I tend to clean. I do things for immediate gratification. Eating has not been one of my urges to satisfy immediate anything except hunger. My eating habits when I'm depressed (which is rare but when it is there it is huge) don't change.
I go visit my gal friend several times a week; she usually has a little treat for me then I take her cat Hunter out for a stroll around. Makes me feel good. She is not very agile because of a disability.
You mentioned in a previous post that you lived in a northern state until you signed up for Marines boot camp in southern California and are intent on spending rest of your days in the warmer climes. Would suggest you may have been a somewhat bit malcontent with e extreme cold , snow, and all that wintry stuff?
Ok, now I see your point; thank you for clarifying. I didn't put the three things together, the question about depression, my answer about not ever having had it, and your comment about me living in the south.
I was not depressed living in cold, snowy weather because it was my paradigm. I was born and raised in that climate, so I had no other first-hand experience from which to draw or to which I could compare. It's true that we went on a family vacation in other places once or twice, but that was always in the summertime during school break, so it was hot weather anyway. Unlike people who live in a place like Seattle, which is known for general depression, I didn't go through that. Then, once I enlisted in the Corps, it wasn't just the fact that I was in California, Hawaii, and all over tropical Pacific countries, it was also the fact that I spent years there. The extended period of time without snow was what caused the paradigm shift, and what made me decide to never return to living in the cold. ~
All right. I been living in Vancouver for last 30 years, warmest part of Canada -prefer here than the prairies anyway. Getting a bit more sensitive to the cold dampness in my old age though. Spent too much time outdoors last week, couldn't get warmed up even while being active. In hospital since Saturday with mild case of pneumonia. Bummer. Probably be out today.
Thought maybe you had come from Alaska where they do get winters.

Neither. At 23 I ceased eating due to depression and apathy, but my weight dropped to almost anorexic. Health professionals warned me, and since then I have taken care to eat 3 meals a day moderately, only to 3/4 full, irrespective of my appetite.

The large bun looks dry, spongy and hard....needs to be toasted and squashed flat. The cheese isn't melted enough, and you want to be eating that right after the patties are fresh off the grill at med/rare to make it go down easier. There's also a lot of cold salad that will cool the burger down to make it harder. Especially if it's straight out of the fridge. The fries are a little too done also. I know I could do it but only if I prepared it.
They say that eating while sad, angry, depressed, etc., causing negativity to be swallowed along with the food, and once inside your body it manifests itself as outwardly negative energy, negative feelings, negative thoughts, negative words, negative actions, etc.
