WHY am I hungry?!

- a medium sized packet of chips (250g)
- 2 apples
- Most of a diet shepherd's pie bowl that my niece didn't want (About 200g)
- A fair handful of those lovely eggy waffly crackers with about sixty grams of that lovely parmesan/cashew/basil dip by Wattle Bridge
- A bowl of salad
- A small bowl of icecream
I don't know why I'm still hungry. :( I think my body, being as cold as it is, thinks "Time to BLUBBER up!" and is urging me to gain layers of fat for the winter. No. No, body! We have clothes for this! I did not go walking two kilometres today for you to screw it all up by eating all the pesto dip in one sitting and gorging yourself on chocolate! I will allow a sandwich or two - no more!
Oh, and I read on the side of a weet bix box that we're allowed to have about 8000kj a day. I'm like, WHAT?! Okay, when I made that mud cake and was eating a bit a day, sure, I might have JUST met that amount. But generally I barely tip 7000. Three meals a day, all of those 1500-2100kj worth. My worst sin is chocolate. When I have chocolate, then I probably tip the limit.
I have to wonder if that's the kj amount for someone other than me. It's hard to average these things because humans vary so much. I'm sure there are things that I eat that wouldn't cause a lick of difference on one of those awesome skinny chicks that can eat loads, or things that I eat that might cause others to balloon.
I'm going to try to eat something healthy that'll fill my guts. Wish me luck!
