Why Am I So Hungry Right Now?

Word vomit moment.

This feeling has existed since the weekend and is spilling into the work week – I just can’t shake it.

I feel like everyone is crushing their goals. But me.

Part of me wants to have a pity party, as I feel I haven’t accomplished anything.

…Says the twenty-something who is about to come up on her one year moving and work anniversary.

Where are these insecurities even coming from?

Oh, I don’t know, maybe it’s because I’m realizing there’s less than 2 months left of 2016.

And there are people/other females younger than me crushing some serious goals.

Real talk: Sometimes I tell myself “well at least I’m not [insert age] and doing XYZ.”

But then I feel horrible, because empowered women empower women, right?

Yes I typed that correctly, so you can read it again.

Instead of wallowing in self-pity, it’s always good to use these opportunities to motivate oneself.

I need to be a #GoalDigger.

And suddenly, I’m hungry out of nowhere.

Hungry not for food (surprising, I know), but hungry to crush something, accomplish some goals, just get to the next level, etc.

But now as I look back, I’m not really surprised I feel this way.

There have been some aspects of my life for the past few months where I’m not exactly feeling challenged.

So what's a girl to do?

Step one: Calm the F down.

Step two: Do work and crush it (to your limit) – professionally and personally. As long as you do work, this is all temporary?

Step three: ...I haven't figured that one out yet.

And one more reminder – being unhappy is not a bad thing. It’s a great motivator to something else.
