Hunger Strikes

Lol, clever.
Now I'll never forget. ❤

If only I'd come up with this when I actually NEEDED to remember it! Lol

It happens like that 😂

But who is to say you don't still need the information within your brain?
Understanding the how and why is cool, even if you aren't tested on it! Yeah?

My mind in filled with tons of tidbits of what some might call "useless knowledge", but I always find a way to use it somewhere down the line. ❤

Yes indeed
Quite appropriate for me right now as on the wagon, unfortunately not the food wagon as last week 👍🤗

Wait, what? Are you saying that you're hungry? Lol

Yep 👍
But I can wait it out a little longer
Dieting is never easy, but it gets easier as the days turn to weeks
Its keeping positive that helps

Heh, sorry for reminding you! Best of luck with your diet... I believe in you :)

I feel good about the journey
This wagon might be thrift with edible delights, but the bed is a comfy one👍

You make Ghrelin and Leptin sound like mischievous imps ;)

Lol! That make me chuckle a bit. They do sound a bit mischievous, eh? You think these two are bad? Just wait till you meet Oxytocin and Cortisol :D

I look forward to reading of the exploits of these two pranksters ;)

Oh, I do believe you can find their dabbling in many of my pieces if you look hard enough:
Oxytocin = love
Cortisol = stress

Now that I am alerted to its presence, I shall search for it and read ... (later)

well - a quick scan of titles did not yield.  I shall search deeper later.

Dear NB,

What an awesome way to learn new things! Of course the way my head works I’ll end up paraphrasing that there is one big word that means hungry and another big word that means full. Might you have a poem that works on memory??  😳
Awesome write! H🌷

I'm glad you liked it, H! I wish I could help you, but you're going to have to take that one up with your hippocampus :)

Darn! Well, I shall commit to learning new stuff and enjoying your poems in the moment!  Really clever write!! H🌷
Hippocampus= big part of human brain.😉

Heh, thanks again, H!!! :D

That would explain what may happen to individuals who suffer from excessive weight issues. Too much of one hormone and not enough of the other. No off switch.  Thank you for the education.

You could definitely be on to something there...!

There's often more to the story than meets the eye :)

Yes. Many factors can play into weight issues; biological, psychological, emotional and trauma can impact a person's weight and body image.

Heh, glad I could add to your knowledge-banks, WildFlowers :)

Thanks so much for stopping by to read and comment!

I learned something new today thank you! I never looked into this however I am thankful to you. nicely put together

You're welcome, Classy! It's nice to break from the more serious poetry every now and again to write something a little more playful :)
I'm so glad that you enjoyed it!

I learned something today, in a way that will stay.  Poetry is an under-utilized educational tool and this work is proof of its value.

I completely agree with you there, snugglebuck! It certainly helped me to memorize it! Poetry, especially mnemonics, are especially useful when it comes to memorizing material :)

Thanks for the read and comment!

You would've been a great teacher!  Undercover poet!

Awww, thanks Ahavati! Perhaps I should have gotten my teaching license 🤔😁

Thanks for your lovely comment, and have the best night!

Fascinating

Heh, I thought so too. Thank you for you readership, Lozzamus!

Oh great I love this....  learning …… you are too much NewB………
so... if I manage  Ghrelin then the other Leptin  wont  have work to do?  Lol...
Oooo…


Cortisol...……....…...tel me about...….can be positive or negative ……..'sight'

is there one for emotions?...….

Hey poetic, so glad that you liked this playful, educating poem :)

Sounds like you have the right idea!

Emotions... Hmm... Now that gets complicated, since there's a whole conglomeration of hormones and neurotransmitters involved in feeling emotions, not just a single chemical... according to Wikipedia, "serotonin, dopamine, GABA, cortisol, noradrenaline and oxytocin often affect emotion."

All of these play a role in the expression of emotions :)

i feel like i should call you Mr. New Beginnings, like a teacher :)

I learned something today?

thanks for sharing.

Heh, I'm no teacher, but I like to learn; therefore, I like to help others learn. I'm glad that you enjoyed this little spill, and that you picked up some random knowledge too :)

Thank you, Wh1skey, for stopping to by read and comment! I truly appreciate it!
