We've all been there. Let me break it down for you.
Stage 1: Debating if the hunger exists.
Am I actually hungry or am I bored? Is my stomach empty, desiring food? Or do I just need something to do? WIll I be content if I just drink a glass of water? Probably not. I'm hungry.
Stage 2: Determining the extent of the hunger.
Am I in the mood for a heavy meal or a light snack? Do I want to sit myself down and eat, knowing that I'll be in a food coma afterwards, or do I just want something to hold me over, until I do that later?
Stage 3: Deciding how hungzy (lazy +hungry) you are.
Do I want to go out and get something? Do I want to leave my bed? I'm going to have to get up to answer the door, so I might as well go out, but that entails getting dressed. Well, who cares what I look like, I'll be there for two seconds. There will be more options if I pick up or go out. But staying in can limit my options, and help me to decide. Ugh, why can't there be a service to bring me food from the one place that I'm craving, but doesn't deliver.
Stage 4: Look for company.
Does anyone want to eat with me? Will anyone get food with me? What do you want? I don't really know what I want but if you tell me what you want. I may be able to figure out what I want. You get me? Lets get something together because I know I'll be jealous of whatever you get, and I'll regret what I get. Plus, I don't want to order, pick up or dine out, and eat alone.
Stage 5: Establish a destination and pick an item.
Okay so we picked a restaurant. Now what do I want from here? The last time I ate at this restaurant, I hated what I got. Plus, I always get the same thing and I'm kind of bored of it. Ugh. What are you getting? Should I just play it safe and get what my typical order? What happens if I try something new and I don't like it? Then I'll be annoyed. I'll just stick to my usual.
Stage 6: Analyze and repeat.
Was yours as good as it usually was? Mine was a little different. Yours was amazing? I'm so jealous. It didn't taste the same, something was off. I'm still not satisfied. I want something else, but I don't know what.
