Why my tank is always empty

"What else to eat now?" that's the first thought that comes to my mind after taking the last bite of my food. My mind always craves food though my tummy is full, especially nowadays, when I am enclosed in the house due to covid. Initially, I followed my mind, a mugful of hot chocolate or the extra amount of food that should have been for the next meal made me happy. As an obvious result, weight gain, lethargic feeling. After long suffering, finally, I got the resolution. Now I am following the 'food in every 3/4 hours' method. Having breakfast within 1 hour after waking up, then lunch after 5 hours but having a mid-morning snack in between. Afternoon snacking happens after 3-4 hours from snack, followed by dinner after fours from that. In between, if I feel hungry, I fill up myself with water. Stil!!!! after having a full plate of a meal, I feel a craving for food. Before covid, this longing was not there much, at least after lunch, because I used to go to the office. Now, as I am confined at home, and as my job needs me to seat all the time, I avoid working at least for 15 mins after the meal. As nothing is exciting in life other than food and work, thus I get an unusual appetite followed by a stretched tummy. Now I have found a way to resolve this overeating. When I get this yearning for food, to distract my thoughts, I start preparing the next meal. It cheers me up. Thus my days are like the feedback networks now. I eat breakfast that is prepared the night before, then prepare the mid-morning snack and start working. After a few hours, to take a short break from work, I eat the mid-morning snack and prepare the lunch( as my lunch is mostly boiled rice and vegetables, shall not take much time) and again come back to work. I eat my lunch around 1PM, then chops vegetables or marinate chicken for dinner and start working again. After 3 hours or so, I again take another break for an afternoon snack (that was already prepared after lunch). Most of the days, I try to prepare some overnight breakfast for the next day, mostly with oats and yogurt, fruits. As I loove the heavy, creamy yogurt, the thought of it pulls me from bed in the morning. On some days, when there is no ready breakfast, thinking of cooking a hot breakfast kicks me out of bed. Cooking and eating give me eternal pleasure. As eating is limited, I try to cook every evening. Once in a while, I try something new, sometimes beginners' luck cracks, but most of the time it ends up in disaster. Anyway, I live on food, I dream of food. Cooking good food is a stress-reliever to me. Food is life! Eat..cook..eat!!
