As soon as I decide I’m going to eat (or drink) something, it’s like a physical switch has been flipped…

…It’s like once my body has the idea that I’m gonna ingest something, it suddenly CANNOT wait any more. If anything interrupts or stops me from eating/drinking what I planned (even if it’s just a glass of water), I am like some kind of addict. I get so mad and twitchy and desparate. It’s as though I’ve started something in motion and it has to play out no matter what. I don’t feel in control of myself until I’ve had what I planned, and woe betide anyone who interrupts.

And yet if I hadn’t made that decision, I know I could easily have waited without being the least bit uncomfortable.
