Food Floorplan

I’ve been at my new place for 3 weeks and I’ve noticed that I haven’t been snacking hardly at all while home. 

Granted I haven’t been home as much in these past 3 weeks and I’m in the throws of marathon training, BUT I had the thought last night that perhaps I’m not in the kitchen as much because now it is a floor away, as opposed to within eyeshot. 

At my old place my kitchen was right outside my bedroom and also easily accessible from the living room (where I spent most of my non-sleeping home hours). 

At my new place my master bedroom (which also has a couch/tv so it’s my downtown space too ) is on the 2nd floor. The kitchen is in the back of the townhouse on the ground floor so I’d have to “go out of my way” to go in there. Since I’m in a large townhouse with others I haven’t been spending much time in the “common areas.” The kitchen is now a place I go to cook or wash dishes. It’s a very different dynamic. 

So yeah, I had this a-ha moment last night when I made my dinner brought it up stairs and when I finished I was still a little hungry, but I didn’t want to go downstairs to “fully fill” my stomach when I knew I ate plenty. Next thing I knew it was going to bed and hadn’t thought about getting more food to eat since it flashed through my mind two hours before. 

I’ll be curious to see how my relationship with the kitchen goes at my new place..
