^^ was xp

if i'm transcribing, i can get deep into it and before i know it, its almost midnight and i haven't had dinner, and may have forgotten lunch.

those people who have never experienced "oops i forgot to eat" has obviously never played "master league", or recently "become a legend" modes on pro evo soccer

or any of the following games:

civ series
the sims
fantastic contraptions

sorry
no game is going to keep me from my lunch

ken c otm (i guess?)

i do this at least once a week and i don't have a disordered relationship with food. i usually end up making up for it by eating double at night anyway.

My Civ addiction is well-documented but wasting your life playing computer games and snacking like crazy are not exactly strangers to each other.

you genuinely FORGET or just found eating inconvenient and so you skipped?

don't these people have blood sugar levels they have to maintain?

yeah like when i start getting hungry i go oh i should eat but let me finish this homework or note taking or whatever and then the time goes by so it's like oops, i forgot and it's dinner time

maybe that is more of an inconvenience thing

so it's the latter
a decision

your belly is saying one thing, and you're saying another

(note: this is not forgetting!)

i've had a pretty heavy cold for the last few days, all i've managed to eat has been iboprufen, cough sweets and toast. drank gallons of orange squash, tho.

gonna have to eat something substantial because i feel dizzy and weak, but i just really don't feel like eating at all.

the people who "forget to eat" are the same people who bang their head agaisnt the wall in frustration when they can't "decide what to eat"

what is wrong with these people

btw there is an exception for being sick. of course that would affect one's appetite.

i think the only time i have ever forgotten to eat was when i took dayquil b/c of a cold and it was like 3 and i still wasn't hungry. but that was because there's speed in that stuff, not because whoops i forgot to eat (under normal circumstances)

I suspect there's a mentality? personality type? that's more prone to being consumed with an activity or an idea, to the extent that physical demands are only noticed on a really low level and are drowned out by the bigger flow of work.

Most people don't spend very much (if any) time in that mode, though, apart from mad geniuses. And they always seem to end up needing a house-keeper for the everyday stuff, or a friend who stops by and reminds them to bathe.

The rest of us, if we get caught up in something, I suspect are doing exactly what LaLe says: deciding to put off eating til another time.

can i ask why it matters if people want to forget to eat

PEOPLE WHO DON'T THINK ABOUT CORN DOGS ALL THE TIME ARE THE FUCKING ENEMY BRAH

i forget to eat when i start getting hunger pangs way before an actual meal time, eg 10.30 in the morning, and by the time lunchtime rolls around i've basically gotten used to the hunger. it's more b/c i rarely know what the time is though. i don't ever feel like i'm unable to function if i don't eat.

a couple of friends of mine always trot out the "i forgot" line, but generally they're skipping meals on purpose. it's slightly irritating - just admit that you're dieting!

i do this and usually its because i am lazy and i only have crap food left in the house

don't these people have blood sugar levels they have to maintain?

lol other end of the weirdo food delusion spectrum

i think there are two types of people who say they forget to eat:

1. women who don't actually forget, but decide it's better for their figures to not make time for it and don't want to admit that
2. people who play a lot of computer games. after living with three guys who've all simply played through lunch or dinner and only said, "hey, I think I might be hungry" hours later, i really do think they forget. current roommate: "i'm in a lot better mood on weekends now that i've started trying to remember to eat lunch."

I don't understand, jho? Are you saying you don't think blood sugar levels are a consideration in scheduled eating?

oh dear, i am on the "other end" (though i don't know about blood sugar)! i get hungry pretty much every three hours, which is way too often considering the amount & type of food i eat and that i haven't exercised in like two months. it's really annoying at work because i don't have the kind of job where you can take breaks to get coffee or a snack.

my eating schedule towers over my entire day

im saying i think that meal to meal blood sugar maintenance outside of those w/legit medical conditions is a whole fabricated psychological phenomenon

yeah but what if you forget to eat lunch and you eat a 1000 calorie dinner to make up for it AND you are not playing computer games. i guess i never say i forgot to eat though, i just do it and not say anything.

a whole fabricated psychological phenomenon

Is it going to be one of those challopsy days? This is a good thread for it tho probs not what Milkmaid had in mind.

how about not forgetting to eat you aspies

I've gone through exceptionally busy days at work where I'll only realize around 4-5pm that I didn't have lunch. This really only happens when I'm dealing with something unexpected - if I know I've got meetings that won't allow me a lunch break I get incredibly hungry.

I sometimes get mega shakey and light-headed if I'm hungry. I guess that's probably the blood sugar thing. Doesn't happen very often though.

this is a challopsy thread

I like food but sometimes I just don't have an appetite at all and just drink tea all day. I forget to eat because I don't have an appetite so my body forgets to tell me to eat.

Lately I have a proper meal every two or three days, the other days I'm just having toast or soy milk or cereal.

If I'm really concentrated on one specific task (most often video games, but sometimes work (c++ programming)), I sometimes just won't notice that I'm hungry.

It's happening less and less as I get older though.

i don't think i've ever forgotten to eat. the only thing that comes close is when i'm doing something absorbing like editing drum tracks on the computer and i realize i'm really hungry, but don't want to stop. then it's an hour later and i'm like "oh shit i better eat something now."

but usually i'm planning my next meal hours in advance.

this is why i started the thread; three out of three coworkers trotted this one out to somehow make up for the fact that we were eating a gigantic meal?!?!

skipping meals is a terrible way to diet

but usually i'm planning my next meal hours in advance.

i do this before the previous meal is even finished

Well I mean, somewhere in the middle is the fact that most of us eat way more than we need (or way more of some things) so it's not crazy to say that we could prob all eat SMALLER meals or HEALTHIER ones.

But skipping completely is terrible for you in so many ways.

for the most part, aside from the occasional giant burger or whatever, i eat extremely healthy food in normal sized portions.
but I EAT.

so do I (plan the next meal), but there's still been occassions where I truly forgot to eat. Usually it's because I eat work lunches late, and it seems absurd that the human body needs to be stoked so often.

skipping meals implys that theres actually some set time that yr supposed to eat - im not buying - sometimes im real hungry eating all the time sometimes i go days not needing much - it comes in waves

i do this before the previous meal is even finished

props

"no wait, I ate today, didn't I? yeah i totally did. no wait, that was just breakfast and lunch, huh. oh well it's 10 pm, I'm not gonna eat a whole meal now."

i only eat when i'm hungry too
but my body demands food on a regular basis, like a little something (an apple, a yogurt, a carrot, SOMETHING) every few hours or i get spacey and mean.

skipping meals implys that theres actually some set time that yr supposed to eat

7:30AM
10:00AM
12:30PM
3:00PM
6:00PM
9:00PM

everyone is different. like i need 8 hrs of sleep but i don't care if people stay up for 3 days straight

yeah, obviously you shouldn't stuff yourself if you're not hungry. however, w/r/t the people i mentioned, eating or not eating isn't really related to hunger. there's no way to generalize about this topic, though.

I suspect there's a mentality? personality type? that's more prone to being consumed with an activity or an idea, to the extent that physical demands are only noticed on a really low level and are drowned out by the bigger flow of work.

^^^ this and this. I "forget to eat" all the time! It's a shorthand way of saying "I was dimly aware that eating would be a good idea, should really put this track/program/project down and go eat in a minute...and TOTALLY DID NOT REALIZE it had been like four hours since that thought first occurred to me." So the forgetting isn't like, you had no concept whatsoever that you were hungry - it's that you made a vague decision to eat and then totally lost that decision in the shuffle. Suspect the computer gamer thing is about the same.

I'm sorry the OP loathes the monstrous, hateful females who diet on the DL, but whatever your opinions on that it's a separate issue I think from what most people on this thread are talking about.

everyone is different. like i need 8 hrs of sleep but i don't care if people stay up for 3 days straight

i care. i wouldn't hang out with anyone who stays up for 3 days straight.

i eat something when i get up (7:30ish), early lunch (11:00 - 11:30ish), little snack around 3:00, dinner around 6:30-7:00. so yeah, basically every 4 hours.

i don't either but they are certainly free to do it xp

skipping meals implys that theres actually some set time that yr supposed to eat

There is!! That set time is roughly 3 hours from the LAST time you ate something! Oh, I see cutty has that covered (xp).

The feeling of hunger is really subjective and is caused by certain chemicals getting to your brain from your stomach -- which is why things like exercise and smoking and etc etc can suppress appetite: they break the connecting between body chemistry and how you "feel"/experience that chemistry.

So just because you don't FEEL hungry doesn't mean your cells don't need glucose.

― cutty, Monday, December 15, 2008 3:01 PM (10 minutes ago) Bookmark

haha yes, i think it's very grounding! also, if you live with a family or friends, a good social break. i also plan dinners ahead when i go shopping, which gets me thinking days in advance sometimes.

the exception to this thread is skipping breakfast because you overslept. that happens to everyone, if not daily, at least occasionally.

itt thread Americans hi-five each other for eating food
what about my coworkers hi fiving each other for FORGETTING to eat food
how about that

if you don't plan when and where you are going to eat, with consistency, then you end up consuming 1000 calories at 10PM.

and then i don't need to tell you what happens.

Sometimes I forget to stop eating.

xp - exactly
this is why i plan out like the entire week of meals

and why i am never without food
good, healthy food in appropriate portion sizes

in a way, i'm more obsessive about food than they are.

Ordered eating is a huge part of managing depression and blah blah you can fill in the rest. With my friends and boyfriends who have been prone to that stuff, I won't even discuss their problems with them until they have a) slept, b) showered, and b) eaten. It changes yr whole handle on your mental state.

what about my coworkers hi fiving each other for FORGETTING to eat food
how about that

how do they even have the energy to raise their hands if they've skipped their 11:30 bucket of corndogs?!

if you don't plan when and where you are going to eat, with consistency, then you end up consuming 1000 calories at 10PM.

and then i don't need to tell you what happens.

what happens?

i had to hi-five for them

I have a pretty rigid weekday eating schedule that is similarish to cutty's. It gets sorta skewed at the weekend and in the case of ATP the weekend before last I ate basically nothing but toast, crisps and bananas. That was pretty retarded

in a way, i'm more obsessive about food than they are.

You're right! I suggest, though, that you are focused on food as something enjoyable, while people who scorn eating are focused the self-denial aspect as enjoyable. Their ultimate goal may be weight loss/maintenance, but the social cover for that is that it's somehow laudable to be "above" eating. Which is...stupid?

a) slept, b) showered, and b) eaten

showering and eating at the same time, that's a hard ask.

i am glad all these people are concerned about my health, it's really comforting

phbbbbbbbt

what happens?

you become fattey

yes it is
it is stupid

my dad does this too! he doesn't eat all day, turns into a crabby sonofagun and then eats dinner and falls asleep. his belly is large and in tact.

lock thread!!

showering and eating at the same time, that's a hard ask.

pretty sure a can of Holsten is an acceptable substitute for a meal in this case

you become fattey

i am immune to fatteyitis. 1000 calories at 10pm is my kinda meal.

i only 'forget' out of laziness or poverty of available options though. i do loves my proper meals.

where i really take issue w/the omg my blood sugar is crashing must eat now phenomenon is i just have a hard time believing that human physiology is so fragile that it starts malfunctioning if its not plied w/treats every 3 hours- i mean we spent our entire existence more or less grinding for berries and woolly mammoth or whatever on the savanna - dont think there were regular mealtimes then

and this is gonna seem way challopsy but theres major personality and gender patterns as far as the type of people who complain abt low blood sugar - particularly the i get mean if i dont eat phenomenon is super self indulgent - way to excuse yr inconsiderate behavior

now obv not eating can stress yr system - but a lot of this behavior is extreme sensitivity elevated to an art form

truth bombe

Jho you can SURVIVE on less food/less frequent eating, but I don't think any of us would settle for "survival" conditions in other parts of our lives. You can survive in a 50-degree apartment, too, but NYC has legislated against it for good reason.

the problem is our society is filled with people who DON'T KNOW HOW to eat properly.

to those who forgot to eat, we are better then you

yeah but what if i decide that survival is enough for me at certain times??? 50-degree apt metaphor is inapposite because that is more about systematic landlord assholism and general public health

nb i generally eat more and healthier than anyone i know but this is stupid

yes, it's reprehensible behavior. grow up and remember to eat. what are you in LOL college?

braggin about starvation is also stupid

that wasn't directed at you harbs

my autonomy is being compromised by this thread

haha yes beer in the shower is an established practice (major xpost)

general public health

IF WE SAW FOOD PRODUCTION, AVAILABILITY, AND EATING AS PUBLIC HEALTH MATTERS, WE WOULD BE ABOUT 500X BETTER OFF. Because it IS a matter of general public health.

i agree my cave man example breaks down on that level - i guess the question is where is the line between psychological discomfort and actually physical deprivation - i have a hard time believing its at three hours is all

to those who may take some form of medication that effects their appetite, we are better then you

what i didn't know these horrible people this thread was about forgot to eat because food was not available to them at the time??? i gotta go

my understanding is that not eating makes your body go into preservation mode and your metabolism drops, which is obv. not good if you're going to eat a huge meal that night and if you don't want to get fattey, right?

xp

^^^ yes

as opposed to constantly feeding it 300 calories every 3 hours which sets your metabolism ablaze

FEED THE FIRE

I have:

Genuinely forgotten to eat (this happens more on weekends when lunch is not also a break from working or some week nights when things are just crazy and suddenly it is 9 pm and I realizing I'm starving, grumpy, and kind of shaky or when I go out for drinks right after work and don't make eating something a priority).
Failed to make time to eat.
Opted not to eat a meal because doing so was an inconvenience.

But:
This doesn't happen very often because if I don't eat I will get the shakes/get really grumpy/get confused/cry.
Historically I have a less than healthy relationship with food, so eating regular meals is key to mental happiness.
I like eating. It's fun.

when i was trying to loose weight i tried diff approaches to eating times - and the eating when yr hungry and actually letting yrself get hungry worked better for me than the eat regularly particularly breakfast to kick start yr metabolism version

but i do for the most part avoid the over eating that comes w/getting hungry - tho not always

obv i never tried any of it w/super strong discipline tho

Also I'm already happy fattey so I am self-excused from worrying about eating at certain times or in certain ways or certain amounts since my goal is "satisfied and energized" and not like OPTIMAL CALORIC OPTIMIZATION or something.

wait, you're supposed to eat every 3 hours?

a typical work day for me is getting up at 7:30, not eating anything until lunch around noon, then not eating anything until supper at 7:30. Occasionally I'll have a snack or something around 4:00. I know I should eat breakfast and I've made some attempts at doing it regularly in the past, but I just don't like eating early in the morning.

eating when yr hungry and actually letting yrself get hungry

Some of my MOST satisfying eating comes after a really big energy expenditure, usually sustained exercise of some kind. Which also suppresses appetite, so if I don't MAKE A POINT of re-fueling, I won't feel "hungry" enough to eat what I need. But it's like as soon as that first bite hits, it tastes AMAZING and my cells go CRAZY putting that energy back out, and my body temperature goes up and I feel human again, whereas before I had no idea how BAD I felt because brain chemistry was covering it up.

The other half forgets to eat all the time. I badger him into eating sometimes because otherwise he gets dizzy/mopey/anxious.

I have forgotten to go to bed because of Civ many a time, but I could never forget to eat (cz I am a fattey and [convince myself] I'm hungry well before every mealtime and generally don't have the willpower to leave it more than half an hour without acting on it).

Also it has been many years since I was sufficiently wrapped up in a pursuit not to be distracted by, say, alt-tabbing every 30 seconds, checking all my email, reading ILX, eating crisps.

I wish neither of these were true, so not gonna comment on meal-forgetters because it's all just envy (meal-skipping is not particularly healthy, but my everyday diet is worse, so...).

^^^yup, totally

xp

i will have eaten my lunch before noon today, you can bet your fucking house on that. i get in to work between 7.30am and 8.00am so my rationalization is that i'm an hour ahead of the day. in the afternoon, if i'm not too busy i will wander out to get a snack. if i am too busy, i'll get a 50c bag of Funyuns on the way home around 5.00pm. it's a good life.

also, Funyuns.

I had a Hula Hoop on Sat. It was disgusting.

oh, the i-dont-eat-breakfast people.

a what? is that like a giant funyun?

anyway, i do not scorn people for having different appetites and listening to their bodies. i just think it's stupid to laud oneself for deprivation and/or scorn me for eating regularly scheduled healthy meals.

hula hoops are british crisps, in a hoop shape. the beef flavour is the king of the hula hoops. Funyuns are better tho.

Right...effects of food on mood, good to be aware of. I turn into a raging bitch on days when there are 8-9 hours between lunch and dinner and I don't have time to snack at work. I wish my roommates who get home earlier than me on those regularly scheduled days would think "hey maybe it's my turn to cook dinner, so when my hungry roommate gets home she won't bite my head off for not doing my share of cooking and shopping," but somehow that almost never happens. And then we have spaghetti.

oh, the i-dont-eat-breakfast people.

u know dude yr attitude on this thread is why people are always eye rolling at fitness freaks - its great that youve found something you find fulfilling and i totally understand the appeal of this particular discipline - but you have not discovered the key to life here

for the most part, aside from the occasional giant burger or whatever, i eat extremely healthy food in normal sized portions.
but I EAT.

do you want a medal or something? people who make a big f'ing deal about how they "forgot" to eat 24/7 are obnoxious but you're coming across as a huge pill every time someone's challenged your opinion that this is impossible to actually do and everyone who does so is clearly some kind of anorexic. OMG YOU EAT MORE THAN OTHER PPL -- good job??

also as someone with massive blood sugar problems -- jhosh is totally right. also, if you are truly having some kind of blood sugar episode, in my experience it is better to drink juice than try to shovel food down your gullet (works faster!)

also, everyone is different cutty. if i ate every 3 hours i'd become sick and exhausted.

some of you seriously need to mind your own business.

post here every time you eat something

thanks for the smackdown

everyone's the best at everything

I will never apologize for late-night take-out -- I spent ALL AFTERNOON yesterday craving sleep and nourishment, and instead of staying home and happily entering a food coma in my bed, I got fancied up and went to Christmas parties and did the guest thing. When I got home at 10.30 with Chinese food, it was the ONE THING I'd been wanting for the last 10 hours.

*rolls eyes at self righteous angry man*

you know, Funyuns should come in different flavors of onion. like, regular yellow onion, then red onion, spanish onion, scallion, shallot, maybe caramelized onion. i would conservatively estimate that my Funyun intake would double if they added some new varieties.

today i am hungry tho and am going to the Poutinerie for lunch, wooo!

i just ate a bowl of oatmeal w/whole milk yogurt butter and brown sugar and a juice orange sliced into sections for breakfast

was pretty disappointed w/ Poutine when we went to Montreal tbh. those curd things suck. if it was actual cheese i would've liked it more.

that is actual cheese. nothing is worse than poutine with shredded cheddar instead of curds. blugh. if they squeek - you know they're fresh!

worst poutine i ever had was at a hotel restaurant in Montreal. they did the shredded cheese thing - which kind of merged with the gravy to make this awful swampy ooze - it was so gross.

I forget to eat all the time, it's all about some sort of disconnect between the sensation of hunger and the realization that it's why my stomach hurts/I'm pissy/I've got the melody to "Let's Go Food" stuck in my head.

on a policy level food is super interesting -- gee why do we have hundreds of millions of ppl subsisting on factory beef and fake carbs -- but on a personal level food occupies very little of my mind and i like it that way

eat this, bozos

this thread is ugh

i agree with ally most

this is like when my sister gets mad at me because i dont like to eat snacks

quiche is amazing. i got some pie crust and eggs and vegetables last week and i was all ready to make some, and then i read the recipe and realized i needed evaporated milk, regular milk, and more cheese than was in the house. DAMN!

so did you just forget about it?

I'd always "forget" to eat when I didn't have enough "money" to buy "food."

"ooops"

gay snacks

i forgot we had leftover pizza that i could've had for breakfast this morning. guess what? forgetting to eat leftover pizza for breakfast = leftover pizza for snack later, so i win. unless erica has eaten it i guess.

It's also easy to forget to eat when you are on a very long drive. Somehow driving/passenging in your own little car makes it so you never ever feel hungry. (Thirsty, yes, hungry, not really.) BUT when you get out of the car and eat (ie not fast food, like some situation where you are eating while not driving) damn, you realize you were starving and the food feels so nice.

did i forget about the quiche? yeah. i'd just returned from the only store big enough to sell evaporated milk, which is a 20 minute walk away, so i put the pie crust in the freezer and we used the eggs and vegetables for other meals.

abbott, i've noticed that i don't get hungry when i'm on long drives, too. i guess it's so much more sedentary than normal life, it takes a couple hours longer to digest food. there are always lots of coffee stops, though!

I don't think I forget to eat. But I don't have any schedule for eating. So if I miss a few meals in a row, I don't consider it that I've forgotten. I've simply neglected. To forget to eat, it seems to me that you need to have had an intention to eat at a particular time, and then you forgot. If you don't have that intention, you can't forget to do it.

(Similarly, I've never forgotten to sleep. I've just neglected to do so. Like last night.)

im eating again - 2 quesadillas w/ avocado n sour cream and baby carrots

you eat too much dairy

u so bossy

he was the first girl to scream on a track

it's only 1:10 and you've already consumed whole milk, yogurt, butter, sour cream, and whatever cheese is in that quesadilla

also your name is ice craem

i <3 dairy

(it was munster)

I'm in line at chipotle............. Worried I'm going to forget to order............... And eat

come on, dairy is the best food group

yeah, fat is the best

oh man how much fun would that poll be

worked for the mongols xp

fat is important, btw

CUTTY YOU ARE REALLY ANNOYING ON THIS THREAD

MIND YOUR OWN FOOD BUSINESS

in Cutty's defense, he did make an excellent point about fat being the best

mandee obviously this is a sensitive issue for you.

i read that as sarcasm (xpost)

i once opened someone else's dairy by accident and she went apeshit.

ilx obviously this is a sensitive issue for you

guys; i just ate a pulled-pork poutine.
fat is the best.

xp - esp considering that like 99% of threads fall under the "none of yo business/you're being histrionic" umbrella

haha mandee dont u know that cutty has 4 obsessions: his bike, indie rock, smokin pot, and how unhealthy everyone besides him is

went away to a friend's highland cottage a couple of weeks ago, some tinned confit de canard was cooked. large quantities of duck fat left in the tin, i was spreading that shit on toast like nobodies business.

wow im shocked to hear myself say this but thats actually a little gross - tho duck fat is a+ for cooking

i'm really not obsessed with how unhealthy other people are, and i'd never truly tell someone what to eat or not to eat.

but start a thread on it and i'll be sure to share my challops with you.

my challops let me show u them

challops w cheese

haha

yeah i just remembered to eat bread w/cheddar and pesto on it

wtf is a challop anyway?

it's a scallop that has a high concentration of omega 3's. i like to eat them with flax seeds.

oh i thought it was some kind of weird internet joke.

i have to go to the PO at around 3pm so i am getting ready to remember to buy some kind of snack. prob not Funyons tho because the store near the PO doesn't sell them. no corndogs either.

lol

oops, i forgot to not eat

so, in the end i got sweet onion kettle chips. were they as good as Funyuns? i'm not going to lie to you. but they were decent i suppose. was hoping there would be some of the mini Health bars left but no dice.

every animal handles foods differently. i am pretty certain though, that most rats can handle many kinds of foods, but when you say funyuns it all depends on how many the rat ate. if after a week there doesn't seem to be a difference in his appetite or his poop (color) there is a big chance he wil be fun

"there is a big chance he wil be fun"

funyuns make you fun! or dead!

it's a chance i'm willing to take

rats should have an immunity to funyun poisoning at this point, no?

i'm rather surprised that's all it took. i thought rats were tough and shit.

Too bad the rat didn't forget to eat.

i don't want to forget to eat, but yeah, it's like okay, i know i'm hungry, i should eat, what do i eat, where is the food - and then i'm too rushed or busy to answer those questions and get involved in work or whatever too much and then am basically spun out on low blood sugar, yeah, forgetting to eat. which is awful and basically why i have a box of granola bars in my desk. it's easy to forget abt food when it is really not as interesting as other things.

Ditto.

Sometimes I literally forget to eat, in the "oh man it's already TEN-THIRTY? when did that happen" kind of way. But mostly I'm just too occupied, too far from food, and not hungry enough to take care of business. I don't think this is disordered -- it possibly just says that you either snack a lot or that your body can go a decent while without a real meal.

One day last week I "forgot" to eat anything until about 8pm, and even then I only ate dinner because it seemed like something I should do.

what it says is that i am skinny.

xpost

yeah for me it's always just a function of being too busy -- not so much "forgetting" as delaying over and over until it suddenly occurs to me i haven't eaten all day. these days this is usually a function of parenting duties.

xpost - Yeah, living someplace where I remember to eat has already added an inch to my waist size.

But honestly I think the "remember" in that sentence is faulty -- it's not remembering, half the time it's eating more and more often than my body really demands. (Also drinking like a half-gallon of grapefruit juice a day, I don't think that's helping.)

I'm only allowed to take my lunch between 12pm and 3pm, and I tend to lean towards the 3pm side. So, when I get really into something I'm working on I forget to eat lunch. This combined with my conscious decision to sleep through breakfast = multiple "forgettings to eat" per week. The more I do it the more my body gets used to it and it's easier to "forget" in the future.

omg thread so long, me so lazy.

i can be anal-retentive about planning things in advance, so if i know i'm going to be working for a long time on a project, i make sure to eat beforehand, or bring a snack, or schedule a break during project time where i can go have a bite to eat and stretch my legs. even if i'm not hungry, thinking about the logistics of mealtime can be distracting when i need to focus on something else, so i just figure it out beforehand and put it out of my mind.

today i guess i "forgot" to eat b/c i had a very early breakfast, got on a plane, fell asleep for most of the ride, landed two hours late but gained three hours because of time difference, waited forever at the baggage claim, rode several miles to drop my stuff off at home, and finally ate again at around 7pm pacific time. i should have planned to bring lunch. but i did make a point of eating breakfast when i knew a long stressful day was ahead.

also regarding this, with my ADD i need to take breaks... i can never really woodshed uninterrupted for several hours at a time. i start to burn out. so if i can get up and go have a snickers bar, i'll be raring to go when i get back.

Wasabi Funyons? Now that is what I am goddam talking about! Must. Find. Now.

Seriously, though, are they any good?

they are obsolete

so much for my dream

It happens. But only since having two kids. Life becomes very busy.

I sometimes forget to eat because I'm not hungry.

Since I started working in a restaurant again I very rarely eat actual meals...I just sort of graze/taste all day at work then snack on things when I'm hungry in my free time. Full-on meals are almost an extravagance right now.

I guess there could be a debate though over whether sandwiches count as meals or snacks.

I can't think of a time where me forgetting to eat has been a conscious decision not to eat; it is always because eating is a lower priority to whatever task I'm currently focusing on. I regularly don't each lunch until around 3:30 because of this.

Basically, I don't notice I am hungry until:

a) I have finished whatever I was concentrating on; or
b) I get really fucking hungry.

Until one of those two conditions is met, eating is nowhere near my radar.

Once upon a time I would specifically skip meals before drinking because I wanted to get more drunk for less $$$$. ha.

i have intentionally been eating well today so i have a good base for the company christmas party. yay free booze!

i think we've all done this

xp

I forget to eat the salt I put on my tips while throwing them out of a car window.

i never forget to eat, but i'm a bit of a "couple small meals a day" person. example:

- small bowl of granola w/ milk and a coffee.
- a can of chicken soup
- 1/2 two-slice ham sandwich
- salad and an inordinate number of olives
- approximately 6 beers.

that's a typical day.

i'm going to not forget to eat right now

Same here. And rather than risk forgetting, I'm going back for seconds.

i am not gonna start reading all of this thread now, but i wanted to say that this week so far i have eaten six chili dogs (since sunday night.)

wait, seven chili dogs.

You done good, son.

Jordan, a friend and I have discussed how one of the things that we like about you is your appetite.

"a friend"?

damning by faint praise

i was a little disappointed when i went out to lunch w/ian that he just ate normal quantities

My roommates are driving me crazy by clearly not forgetting to eat and "forgetting" to do anything about the dishes they leave behind. If I were living alone, I'd do that too, but I feel like the standards are higher when you live with others and it's turning me into a crazy kitchen vigilante constantly choosing between passivity (doing everyone's dishes), passive aggression (selectively leaving them in the sink as long as I can stand), and aggression (wash your damn dishes, people!).

ok sorry that went longer than was appropriate for this thread

this thread has reminded me to eat twice since it started.

tl;dr but sometimes i forgot i ate and eat again. zat count? anybody made that joke yet?

"oops i forgot to laugh"

thx jesse, i'm a very good eater.

Just to throw this out there, I don't "forget to eat" per se. It's just that (say) I'll start the day hungry, maybe grab some lunch when it starts to affect my mood, and then decide whether or not to eat dinner based on how I'm feeling when I get home. On average I eat two meals a day, sometimes it's just one with some snacks throughout.

I don't necessarily stay hungry enough to eat 3 meals a day.

me t(h)oo(s)

fuck you skinny people

Don't even talk, man, I had to go out and buy fat pants the other day

you don't stay hungry enough because you've srsly fucked your metabolism with your eating habits

Yah for real I've started going to the gym again cause I'm right at my "I will stay below this #" weight for 2008 and I'm not gonna get skinnier over the holidays.

that was an xp

I totally just forgot to eat dinner, literally. Friend came round at 6pm then went out for drink like an hour later then came back by 9 and just tinkered around and chatted and now it's nearly eleven and I was halfway through a box of chocolates before remembering.
