I'm hungwy...

Why am I always so freakin' hungry??? I drink water and green tea like it's my job...I'm trying to eat like 5 times a day and more protein and less carbs & fat...but I am still ALWAYS hungry...And I never know what I want to eat. Like I could probably go for some Buffalo wings or a nice juicy cheeseburger...but Buffalo wings are fried, and I've eaten way too much beef on this birthday week of mine...

Yes, that's right I am now officially 26. Feel like I'm 36. Skipperdee feels like she's 6, and Moo feels like she's 56. We make a good blend of friends don't we?

I got a free tarot card reading yesterday for my birthday from www.tarot.com. MY "subject" was my future...

Self: The Star
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING You are coming to understand who you truly are.The card in the Self position reveals aspects of how you perceive yourself right now. The Star suggests that you are receiving information from your higher self about the reason you incarnated this lifetime. This is a profound experience. As we touch our greater self, the eternal aspect, our personal lives come into perspective. The feeling of being a stranger in a strange land vanishes. Great joy is inherent in this card's placement. You are consciously on the way home in a spiritual sense, no longer flailing in the dark.

Situation: Knight of Wands
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING Support a renewed sense of adventure that moves toward a vision, even in the face of more realistic viewpoints about the probable outcome.The card that lands in the Situation position refers to social or circumstantial factors which could be affecting your life at this time. When the Knight of Wands (in some decks, a Prince) is in this position, someone in your environment may be venturing into their dream. The situation may feel both poignant and bittersweet to you. You realize how joyful and important an occasion it is. Still, you see how likely it is that the shiny new armor will soon be dented, the husky horse become tired, and the enthusiasm of new adventures tempered by a few difficult trials. Virginal innocence has not yet met an adversary and that's a beautiful thing. It deserves to be celebrated and supported no matter how more seasoned eyes envision the eventual outcome.

Challenges/ Opportunities: Queen of Swords
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING Champion your own needs; put some distance between yourself and those who would hamper your progress.The card that lands in the Challenges/Opportunities position refers to ways that you can turn obstacles into stepping stones. With the Queen of Swords in this position, improve your ability to balance your needs against the pressures of other people's expectations. To turn this challenge into an opportunity, develop some enthusiasm for spending more time with yourself, making the pivotal decisions in your own life, and living directly with the consequences of your choices. Become your own best advocate. To help you accomplish this goal, shorten the list of people and circumstances that have the power to distract you or divert your energy. Define your boundaries. State your goals. Start acting on your own behalf.

Foundation: Nine of Cups
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING Knowing that the world is benevolent towards you provides a feeling of optimism and security.The card in the Foundation position points to influences from your personal history, your roots and background. The Nine of Cups in this position suggests that you have learned to embrace the point of view that we live in an abundant universe. This somewhat rare foundation is a priceless resource, a gift from your elders, as it were. It could also be the result of appropriate choices you've made, ones that truly supported you emotionally and psychically. Real feelings of security do not depend on outer circumstances. They come from your heart's realization that you are loved, wanted and taken care of. The world itself is positively disposed towards you and supports your success. These qualities and gifts provide a solid foundation to your personality that a lot of people simply don't have.

Recent Past: King of Cups
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING Let your longing for peace draw you into a search for deeper meaning.The card in the Recent Past position refers to events that are just departing, recently influential but now diminishing in power. The King of Cups in this position indicates that you have crossed paths with and been touched by a mentor well versed in the art of living. That person's energy field taught you, perhaps without words, to perceive and develop intuition and generosity. You have had an inspiring model of emotional stability you can now begin to reproduce in your own life. Don't let this memory slip away without contemplating and replaying it over and over again. Cultivate a desire for that state of being and surrender to it, so that you will be moved to make yourself and the world better.

Higher Power: Three of Swords
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING Be fully aware of personal boundaries and concentrate on your own objectives.The card in the Higher Power position reflects the broader perspective and influence of your conscience, Guardian Angel, inner wisdom. When the Three of Swords lands in this position, you are being asked to discriminate between what is yours and what belongs to others. What feelings, values, beliefs and emotional patterns are yours to work on? The lesson here is to respect your own boundaries and not invade others' space. Learn to keep your energy clear; and speak your truth without condemning or judging. Resist thinking that you know better about anyone else's situation. Become more self-sufficient. As you become your own best teammate, focus your brilliance on your own mission. Concentrate on the things that are your business and your assignment, accept less interference from others, and do less interfering.

Near Future: Wheel of Fortune
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING Change is inevitable, but you don't yet know what form it will take. Take stock of the few things that really matter and focus on stabilizing that.The card in the Near Future position indicates which way the wind is blowing with regard to your situation. If you follow the Advice card, however, you can improve on or neutralize tendencies. With the Wheel of Fortune in this position, new information or a new development will enter the scene and change the odds. Maybe an oracle could predict the outcome, but all you might feel at the moment is the hair rising on the back of your neck, or a sense that the surface calm masks some deep and permanent change. When you get that feeling, pull yourself in toward the hub of the wheel, the center of your being. Study the situation and use practical knowledge from past experience to help you understand what these circumstances portend. Once you have searched your memory banks, if there is a basis for hope, you will recall it. If there is a basis for concern, you will recognize what you are dealing with and prepare for it.

Blocks & Inhibitions: Ace of Wands
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING Use your imagination and the power of desire to rouse you to create change.The card in the Blocks position points to self-undermining tendencies, areas where you could be in denial, where you could get stuck -- unless you examine yourself and make some corrections. When the Ace of Wands falls in this position, there is a dangerous habit of deferring your self-will to the stronger will of others. As a result you lose track of what your own real purpose is. Use your imagination to create a dream scenario and feel it passionately. If this is difficult for you, it's because you have been neglecting this exercise too long. Without the ability to fully define and feel your own personal desires, you won't be fired up enough to achieve them. Get animated so you can create change.

Allies: Page of Coins
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING Explore the wisdom of tradition and learn from the masters in your area of concern.The card in the Allies position points to people who can be supportive or helpful to you at this time. In this position, the Page of Coins (in some decks, a Princess) suggests that when the student is ready, the master appears. Perhaps in your case the teacher appears in the form of a book or a manuscript that is centuries old. A living role model is not absolutely necessary, but we need to perceive and utilize the traditions and founding fathers of our craft as allies, a support structure for our development. Study your masters, be a good student, and take refuge in traditional wisdom.

Advice: Four of Cups
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING Change the circumstances that have brought you to a standstill. Rouse yourself from the doldrums.The card in the Advice position suggests a course of action which will harmonize what you want with what is currently possible. The Four of Cups in this position wants you to take a clear look at how stalled or distracted you have become. You may have been bogged down in negativity, hopelessness or a sense of limitation. It is not to your advantage, however, to see the world through such a narrow lens. Cut through some of the forces that undermine you, causing you to feel incapable. Sometimes you have to define what you are "for" by defining what you are "against." Decide that you are not leaden as is the cup of earth, not placid as is the cup of water, not turbulent as is the cup of air. Rather, now may be the time to be as aroused as the cup of fire. Getting fired up can be your ticket to liberation from the doldrums.

Long-term Potential: Death
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING You are not tempted to return to the patterns of the past; you are truly prepared to move on.The card in the Long-term Potential position points to unknowns still taking shape. It is the "wild card" yet to be played. The Death card in this position points to the potential of severing a long-standing attachment that has repeatedly held you back, even when you swore you were truly done with it. At this point your confidence is focused enough so that you are no longer willing to repeat the old patterns. Now you know you can cut the cords and free yourself. Mixed with a natural trepidation, there is tremendous feeling of optimism. You are on the verge of experiencing and accomplishing great things. As the glimmer of the future grows brighter, and you are willing to leave the past behind to pursue that light. You will feel much better when you finally cut the ties that bind.

Finally ordered from Zen Palate...couldn't think of anything else that was healthy and that I was craving...
