It still tastes good to me though, so there's a certain amount of entertainment to go with the nourishment.

Except right now - with this nasty head cold, everything tastes like cardboard, with a side of Styrofoam. Quite frankly, with everything having no taste at all, it's hard to eat, except that I am kinda hungry, so I'm not quite forcing myself to eat, but because of the cold, I'm definitely not eating nearly as much as usual.

If I could continue indefinitely to think of food as ONLY something to ease the hunger, perhaps I'd start losing weight again, but the sad thing about it is that as soon as the cold starts to ease up, and my taste buds return to normal, I'm sure my appetite will return to normal.
