differences between men and women

ask him how its working for him a year from now. Biologically, hunger is a

pain signal that something is needed. This is part of why it is so terrible

to be hungry. It feels like pain. People eat to try to mediate that pain.

This is supposed to, within reason, be normal

interesting because I hate the feel of hunger and I hate it every

time I feel it.What do you think of this. Would this be his ability

to compartmentalize? Anyway, thanks for your wisdom.

My thoughts went way the other direction -- there are people who (for

whatever psyche reasons) enjoy pain and equate pain with pleasure so a year

from now the guy may not be able to keep doing this but he may also have

found new ways to intensify the pain of hunger which to that personality

type would, in however that works, increase the pleasure that is sought

through pain... I won't really *go there* but y'all know what I mean...
