gluttonous women

Calm down girls! Today I’m not going to talk about diets, eating disorders or healthy eating… This is a subject for the other columns.

I would like to share with you a characteristic that I have: I am a gluttonous woman! I confess that I also eat a lot, but this is not the case. I want it all! I’m hungry for many things, and I miss the things I haven’t experienced yet. I want to live wonderful professional, family, spiritual and existential experiences. But will it take time? I need to run.

Adélia Prado, already mature, said: “I don’t want a knife or cheese, I want hunger!”. The wise man Rubem Alves says that for a good old age the best medicine is hunger. Satiety paralyzes, hunger moves us towards food. The big question for today’s woman is: Do you have what hunger?

Maybe the answer is: I’m hungry for children, a successful career, a brilliant education, a beautiful body, a beautiful love, a beautiful salary, a beautiful car, a beautiful house. Hunger to speak more than one language, get to know the world, take care of the world and even save the world… And happiness, yes, always happiness. Oh! And if I have time, I’m also hungry for a hobby, cultivating my friendships, making new friends. Ufa…

But I also have another feeling: I feel like I’m always one step behind what the market demands, what the aesthetic standard of beauty demands, what society demands, what the family demands and I don’t know who else demands.

I then discover that there is a difference between hunger and gluttony. THE hungry it is an individual need that starts from within your being, it moves you to meet what you really love and need to live; already the greediness it is the result of the culture of exaggeration induced by external stimuli.

Hunger is delicious and healthy, gluttony is destructive. The world is before us like a feast, and the menu is endless. We seem to get used to overcoming limitations and achieving almost anything. But this is a dangerous game. We need to identify whether what we are looking for is something driven by our hunger, or is the fruit of the gluttony that the modern world has presented us with.

We are a generation of ambitious women. The previous generation burned their bras. Ours decided to want everything the burnt bra brought us and still use it with diamonds to keep part of a sculptural body that wakes up early to work.

As if that were not enough (and it is not enough), at the end of the day we want to be present mothers who, between one MBA class and another and other qualifications, need to play and interact with their children and family.

we are the generation of greedy women. We want everything, everything. Can’t leave it for later. That’s why 67% of Brazilian women declared in a recent survey that they are stressed (I think the others were too depressed to answer the questionnaire).

We want absolutely everything, we look at the world and we want to devour it. We just forget to look inside ourselves and recognize that there are limitations. Maybe it’s time to change the letter E to the letters OU. And find happiness in the choices made.

The myth of the successful woman needs to be revised. THE successful woman she is not the one who has everything, she is the one who knows the hunger of her soul and seeks to satisfy it. The others are greedy, victims of an unattainable pattern that will always cause frustration and shame.

Pablo Neruda, poet of the sea, wanted to swallow the sea. So it’s very good, It’s when we really love something, we want to eat it, put it inside us and thus become one. Hunger that feeds!

Gluttony is the result of our greed, coming from an external stimulus that whenever we swallow the coveted object, instead of leaving us satiated, it leaves us even more empty and discontented.

I have a challenge: I want stop being a greedy woman and become a hungry woman! I want to look for the right food and fill myself with the things I really love, not the things that are in the window of life telling me I must acquire them.

Perhaps in this way the expression “successful woman” acquires another price, do not make victims along the way; and who knows the journey to reach such a title is as or even more delicious than the arrival itself.

I challenge you to think: Are you a hungry or gluttonous woman? Do you have what hunger?
