my head is weird about food, idek

Mar 03, 2012 14:19

I have a problem with spending money on food. It is really hard for me to do. I just see it as such a huge waste of money because, as I mentioned to revengent once when I was angsting over spending money mother gave me to buy myself dinner, food is transitory. I see no value in spending money on it, unlike with possessions I can hold onto for years ( Read more... )

real life: karingal, personal: i have issues, real life: food

Pffft, I survive almost entirely on toast and ramen and I'm healthy as a ... well, not a horse, as I've friends with horses and they (the horses, not the friends) seem to require the services of a vet quite often.

Annnyway. For me, it's not so much that I don't want to spend money on food as... um, I'm just too lazy to actually cook anything. And you know, you can do a lot with toast.

We are the same! I am just now coming round to buying clothes with my own money, but I fill like since food was always just given to me I don't understand the idea of buying it with my own money. When I'm forced to feed myself I often try and figure out how long I can go without eating, and what's the cheapest thing I can buy.

Ohai thar, brain twin!

since food was always just given to me I don't understand the idea of buying it with my own money.

EXACTLY. You've hit it right on the nail the nail on the head. I know all the reasons I should be grown-up and independent and practical, but in my heart, I'm still that little girl whose mother has always bought her 'the necessities' and it pains me to spend money on things that I've come to expect as a part of life!

(I made the mistake of sharing this observation with mother, who promptly offered to stop buying me things altogether if I felt that it was warping my ability to spend money on food and such. So I begged her to develop temporary amnesia relating to that convo, lol)

I do feel like I'm extraordinarily lucky that it's been- god, seven months and I'm only just reaching the point where I have to start providing for myself. That's pretty amazing of the universe to make it easy on me this far. But yeah, I'm gonna be figuring out how far I can stretch a dollar and how long something can last me so I don ( ... )

YOU KNOW MY THOUGHTS ON THIS. Although I've started to have to buy better food, because my body could not handle one meal a day that was ramen noodles or something other horrible for you food. My stomach like, retaliates now. Ugh. But I still feel bad when I buy it. To me, $6 is A LOT to spend on food. I was just buying tea and a scone to last me through the day (until I could go home and eat/I met my mom and she got me food), but I began to feel ill after doing that 4 days a week for a couple of months. Oops.

borg_princess March 5 2012, 10:55:08 UTC

I FELT SILLY POSTING THIS, BUT DID SO ANYWAY BECAUSE I KNEW AT LEAST YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND AND HAVE MY BACK ON THIS.

Aww, bb, I'm so sorry your body's betraying you. >_< Noodles used to be my go-to as well, I survived on those for several months myself as well. It'd suck to have one's stomach reject that now. *squishes you*

I still feel bad when I buy it. To me, $6 is A LOT to spend on food.

I KNOOOOW. That $6 has so much potential and then to limit it to a food item that's gonna be consumed and gone is just...gah! I both love and do not comprehend how much can spend that much on getting iced coffee and other drinks. Whenever we go shopping, pretty much, we'll go to a cafe and have something to drink and it blows my mind that she can so casually shell out that much. FOR A DRINK.

I was just buying tea and a scone to last me through the day (until I could go home and eat/I met my mom and she got me food), but I began to feel ill after doing that 4 days a week for a couple of monthsa) I seriously LOVE that your mind works exactly the ( ... )
