Do you find yourself wandering over to the fridge even when you’re not all that hungry? Have you been leaning into your favorite comfort foods a little more than usual lately? Sounds like you have a “lonely mouth”, Kuchisabishii.
“Kuchisabishii” is a uniquely Japanese word that literally means “lonely mouth” or “longing to have or put something in one's mouth.” It can also be explained as mindless eating or eating when you are not hungry.
Yep, that’s my word for now on, since I tend to follow that life style. 😞
I wonder why Japanese have that word and we do not, as they are mainly in shape and we are not. Plus, they are in shape even though they are the only ones that have over 300 kinds of Kit Kat bars, imagine that!😮
Well, today I’ll try not to be like Pac-Man: open mouth, cruising around the corners, seeking snack pellets.😕
It just seems life is too short for self-hatred and celery sticks. But being home, the one day of the week when I am, with weekend chores to attack, walking to the refrigerator is very easy to do! I need watermelon in there, it’s delicious and just a small piece satisfies me when I am experiencing kuchisabishi.😋
Have a Stupendous Sunday!🌺☀️
The elevator to success is out of order. You’ll have to use the stairs… one step at a time.
