What is it about having to stay home more that makes a person eat so much more? Why am I ravenous all the time? I don't usually crave sugars that much I'm more of a carb eater but lately it doesn't matter I want it and I want a lot of it! UG!
I almost don't want to get on the scale because I can feel my clothes are getting more snug. The anxiety and stress of not knowing what is going to happen and trying to figure out the best way to stay safe for now and for the future is scary. I think that is where my hunger is coming from.
I've stopped watching the news several times a day. It's just the same thing over and over, stay at home, wash your hands etc. I've been doing that and most of the people I know are doing the same. I know no one knows how long this is all going to take before we can see our loved ones. I know we are healthy for now and our immediate needs are met with food and shelter. I don't live alone so I'm not that lonely. It's just unsettling.
If you watch any stock markets they are not doing well. People are saying there could be coming food insecurity which we've already had a small taste of with all the people wiping out shelves panic buying. So we are upping our vegetable garden plantings. We are going to plant as much as we can. Flowers will get the boot for this year and our friends the tomato, cucumber, bean, pea and carrot will have to be the greenery in our yard. There will still be some flowers like roses and lavender and some of the bulbs that come up every year but all the rest of the spots that I'd usually put in flowers I'm putting in veggies or herbs.
I'm also starting to take inventory on my jars so we can preserve as much as possible. We do have a freezer but it isn't that big. I only hope that this is just going to be a year we over do the veggies instead of one that we have to actually rely on them or go hungry (I really doubt this but better safe than sorry).
What are you doing to stay secure in this insecure time? Are you saving a bunch of money, growing more veggies, selling off your stocks? Do you feel we need to worry about this? I just don't know but I'm rattled enough to not take any chances.
Stay safe and stay home.
