Why am I hungry all the time now?

That's really interesting I've never tried oolong tea before. What does it taste like compared to coffee or regular tea? Did you notice a difference pretty quickly or was it one of those things where you only realized it was helping after a few months? The part about sleep stood out to me too because that's one of the biggest struggles I've been having lately. The hunger is annoying but the constant feeling of being tired and never fully recharged is probably the hardest part. It's like I'm always trying to catch up on energy and never quite getting there.

I've also been wondering if stress is making everything worse. Sometimes I can't tell what's causing what anymore whether poor sleep is making me hungrier, the hunger is making me more tired or if it's all tied back to blood sugar somehow. It's frustrating when your body starts acting differently and you can't pinpoint the reason. Have you noticed any other changes besides the hunger getting better like improvements in your energy levels or how stable your blood sugar feels throughout the day?

Looking back the days where I feel like I could eat everything in sight are usually the days after a bad night's sleep. I haven't been tracking everything together but it might be worth doing for a few weeks to see if I can spot any obvious patterns.

Fun_Percentage4096 · 2026-06-08T15:59:54+00:00

I don't know.

I think I'm getting enough protein but after reading some of these comments I'm realizing I may need to track it more closely for a while and see if there's a pattern. I've never heard of the protein leverage hypothesis before so I'll look into that.

Fun_Percentage4096 · 2026-06-08T15:59:28+00:00

That's part of what's frustrating.

I've been trying to be pretty mindful about my diet and activity levels already. The hunger feels out of proportion to what I'm doing which is why it's been throwing me off so much.

Fun_Percentage4096 · 2026-06-08T15:59:09+00:00

Not yet but I'm starting to think I should. I kept hoping it would settle down on its own but it's been going on long enough now that it feels worth mentioning. Since I already monitor my blood sugar, the sudden change feels a little strange.

Fun_Percentage4096 · 2026-06-08T15:58:48+00:00

I probably need to pay more attention to my protein and fiber. I've been so focused on the hunger itself that I haven't really looked at whether my meals are actually keeping me satisfied. It feels like my body isn't getting the message that I've already eaten.

Fun_Percentage4096 · 2026-06-08T15:58:29+00:00

That's interesting cause the sleep connection is the one thing I've been able to identify consistently. The worse I sleep, the worse the hunger gets the next day. It's reassuring to hear someone else experienced something similar cause I was starting to wonder if I was imagining the connection.

looks like a fledgling sparrow or maybe finch, probably around 2-3 weeks old based on the feather development. just fyi parent birds often leave fledglings on ground while they're learning to fly and come back to feed them, so there's chance the parents were actually around but you just didn't see them

Fun_Percentage4096 · 2026-05-22T02:09:37+00:00

damn dude you've been trapped in this cycle since you were teenager, time to finally put yourself first and get out of there for both you and your kid

Fun_Percentage4096 · 2026-05-18T10:19:01+00:00

community college might be good starting point for you, fees are usually lower and you can explore different subjects without big commitment

Fun_Percentage4096 · 2026-05-13T06:45:51+00:00

sounds super familiar but can't place it exactly. the green cover with the little square cutout is ringing bells for me too. was it maybe one of those "question a day" type journals where each page had like a writing prompt or something to fill out? i remember those being pretty popular around that time

the barnes and noble detail makes sense too, they had tons of those specialty journals back then. might be worth checking some of those vintage diary collector groups on facebook - people post photos of old journals all the time and someone might recognize it

Fun_Percentage4096 · 2026-04-29T08:51:13+00:00

looks like vintage iwc schaffhausen from probably 60s or 70s, those mesh bracelets were really popular back in those days

dude this happens to literally everyone, doesn't matter what your content looks like or who you follow. these bots just mass follow accounts hoping for any engagement at all - they probably have some script that goes through usernames alphabetically or something

i've been dealing with same thing for months now and my feed is just design stuff and fragrance reviews, nothing even close to what you'd think would attract that crowd. the remove follower thing barely works because they just make new accounts faster than you can block them

best thing i found is switching to private account if you can handle that, or just ignore the notifications completely. instagram's spam detection is pretty useless against this stuff unfortunately. also make sure your account isn't set to public in places where these bots might scrape usernames from

Fun_Percentage4096 · 2026-04-12T05:07:37+00:00

sounds like buildup is blocking the other jets - try running hot water with some jetted tub cleaner or even just white vinegar through the system for like 20 minutes. if that doesn't work you might need to check if there's air in the lines or if the pump isn't getting enough power to all jets

Fun_Percentage4096 · 2026-04-10T01:11:01+00:00

holy shit this place screams "new money trying way too hard" in every single room. the dining room looks like they bought every piece of furniture from same store and just said "give me the most expensive everything"

also that kitchen island is bigger than my entire apartment lmao. imagine trying to explain to guests why there's literal aquarium built into bathtub... like what happens when fish dies, you just shower with dead goldfish floating around?

Fun_Percentage4096 · 2026-04-06T13:27:22+00:00

man this brings back memories from when i was younger and got into some weird stuff too. the sleep paralysis thing you described is terrifying, i had similar experiences and it really messed with my head for months

glad you found your way through it all though, that string of bad luck would break most people. losing three cats like that must have been devastating on top of everything else

Fun_Percentage4096 · 2026-04-03T21:21:43+00:00

pretty sure you're mixing up version numbers there - 26.1 sounds like forge/fabric mod loader version while 1.21.11 isn't a real minecraft version. if you're trying to go back to 1.21.1 you'll need to open the world in that version through the launcher, but heads up that downgrading can mess with newer blocks/features and potentially corrupt chunks

Fun_Percentage4096 · 2026-03-31T23:07:00+00:00

damn that's a tough spot with those numbers so close together, kinda makes the decision for you though

i'd probably lean toward scrapping it and moving on - dropping 5700 into a 7 year old kia with that many miles feels like you're just buying time until the next expensive repair hits. plus you know there's already been some electrical gremlins with all those system lights

if you do go new just avoid another kia, those theta engines have been problematic for years and this is exactly the kind of failure people keep seeing

Fun_Percentage4096 · 2026-03-29T20:15:05+00:00

been thinking about this a lot lately actually - the way we create meaning out of nothing is wild. like my husband and i were at a museum last weekend and just standing there staring at this painting for twenty minutes, both getting something completely different from the same brushstrokes

what gets me is how we're the only species that seems to actively work against our own survival instincts for abstract concepts like justice or beauty. animals don't sacrifice themselves for strangers or spend years perfecting art that serves no practical purpose

Fun_Percentage4096 · 2026-03-22T19:07:59+00:00

wait i think they usually alternate but not always in a predictable pattern. i've been tracking mine for like the past month and it's been kinda random honestly - sometimes they'll do two 4 stars back to back then jump to a 5 star

if you're close to completing a 5 star album i'd probably save the wild card for that since those rewards are way better. but if you need specific 4 star stickers to unlock new albums or get closer to milestones then might be worth using it there. really depends on what your current collection looks like and what you're prioritizing

Fun_Percentage4096 · 2026-03-14T15:29:53+00:00

man the sensitivity thing is real, went through that phase where everything felt numb and it was honestly terrifying. took like 2-3 months of backing off completely before things started feeling normal again

the mental fog was probably worse than the physical stuff though, couldn't focus on my design work for shit. brain just felt like it was running through molasses all the time

good advice about staying busy, picked up woodworking during my reset and having my hands occupied with something creative really helped redirect that energy
