Oh sh*t. I hope I'm not going down a bad path. I have been noticing the exact same things. When I skip a meal I feel more in control. It also makes me feel more connected to people. Like I become one with others, even those I envy. Like a metting of that emotional overtone. It totally feels like I just took about 5mg of dexedrine and 0.5mg of lorazepam. Like a stimulant and a sedative. Supposidly fasting increases the activity of a compound that binds to the same receptors as GHB.
I also notice an increased richness to things around me. Like I am more able to live in the moment.
I hope I'm not going down a bad path (because I also exercise a lot). I'm 6'2 and 1/2 (135 pounds).
