Fed up is the act and consequence of getting fed up or getting fed up . This verb (fed up), according to the context, can refer to satisfy, exhaust or annoy .
For example: "The population's fatigue with the constant price increases is already evident" , "I tried to endure the pressure and mistreatment from my boss, but the fatigue overcame me and I decided to resign" , "Last night I ate my fill and "Now I feel very heavy."
Suppose a man contracts an Internet access service that, in the first two months, works without problems. However, after the third month, the quality of the service begins to decline, with frequent outages and increasingly lower speed. The user, at first, is patient since they assume that these are temporary inconveniences. Given the persistence of poor service, he sends the company an email but they never respond. Then he communicates by phone several times, always getting excuses and vague answers. Due to the fatigue generated by the situation , the man finally decides to cancel the service.
Fed up, in this sense, can come as a consequence of frustration or even coincide with it, although it is not the same sensation. A frustrating situation can paralyze us, lead us to give up and stop trying to solve it; If problems get to us, on the other hand, it usually happens that we are overwhelmed by a charge of energy sufficient to face them in another way, to put an end to them once and for all.
It can also be understood as an excess of something positive, such as laughter , reading or even the action of speaking. We can say that "we laughed until we were sick", referring to how much fun we had. Likewise, saying that “we've listened to this album ad nauseam” means that we love it and that's why we've played it so many times.
A person who overeats , on the other hand, eats an excessive amount of food. Generally, when someone eats their fill, they do so out of gluttony since they really like the foods in question. If a teenager who is a fan of hamburgers goes to a party where he can eat as many as he wants and consumes eight, it can be said that he ate his fill. This behavior, of course, usually generates negative effects on the body.
Eating until you are full is something that many people do, although not all for the same reasons. In fact, throughout life, this attitude can arise in diverse situations as well. Among the most common triggers of anxiety is stress , that feeling of obfuscation, of suffocation that seemingly impossible to solve problems bring us, whether in the workplace, student or at home. When anxiety invades us at this level, various disorders usually appear in our behavior, among which difficulties concentrating, sleeping at night and excessive eating stand out.
The most serious consequence of eating to your heart's content is perhaps not the inevitable weight gain, nor the risk of suffering from cardiovascular disease or joint damage, but the fact that it does not in any way solve the problem we were trying to cover up, which may be stress. Food should serve to charge our body with energy, to give it the necessary nutrients for its proper functioning and development; In the best of cases, it should be a meeting point with our loved ones, an excuse to share some time while enjoying delicious dishes. But in no way should we turn eating into a harmful activity.
