Do you ever forget to eat?

[ThankQ]

Let's have a ThankQ thread of lower mass today, hmm?

Do you ever forget to eat? Here it is, 7:18 PM, and just a few minutes ago I realized I'd failed to eat anything today. It happens every now and then. I just get going with what I'm doing and I don't eat.

Sometimes I'll walk about the kitchen, but nothing that I care to eat matches the preperation time I'm willing to offer. So I go back to whatever other room and keep on trucking.

It's not all the time, just every so often. I just forget to eat.

This happen to you?

I forget to eat lunch when I am at work, sometimes. I get so wrapped up in what I'm doing I'll sit there all day and not realize I've just burned through 8 hours without getting up. Oops.

 

[RoJoHen]

Never. My next meal is usually one of the Top 3 things on my mind at all times.

Ditto!

I sometimes miss meals for one reason or another, but I am always aware of it. It doesn't happen on accident.

I lied. I forgot that I ate a small pickle on one of my trips to the fridge.

So, today, I've had 4 cups of coffee and a pickle.

Four Cups of Coffee and a Pickle. Sounds like an indy film starring hip 20-somethings just waiting to be made!

Same here.

Back in college I used to sometimes forget to eat. Nowadays I don't forget so much as not eat. I am lazy and hate to prepare anything so I don't until I feel my blood sugar dropping. For example today I woke up at 9 and didn't eat until 5. Usually I wake up around noon though so it is not such a big gap. I sometimes think this is a sub-conscious trick I play so that I'll get so hungry it will give me an excuse to grab junk food rather than prepare something good for me.

Yep! I am never going to forget

mr trampledamage does though. So I have to remind him how long it's been since he ate.

Sometimes I get so busy that I go the whole day without eating, and sometime around 10:30 or 11:00 PM I'll realize I didn't eat that day.

 

[Kira's Mom]

I forget to eat lunch occasionally. I get so wrapped up in whatever I'm doing- whether it's business or personal- my mind will focus on nothing else, even if I'm hungry!

Usually it is the entire top 3 for me

I sometimes haven't eaten breakfast because I don't feel like it.

 

[Mallory]

I never forget to eat, but I often miss a meal when I've got something more pressing or interesting to do.

One of the reasons that the artist is starving, he's too wrapped up in what he's doing.

Last semester on Tuesdays and Thursdays my ceramics class was at 11:00 and was my last class of the day. I got so wrapped up in what I was doing some days that I'd start to get light-headed and foggy-brained, but would power through it anyway to get more pieces built or glazed or help load the kiln and make sure my pieces got in.

I pretty much fit this description too.

I also have a tendency to eat my first meal of the day at 3pm at times....even when I remember to eat.

 

[Capn Flukie]

^ I almost never eat breakfast, I'm the same way.

 

[nevermore]

All the time. I generally only eat one meal a day anyway, and if I have something else on my mind, I often forget entirely until it's too late to bother.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

No.

Yep.
I think it happens to me so much because of my previous job. When I worked at Dell, I worked 13 hours a day. We'd come in at 10:00 AM and get lunch at 6:45 PM, and I rarely ate breakfast, so I'd get used to long stretches of having no food.

Of course, now that I'm diabetic, I have to be more careful of such things, and always carry a couple pieces of candy in my pocket, just in case.
