I am as hungry now as I was when I began in the sport. If anything, I am probably a bit hungrier. It is because I know there are fewer tomorrows than yesterdays.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm hungry. Always have been, my whole career.
Oh, God, food is a constant struggle for me. With exercise, I get my workout done, and I'm done until tomorrow. With food, I eat, and then an hour later I'm hungry again!
I definitely don't like to eat a lot before I play. I don't like to play on a full stomach. Sometimes, if I'm feeling hungry before a game, I'll eat one of those protein bars, but that's it.
I realistically eat every hour and 15 minutes. I watch the clock to see when I eat again. I'm almost upset that I'm not eating now.
I could easily go one or two days without realizing that I'm so, so hungry. That's the negative outcome of what I've become.
Few of us can accurately gauge how we will feel tomorrow or next week. That's why when you go to the supermarket on an empty stomach, you'll buy too much, and if you shop after a big meal, you'll buy too little.
A lot of people don't know what it's like to actually be hungry. I do. I've also slept on the streets.
I don't eat out much. I eat mostly home food and no carbs after 5 P.M. You are what you eat, and Sunday used to be my cheat day, when I could eat chocolate; but there are no cheats to a good body. Now, I don't give in.
Even though I am not hungry when I get up, I try to eat to get me ready for the day. Within an hour of getting up.
No matter how cold you are or how hungry you are, you might be warm tomorrow.
