My bottomless pit day

Every once in a while, I have one of those days where no matter what or how much I eat, I am hungry.  Yesterday was one of them. [Heavy sigh.] 

Breakfast was typical and I was satiated for a while, but around 10:00 I needed something to get me to lunch.  I drank half of a protein shake that I keep in my work fridge for emergencies or when I fail to plan.  That did the trick.  At 11:00, I had my daily cup o' joe with the usual single serving of sugar-free creamer.  So far, so good.

Nope...only ate 4

Lunch was deelish...a huge salad with Craisins, chopped apples and a handful of roasted almonds.  Yummo.  Half-hour later, however, I was looking for something sweet.  Ate two FiberOne 90 bars, four Tootsie Roll midgees, a banana and nectarine.  No kidding.  Don't know how it all fit in my teeny little pouch.

Fluffernutters hit the spot

I managed to stay busy enough with work stuff to tide me over until I got home.  I started with another banana, then made myself half of a Fluffernutter (and no, I do not dump on Fluff).  I had used all of my points for the day.  Felt full (sort-of), and proceeded to work out in the yard for three hours (good diversion).

Some days that hole can't be filled

At 9:00pm, exhausted and dirty from getting arborvitae in the ground, I needed a "little" something.  I made a single-serving bag of microwave popcorn...tasted good, but I was still hungry.  I ate the last five of my FH's multigrain Fig Newtons, and immediately beat myself up mentally for not trying to fight the hunger harder.

Oh well.  Today is a new day.  I'm doing better.  Feeling satisfied when I eat.  Moving forward, back on track.  Grateful those days don't come too often.

QUESTION:  Do you have those "bottomless pit" days, too?
