Food Fetish

I recently read a blog post where the author lamented he had forgotten to eat.
Forgotten?
Really?
Honestly, even when I wasn’t eating (as in anorexic or, at other times, EDNOS), I never forgot about food. I might have been restricting, but the thought of food never left my mind.
Incidentally, I just ate something right before I typed this post. And although I’m sated, I’m still thinking about food and when I’ll be able to eat again. I could no more forget to eat than forget to breathe. So that whole phenomenon is fascinating to me.
Have you ever sincerely forgotten to eat? What does it feel like?
I have trouble picturing myself looking at the clock and thinking, “Wow! It’s midnight and I never touched any food!” unless I was in a state of shock or very, very ill.
Honestly, I have never “forgotten” to eat. I might not have gotten around to it as quickly as I would have liked, but that makes it all the more cognizant in my mind, not forgotten.
I have, however, forgotten to go the bathroom. As in, started to head to the loo, got distracted, and then hours later, when I finally get there and my pee is like a tsunami, been like, oh yeah, I meant to do this hours ago.
TMI? Sorry.
ha, you crack me up! I can see that I’ll be visiting you often (just found you through the F-word)
