My Job Makes Me Eat More



Recommended Posts

I work in a prison, in an area where i have to walk a lot. For some reason, i want to eat or snack through out my 12 hour shift. Do I need my band tightened?

Honestly, that sounds like head hunger not physical hunger. Tightening your band won't help that because your band has nothing to do with your brain.

Unfortunately head hunger will forever be ours to battle. You simply have to learn to resist the urge to eat when you're not physically hungry.

Best wishes.

Agree with Missy's statements, tightening the band will not help. The band can not make you not eat, unfortunately only you can do that. You need to try and figure out what else you can do with that time of the day when you feel the need to eat. Eating should be reserved to meal times and planned snack periods like a Protein bar or shake between meals.

Missy is correct in her statement that head hunger will always be our battle, if you do not learn to control this early on in this journey it will be a continual battle with a negative outcome.

well, i would love to say my desk job makes me eat more or that my pms time makes me eat more

but in reality, its my right hand that brings the food to my mouth to eat...not anything else.

like you, i get hungry too but you gotta work this band to make it work. if you are hungry, eat

but eat good, healthy food and do not make excuses to eat junk food....thats why we got the band in

the first place....

What is triggering the head hunger? Get to the bottom of that. Sounds like maybe a coping mechanism? What emotion are you feeling right before you want to snack? Getting to the bottom of that will really change things!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
