I have another secret to share with the world wide web… another personal truth to release onto the net: \u00c2\u00a0I eat a LOT of food.\u00c2\u00a0 In our society, women are not supposed to eat a lot of food, except when pregnant.\u00c2\u00a0 And, even when pregnant, one’s food consumption is closely monitored and commented upon by health professionals.<\/p>\n
I eat every three hours, and that is at the longest stretch.\u00c2\u00a0 Am I hungry that much?\u00c2\u00a0 Or is it emotional eating?\u00c2\u00a0 I couldn’t tell you.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s a bizarre thing.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t get food hunger pains every three hours; I get cravings for sugar about every three hours.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve been trying to not eat sweets as much.\u00c2\u00a0 So, instead of reaching for a\u00c2\u00a0bowl of ice cream, I have been reaching for a bowl of muesli\u00c2\u00a0or cheese and buttered bread.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Eating every three hours\u00c2\u00a0contains the incredibly painful sugar cravings, but I’m still eating every three hours.<\/p>\n
We have been\u00c2\u00a0exercising at the gym pretty heavily and I still nurse the baby (who, by the way, is officially a toddler now; he walks all the time now), so perhaps I am<\/em> hungry this much.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ll keep the curious informed on whether I gain weight.\u00c2\u00a0 I am actually tracking my weight at the moment as we train for the 5k, so I’ll\u00c2\u00a0post any weight fluctuations.<\/p>\n Understanding one’s body\u00c2\u00a0as it relates to\u00c2\u00a0food is difficult at best in our weight, size, and food obsessed culture.\u00c2\u00a0 I just know that I crave sweets every three hours.\u00c2\u00a0 And, I guess, from there it’s an adventure as I solve the puzzle that is my body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Great Grandpa helping Lily with her new horse on Christmas Day.
