Note: I didn't put this in the eating disorder forum because a) I don't have an ED and b) I would rather not trigger/insult anyone who does suffer in that way.

So i've had the thoughts for quite a while now, but what are thoughts without action? I'm honestly so sick of the way food is such a "main stream" part of life. Birthday - cake/icecream, Movies - popcorn, Wedding - reception, Thanksgiving - food, Fourth of July - Bbq, First Date - dinner, just ugh. Food food food.

I'm so sick of waking up, fixing breakfast (i rarely eat breakfast though), figuring out whats for lunch, buying lunch, turning around and getting the kids a snack for afterschool or whatever the case, thinking about whats for dinner, shopping for some missing ingredient, fixing dinner for everyone (including fixing the plates for everyone), eating, putting the dishes up. Maybe incorporate some kind of dessert. Like - I'm just sick of food. I feel like I'm wasting so much of my life thinking about food. Who knows what I could have done with the amount of time, energy and brain cells spent on planning meal after meal after meal.

I want to learn how to live a 'minimalistic' life when it comes to food (but also in general). Like, how do you know when you are genuinely physically hungry and not just eating out of boredom or routine??? I'm just sick of food. Period.

I literally sat in my room for a while tonight writing an essay about how the world would be different if everyone ate solely for the purpose of sustaining life and never past the point of satiation. The thoughts are clearly consuming me today. Food is literally beginning to suck the life out of me.
