DON'T FEED ME. None of these sentiments require food. Excess surplus will have to be stored. I will have to make more of us — human shelves in rolls and lumps — to organize the overflow intake. Don't make me do that, please. There are babies to feed, children to squeeze, a husband to kiss. Right now, we don't have a lot of steam to become a storage facility as well.
But when I feel hungry, I will send you a message of emptiness of stomach, dizziness of head, a sensation in your mouth extending into your throat that reads, I NEED FOOD. PLEASE DON'T STARVE ME.
Then, feed me.

My body tells me every morning it's time for my walk/jog - kind of like my dog! I have found through the years that this has eased my anxiety and is the "pill" worth taking every day even though it takes 45-60 minutes per day to swallow!
I always enjoy your column. This is a great reminder that food is not always the answer and that there are so many more things that can stimulate and uplift. Thank you for sharing!
I loved this post on your blog and loved reading it again. A gentle reminder to all of us who don't listen to our bodies.
