A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

My hunger response is all messed up; exceedingly slow to satiation, hungry almost immediately after. I'm basically always hungry even sometimes getting hunger pangs that are physically painful and come with nausea; not eating for even around like 12-16 hours would sometimes cause me to gag and to feel like I needed to throw up. Changing some dietary things has helped, but I'm still almost always hungry and never stay full long.

Even as little as a year ago, I could put away a large pizza, some ice cream, a meal from McD's, and more in one day and still be hungry. I probably still could if not for ending up needing to cut gluten (one of the things that seems to have helped). By BMI I'm right on the border between overweight and obese and dropping (I will probably be just 'overweight' in mid-Feb 2025 or so).

Says food is not satiating, always hungry -> proceeds to say they could keep eating unhealthy processed foods designed to make you crave more..

It's agonizing being hungry constantly. I know I don't need to eat. But my body is screaming at me it wants to eat and it's infuriating.
