The eating dinner with family, seeking out your H to cuddle. I understand you comments on hunger and feelings for different reasons. I have always been hungry going back to my preteens. I could eat more then grown hardworking men as a early teen. Its so constant and pervasive that I am immune to it. Make sense?
I just eat. It is just a function now. When I get distracted, with work, study, whatever I will go without it, even though for me it is a real need. My x would get cranky if she missed one meal or it was not at the normal time. I have skipped eating for a couple days when I get engrossed in my studies. LOL. I think that was one of the reasons I fell for my PA, she alwasy made sure I had food, because I would have wasted away running around doing my thing on the set. She and my x also got some kind of enjoyment out of watching me wolf food down, making it disappear like a majic trick. What is that?
I wonder if you havent been ignoring, denying, eradicating your needs so long that you dont know how to feel them properly. You have to see other people doing them here, and it jogs something with you.
anyways food for thougt. I have some other thougts for you and LFL, that GEL and HP seem to be 'getting' slowly maybe, now if I can just enunciate (articulate) them clearly.
