I'm starving and out of snacks

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

39 minutes until lunch.

*faints*

1. You sound like my coworker

She's always wanting to go to lunch at 11:30 and I don't start getting hungry till near 1pm generally. You two have hummingbird metabolisms...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

2. My metabolism is through the roof

LostinVA complains about it all the time.

[ThomCat]

3. I was always like that at work.

I would bring food with me and graze throughout the day because I couldn't make it if I had to wait and only eat at lunch time. :(

I don't know how people sit there and go half the day on a cup of coffee!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

5. I do better with snacking than I do with real meals

[datasuspect]

4. your post is insensitive to people who are actually starving

malnutrition is not something to be joked about or taken lightly. even if you're just playing around.

WHO estimates place the number of starving people today to upwards of 666,454,090 in the developing world.

your "hankering" for "snacks" as compared to the actual suffering of people who are literally STARVING TO DEATH defies comprehension. have you no shame?

[redqueen]

6. This post made me hungry.

Seriously... my stomach just growled.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

7. Just so you know, I'm okay now

I picked up a swiss cheese sub and some Starbucks.

[Midlodemocrat]

8. Oh, that sounds good. Starving myself, over here.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

10. Yeah, real thick layer of cheese, piled high with lettuce, tomatoes, onion

some oil and vinegar with some oregano and pepper on top.

And I made sure to get the biggest coffee I could at Starbucks.

12. Holy crap, who brought the flamethrower?

I don't think she literally meant that she was "starving". It's a figure of speech.

I get what you're saying, but I just don't see her post as anything but hyperbole.

[Midlodemocrat]

14. Yes, she did. She is literally starving.

And, I am literally half dead.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

16. I mean, you've seen how little I am

I'm going to waste away.

[nickgutierrez]

17. Between the boxed wine and the perpetual agony of having to listen to the Jonas Brothers...

...I'm not surprised.

:P

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

15. +1

There's a reason I put them on ignore. I'm tired of being followed around and attacked for nothing.

[MrCoffee]

18. I know shit's all emotional right now.

Shit. I know shit's bad right now, with all that starving bullshit, and the dust storms, and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings. But I got a solution

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

20. I really should have brought snacks today

I'm starving again.

[mainegreen]

21. KeeeRist! Should we start a daily mail delivery of snacks to you?

:rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

23. I need a lot of snacks

And I get bitchy when I'm hungry.

[Midlodemocrat]

24. Best part is she weighs all of about 80 pounds soaking wet.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

22. i sincerely doubt you are starving

this child is starving



no laughing matter.

Signs and symptoms

Individuals experiencing starvation lose substantial fat (adipose) and muscle mass as the body breaks down these tissues for energy. Catabolysis is the process (medical condition) of a body breaking down muscles and other tissues in order to keep vital systems working – vital systems such as the nervous system and heart muscle (myocardium). Catabolysis will not begin until there are no usable sources of energy coming into the body. Vitamin deficiency is also a common result of starvation, often resulting in anemia, beriberi, pellagra, and scurvy. These diseases collectively may cause diarrhoea, skin rashes, edema, and heart failure. Individuals are often irritable and lethargic as a result.

Atrophy (wasting away) of the stomach weakens the perception of hunger, since the perception is controlled by the percentage of the stomach that is empty. Victims of starvation are often too weak to sense thirst, and therefore become dehydrated.

All movements become painful due to atrophy of the muscles, and due to dry, cracked skin caused by severe dehydration. With a weakened body, diseases are commonplace. Fungi, for example, often grows under the esophagus, making swallowing unbearably painful.

The energy deficiency inherent in starvation causes fatigue and renders the victim more apathetic over time. Interaction with one's surroundings diminishes as the starving person becomes too weak to move or even eat.

26. Thank you, Captain Inability to Grasp the English Idiom

At least I'm hoping that's it, because otherwise you're acting kind of creepy-stalkerish.

and the treatment of starving people and people with intestinal parasites is atrocious here.

28. I think failure to treat people for mental illness is a serious subject

and people here don't take the issue the way they should.
