Hunger stages of the Me:

-3. That horribly delicious Christmas dinner at [livejournal.com profile] enotsola's one year where we laid on the bed for about two hours afterwards, unable to move.

-2. No, really, I'm full. The idea of chewing and swallowing is starting to make me slightly ill.

-1. I'm full, thanks.

0. Not hungry, although I would still probably eat something tasty if you put it in front of me.

1. I'm a little hungry and am probably in the mood for something in particular. Overall disposition changes very little.

2. I'm reasonably hungry and would probably eat whatever. Mood is getting a little short-tempered.

3. I'm hungry enough that nothing seems appealing and I want to rant at the very idea. This is my crankiest stage, where on bad days I resemble a four-year-old.

4. I'm even hungrier than that and am back to probably eating whatever I can possibly get my hands on, including food that is stale or that has been out of refrigeration for a questionable amount of time.

5. My stomach gives up on the idea that I am going to feed it, and I get a "second wind" where I don't feel that hungry, and thus am back to the -1 to +1 range as far as mood, although physically I would probably be willing to give a go to anything but my most hated foods (like eggplant and bananas).

The way to get me out of stage 3 is not to ask me what I want to eat; I will only snap at you. Just get some food and put it in front of me. Seriously, just about anything except foods I specifically hate (that's for stage 5 or beyond into the beginnings of deprivation); I'll eat it. I am just not at a point where I can voice a choice for myself because I am feeling like "fuck the world, including food, and you who are trying to offer it to me! grrr!"

[livejournal.com profile] enotsola can probably vouch for all of this, having been in the car on several occasions when I passed from stage 2 into 3 while we were deciding where to go for a meal (and, of course, having been there at the aforementioned Christmas dinner).

Just a survival tip for y'all.
