As I have been in Mexico I have had an appetite the size of a hippopotamus, and a pig combined. You could probably throw in a rhino, and that would probably be more accurate. As I have done research, I have found some reasons why my body has taken this change. They are:
1- I'm stressed.
2- I'm walking more than ever in my life, and I need to keep up my calories.
3- I'm stressed.
4- The food I eat here is absolutely amazing, so I feel the need to stuff myself every chance I get before I leave.
5- I'm stressed.
6- I just love food!
Since I do know my body more than anybody else; well except for one person, (don't worry it's God!) I have come to the conclusion that I am, yes, stressed; but I feel like it's more than that. I am legitimately HUNGRY ALL the time! I feel like if I don't eat, I won't have the energy to make it through the day. Check it:
For breakfast I ate a:
-Cinnamon roll &
-Oatmeal Atole
After teaching in the morning I ate a:
-Concha
-Apple &
-Drank a Yakuit
After Spanish Class #1 I ate:
-An amazing piece of cake...I would actually like some more now as I type...
-2 ham/cheese/jalapeno tortillas.
After Spanish Class #2 I ate:
-2 tostadas with avocado &
-A bowl full of papaya.
After teaching my night class I ate:
-3 Yakis (which are really spicy chips. Really good though!)
-Chicken and zucchini soup.
-The BEST chile relleno I have ever had in my life! &
-One awesome cup of homemade juice.
Did you get all of that? Kinda ridiculous right? The best part is, is that I made a new friend. In my dreams that is. I had a dream last night that I met this really awesome woman who's dream was to make an amazing restaurant named after her. Well, after a lot of sweat and hard work, we made a pretty stinkin' amazing restaurant if I do say so myself. The front room was super chill and colorful, but the best part was the back of the store. You walk through these curtains and all of a sudden your standing in the middle of a fresh market with apples, bananas, and anything else you wanted. It truly was amazing! The not so great part, was when life had to take it's course. I remember thinking that I wanted this woman and her restaurant only a walk away for the rest of my life. However, I had other duties. Not sure what they were, but I had to leave the town where we had started her life dream. Then I woke up. Friend, food, and restaurant all gone.
I'm not sure what this dream even means, but it involved food, like I don't get enough of it in my life. As you can see, that is not a problem here! I just kind of feel guilty about eating all the time, but at the same time, I'm like, "Hey, I'm on an extended vacation. Give me a break." (KitKat anyone? =P) My Mom and Pop's definitely have nothing to worry about, especially having their crazy daughter starve to death in Mexico. :-)
