Does grocery shopping make you hungry?

[Cotton1]

It did me , tonite. About 4-5 hours ago I got the urge to grocery shop. 15 minutes later im at wal mart throwing things in the basket. Marie Calenders frozen dinners, frozen breakfast stuff, sodas , cookies , chips etc.
Since I got home i have eaten cheetos , bowl of cereal , peanut butter crackers , soda pop and chocolate milk. Holy crap Batman. I prolly gained 10 pounds and took 10 years off my screwed up life. Wow. Good thing I didnt go to the store hungry lol

I must learn moderation. The only good thing about tonight is I was too busy snacking to smoke. Geezz..being tri polar has its moments. If im in a certain mood im all in lol. I answered the door earlier with a puffy cheeto between my lips like it was my teeth. She was lol hysterically and i pretended I had no idea why lol lol..

Sometimes it does. Especially if they are putting out samples of finger foods. Its like here try a barbecue wing, and I'm like. Just one? Try a sausage link, again just one. Here try a very small piece of pizza. Its not even a full slice.

No. I eat before I shop.

And I don't buy junk food.

You should not shop for groceries on an empty stomach.

I didn't. I was in a mild manic phase and just wanted something to do. The way I was tossing things in my basket youd think i was on a grocery store game show ...

I expect that part of the process is to try to find constructive outlets for mild manic phases, like undertaking a good clean of the house or getting rid of junk or just going for a good hike.

I make a list of what I need- I use a phone app called InkPad.

I rarely get anything not on my list. I don't think grocery shopping makes me hungry, but it does make me look forward to cooking whatever I had planned.

When I go shopping, I generally have one or two items I need, but I go along and plan the next few meals on the fly. I generally spend a lot on beef and chicken.


I rarely buy seafood as I generally eat what I catch. I’ll buy certain seafoods if it’s out of season here and I don’t have any in the freezer.


I flat out refuse to buy farm raised seafoods. Especially salmon and shrimp. I never run out of salmon or halibut, I go through shrimp quite quickly because our season is so short and the catch limit is very small

Agree on the farm raised seafood. That is like getting fish from the toilet.
