The only thing worse than feeling hungry is ALWAYS feeling hungry. Being perpetually hungry is a struggle in itself, but adding the fact that youâre a girl brings a whole new set of issues to the mix. The struggles of a constantly hungry girl are a specific set that, if youâre like me, you unfortunately know all too well.
1. You spend the majority of your money on food.
Food is expensive stuff, and the fact youâre always craving it can take quite the toll on your wallet. At the same time, it is just too easy to drop bank on a delicious poutine or burger when itâs staring you in the face.
2. You eat until youâre full, and then some.
The âwait 20 minutesâ before eating rule is basically non-existent. The fact that youâre full does not correlate with the idea that youâre done eating. The meal doesnât stop when youâre full, it stops when, a) the food is gone, or b) you hate yourself.
3. Youâre known as the hungry friend.
Everyone who even remotely knows you, knows you love food. There are always jokes and comments about how much you eat, but you can own the title just as well as you can kill a bag of Doritos.Â
4. You have to budget more time in your day for meals and snacks.
Because youâre hungry more often than everyone else, you need more time to satisfy your stomachâs demands.
5. Missing a meal is pretty much torture.
Â
Extra-hungry is not a mood you like to be in. It is not fun for anyone. Youâre irritable, salty, and canât talk or think about anything other than where your next meal is coming from, and when you can get your hands on it.
6. Choosing meals on dates can beâŠdifficult.
Do you show him/her the true power of your hunger on the first date or is that moving too quickly? What if they insist on paying for everything, making you feel bad for ordering your usual app-dinner-dessert combo? What if the server automatically assumes you ordered the lighter meal? *shudders*
7. Youâre always eating from you S.Oâs plate.
They already know that when they introduce food into the mix, you canât help yourself. When they voluntarily bring their snack around you, try as you may to resist, theyâre going to end up with half as much food as they started with. And if they try to keep their food from you, youâre probably going to hold a grudge about it.
8. Actually, you eat off everyoneâs plate.
Parents, siblings, friends, and people you just met? Yup. Once you know their names, youâre eligible to ask for a bite of what theyâre eating.Â
