Hunger ... or lack of it

This morning I woke up starving. This is the first time I've felt like that in ages and I wonder if it has anything to do with the sweetness of the cheesecake from last night. However, my weekend breakfast of smoked salmon, avocado and philly roll ups and a cup of rooibos, along with a couple of pints of water soon sorted that out. Unfortunately, it didn't last a long as I'd hoped. I didn't drink as much water as I should have done at the pub and I was soon starving again - especially as everyone seemed to be eating today and I spent most of my time delivering delicious smelling meals. I had celery with a bit of philly in, with some wafer thin ham wrapped round each piece to try and make it more attractive (I'm not keen on celery) obviously not quite the meal that I needed and it didn't really do much to fill me up. So when I got home I had a snack of thai salmon fishcakes with a spoonful of mayo. This was followed a few hours later by a lovingly prepared chicken, cheese & bacon melt with cauli & broccoli mash, asparagus, courgettes & buttered spinach. By now I wasn't hungry though and 1/2 way through I decided I couldn't eat any more even though it tasted lovely and left it. Of course I have managed to find space for another bit of cheesecake (the rest has been frozen and I'm hoping to forget about it for a day or 2) but I am now feeling comfortably full and in need of a snooze - but I have butternut squash soup to make for lunch tomorrow first.
