Fighting The Binge
Okay, I really think that I have made a major breakthrough with regards to dietary habits – more so, binge eating or emotional eating. Maybe I’m a bit delusional after that one time I ate 7 of my homemade-brownies in one day, but just let me have this glorious moment for 5 more minutes.
After extensive study and observations on myself (and the people/celebrities around me), I have found that the chief reason most of us eat junk food or just plain overeat is because taste is key, rather than satisfaction. I really mean it. I can’t remember the last time I actually felt truly hungry, and actually ate on the urge of the pure painful grumbling of my stomach. Yes, when I’m hungry my stomach pains immensely and then starts a grumbling competition that sounds like a nagging housewife. We eat because just thinking about what we’re going to gobble makes us hungry. We think about the smell, the taste, the look – maybe even the feel if you’re still single and lonely. So, my genius cure for losing weight and eating the right stuff is: Removing our taste buds. Yes, I’m that delusional.
In the past, the sense of taste for all creatures was necessary to prevent oneself from eating something poisonous or rotten. But let’s face it – today, when food has gotten spoilt in your fridge, you can smell it a mile away. And nobody eats poison anyway. That’s just ludicrous, unless your mother abuses you like that girl in Sixth Sense – then I’m sorry about that…
I only ever dream about that last piece of chocolate cake, or McDonald’s cheeseburger because I know what it tastes like – and unlike oranges, brussel sprouts or other bunny food, it tastes GOOD! Don’t deny it; if your mother has to cook something you absolutely hate, you’d rather make your own DELICIOUSLY tasting sandwich, or you would only have a tiny serving of whatever gross thing it is that she cooked.
Forget weight loss programs, diet pills or intense exercise regimens. My verdict is two things: 1. Permanently burn your taste buds, or go to Doctor Oz or somebody and try to have them removed if that is even humanly possible. 2. Have a healthy exercise routine, and don’t think twice about those last 3 scoops of ice-cream.
When you don’t have taste buds anymore, trust me, you won’t have a problem eating your veggies. You’re welcome Oprah Winfrey.
