This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

your brain is fully aware that you can just have two handful of nuts and be good for a couple of hours. Just because your brain also believes that you gotta have a proper meal doesn't matter
I'll see your handfuls of nuts, and raise you a couple spoonfuls of peanut butter.
It's a) relatively cheap b) delicious c) easily edible on the fly with a spoon, time constraints be damned. It serves the purpose quite well, and even throws a bit of sugar in there too.
Not exactly a balanced diet, but it does accomplish the goal reasonably effectively and frequently is already in the house.
Also good when not medically quite at 100% - when not at my best, I do everything I can to follow dr. orders, ofc, but sometimes it's more efficient to throw a tiny bit of sugar at one's brain in a (relatively) healthier way, than to keep fighting it during recovery.
I try to alternate:
I'm basically a gatherer.
I don't have any nuts in the pantry because I don't like them. My brain knows this.
A can of Pringles, whatever
Well thanks to my unhelpful brain I'm losing weight from not eating enough
I saw someone make "mashed potatoes" out of Pringles... seriously wondered why. But they did.
I guess one could but... that just sounds expensive and weird-tasting to me.
did it actually mash?
Yeah it actually did, looked slightly less disgusting than I would have expected it to.
I love that! Thanks for sharing, that's an idea that has never crossed my mind
Procrastinate long enough and you'll still be eating them though. Why? Because you haven't been shopping and it's wayyy easier than cooking -my brain
This is true and also works the other way around. There is no food but i'm too lazy to go on a grocery run. Suddenly more food spawns in my house for 3 more days.
