There are days that when I wake up, I want to eat. I don’t mean eat a bagel with cream cheese and I’m set, I mean really EAT.
Days that I don’t want to stop chewing to talk to someone. They may talk to me, and I will answer with head nods, grunts and pointing until they figure out what I’m saying. But to stop and talk… my mouth is already occupied.
Please don’t judge, or mock. It’s an urge. The bottomless pit that is referred to as my stomach goes to great lengths to let me know what it needs. I’ve tried clasping it with my hands, prodding and poking it into submission. It still wants. It’s a necessity.
I’m not much unlike this cow. Eating and chewing and eating again make up a majority of some days. Visitors don’t bother or nudge me away from my food. I just keep eating, keep chewing. Letting them do the talking. I will stare, I’ll smile, I’ll nod. And I’ll eat.
The last time I resembled this bovine creature, I was pregnant. I want to feel that way again.

It is so funny you should mention the amount a pregnant woman eats because I was aware of that, but I had forgotten really HOW MUCH I had eaten! You are right! I would eat while everyone around me talked, and I remember getting annoyed when someone would ask me a question while I was eating since that meant I had to stop to answer them. “How are you feeling?” “Great, until you started asking me questions!”

This would be me…especially at 10:00pm! I am ready to throw down a meal right before bed!!!
Tabitha in Bliss says
I feel like this when I feel stressed. If a baby is what you desire I so wish it for you. 🙂

I TOTALLY understand – it’s getting colder where I am and the colder it gets the more impossible it is to STOP eating! I feel like a waste disposal unit or something. Also – love the pictures of the cow 🙂

Oh I understand you 🙂 cute pictures!
Ryan Ashley Scott says
I don’t see how this eating frenzy and pregnancy are related. Nope, I think it’s just a natural part of being… well, human. Or maybe that’s just me? Still… I’d love to be pregnant again, too. Good luck to you.
Coffee with Cathy says
Tabitha — Only you can give us a new perspective, literally, on cows and at the same time admit to that always-empty feeling we try so hard in so many ways to fill up. Thank you once again for such a thoughtful post.

I hope that you get to feel that way again soon, very soon. And all the other nasty feelings that go along with it. 🙂
