The Ten Stages Of Being Hangry

When it comes to food, there are two different people living inside all of us. That's not as weird as it sounds. Go with us for a minute.  First up is the balanced, civilised individual we present to the world on a daily basis. The second is the crazed lunatic that emerges from all of us when we're hangry. If you’re not familiar with the term, we can assure you that you’ve experienced an episode of it at some point in your life. And it probably wasn't pretty. Here are the ten stages of being hangry. The shift in your mood You suddenly notice your frame of mind taking a turn for the worse. But you're not quite sure why. Yet. The irritability The hangry cogs start to turn. You realise that you haven't eaten anything for several hours. Everyone and everything around you starts to get on your nerves. The food envy Why does everyone around you seem to be eating all of a sudden? What the hell is going on? Everyone becomes your enemy. The denial  You take a step back and try to convince yourself that there's nothing wrong. This is a very short stage. The frustration You're now so hangry you don't bother trying to hide your annoyance any longer. The lunatic inside you is starting to make an appearance. The aggression The lunatic is definitely on the loose. Your tummy is growling and you're starting to lose control. The delusion You zone out and start imagining all of the thing you want to eat. The moment it all starts to get a bit much The struggle is real. You take a couple of deep breaths to try and calm yourself down. It doesn't work. The meltdown You've reached a ten on the hangry scale. The people around you think you've actually lost your mind. All reason goes out the window. Nothing else matters. You need food NOW. The relief You finally get your hands on some food and you inhale everything edible you can find. The lunatic is tamed and all is well with the world. Until next time.
