My body is being weird.

[vvvexation]

I haven't eaten a damn thing today, and yet I can barely make myself shove food in my mouth. This is unusual, but not terribly so; my appetite's been fairly erratic these days, and it's not surprising that after stuffing myself last night I should be less hungry today, but it is surprising that I'm apparently not at all hungry although I feel I ought to eat.

The problem is, I just don't trust my body to tell me what it needs. I figure I shouldn't go a whole day at a time without eating, and if I don't feel like eating then my body must be giving me the wrong signals...but then I end up being unsure if it's ever giving me the right signals, while at the same time feeling I ought to try and trust my instincts more than I've been doing.

It's very confusing. I have no idea whether I indulge my id too much or not enough.

Doesn't the "eat what's available" strategy only work when you don't have more food around at the moment than you can eat?

My problem, in any case, is more with deciding whether to eat than what to eat.
