How do you forget to eat?? Because I need to learn

  While Sandra and I were working our butts off on the elliptical, we began conversing about our day.  She had a play date earlier in the day with a friend with a little baby.  He is right at a year old.  They hit the pool together with all of the kids in tow.  We chatted briefly about how it went, and then Sandra says...

Sandra : "You know, she was in a bikini, and she looked fabulous.  Her son just turned a year old..."
Me:  (huffing and puffing on elliptical) "That bitch...I mean, good for her. What is her secret??"
Sandra:  "She says she has been working hard, but that she still has more to go.  I looked at her shocked.             She told me that she forgets to eat and that she doesn't have time to eat."
Me:  "Ahhh, one of those.  I NEVER forget to eat.  If I forget anything about eating, it is that I have already eaten, and then I do it again.  This morning was a perfect example.  I had a Nutra Grain bar, got the kids ready, poured my coffee, and made myself a bowl of cereal.  I didn't remember until halfway through the bowl that I had already eaten."
Sandra: "No matter how busy I am, I can always find time to eat."
Me: "In fact, that is when I make the worst choices.  I inhale food in a hurry, and then I eat something else, before I even realize I am full."
Sandra : "yep, same here."
Cue incredibly fit girl with massive, fake breasts in tiny gym clothes.  She struts by as we sit on the ab machines covered in sweat...
Me: "I think she forgot some of her clothes..."
Sandra: "I would have to agree..."
Me: "I bet she forgets to eat too..."
Sandra: "agreed..."

  I wish I dealt with stress by forgetting to eat...until then, back to LA Fitness.
