Gleeful Gluttony

Have you ever felt a hunger so intense it may seem close to being insatiable?
Felt like you have the capacity to consume everything on Earth and still be hungry enough to scan the universe for more? 


I can't cook for the life of me! However, I am mighty pleased with the progress I have made in recent times. I can now successfully make palatable tea and Maggi :D. This isn't enough to satisfy the demands of my stomach, nevertheless.


On certain days, life is all about eating. Those are the days when you compare yourself to an animal, where the sole purpose of your existence is to fulfil your gastronomical needs. 


Here is how my schedule goes:
7am:  Mom, where's my breakfast?
11am: What if I get hungry in class? I should have a pre-lunch snack.
1pm: MOOOM! LUNCH! FEED ME, I'M STARVING.
3pm: It's been 2 hours since I ate I guess its okay to have a post-lunch snack.
5pm: Every evening calls for a snack :')
8pm: MOM! What's for dinner?
12pm: Its a brand new day! Let's celebrate it with a snack.


My hunger is at its peak when I'm studying. The only thing to look forward during a study session is food. That's the time you feel that your brain will stop functioning if you don't have food in your mouth. 


Another annoying habit : Study for an hour. Walk to kitchen. Open the fridge door. Check for food. Go back to studying. Repeat the same procedure and be disappointed by the fact that no new food has magically appeared in the past hour. 


Also, the "Single on Valentine's Day Dilemma" : This Valentine's, we've decided to change the adage from "I'm single and ready to mingle" to "I'm single and looking for a Pringle"


The "Meme Obsessed and Hungry" syndrome : I'm going to ask the MemeBase to make a "Forever Hungry" meme with my face.




The "Eager Waiter": You're at a restaurant and you're hungry. You've placed your order. Now you gawk expectantly at every waiter who passes by with food in his hand hoping your turn has arrived.


The "Food Hider" condition: My favourite food! There are hardly any of these left! What if someone eats them? Let me hide it in a secret location and no one needs to know. 


The "I'm possessive about my food" infirmity: Yes, I know I offered you a bite. But that's just out of courtesy. It doesn't give you ANY right to take the first bite. Nor does it give you the right to take any more bites! Take one more and I'll bite your head off. 



"Share hunger on Facebook" disorder: Oh god I'm so hungry! Let me make a Facebook group about how much I love food and see how many people share the same sentiments!

"There's no food in the house" disaster: Earthquake, I can handle that. Tsunami, bring it on! Tornado, does that sound like Cornetto to you?
Theres no food in the house, DISASTER! God, what did I ever do to you to make me see this dreadful day?


And finally, this one's for me :),
The "Incessantly Hungry Blogger": I love food so much. Let me blog about it and let people know!


If you've read this post you may think I weigh a 100 kilograms. Not even close, but I'm getting there. 
I'm going to sign off now, all this food-centric writing has made me hungry again!
