I think it is pretty typical of me to be hungry first thing in the morning. I say “I think” because this is an assumption I have always made. I have not sat down with this assumption every morning, yet, to see how my body feels. Well, until today. Today I thought about how my body felt, if I was hungry, or if eating left-over pizza was speaking to me more than actually being hungry for it (yes, a decade since college I still enjoy pizza in the morn).
Well, I sat with it for about 90 minutes (sipping my morning tea, reading blogs). And I KEPT thinking about the damn pizza. The pizza continuously called out to me - “Hey, Zmama, you have yummy day old pizza waiting to be eaten! Don’t lose this opportunity!!”. I could feel the fear of losing this wonderful morning treat - even though I am the only one in this family who would even touch the stuff. So, instead of just succumbing to this fear and eating before my body was ready, I sat with this fear and reminded myself several times that the food was going no where. I could enjoy it when I was actually hungry and that eating it before then would be wasteful since I wouldn’t get to truly experience a tasty treat without actually being hungry for one.
Sheesh - that’s a lot of work for left-over pizza. And boy am I jealous of people who this comes naturally to. I really want to be one of those people.
I’m craving pizza now.
That is funny, the part about it being a lot of work for left-over pizza. (I like day old pizza too–I have not had pizza in a while, perhaps I should make one soon).
