Ugh, This Head Hunger Is A Bia!

I would stand at the fridge and cry. You ARE mourning the loss of your "blankie" like Linus. Now that it has been stripped away, you are left alone. Alone to feel all the things that we hid from while eating. Sadness, anger, ect.

You have to remember that we have lost our BFF. The one thing that we thought made everything better. But it didn't.

These feelings pass, and soon your energy will be up- you've lost even more weight- exercise isn't as hard as used to be and you have all this time! Time that was spent getting a "fix" from whatever food was your vice. Now it's time to start up a new hobby!

But once you return to those nummys, after the month or so you cannot eat them- they don't taste the same. You might get sick and throw them up. And eventually the craves go away. Not all of them but most do.

Choose yourself over the fries! If you HAVE to have them, split a small with a kid or two. Just enough to be satisfied- not sickly full.

Hang in there!

It's because you still have the habit of eating all the time. That will get better with time. Don't freak out just yet. lol

I'll admit, I've given in to my head hunger once or twice... Nothing tastes the same anymore. Sweets are too sweet, salty foods are too salty. I don't have the head hunger too bad anymore because I know nothing tastes as amazing as it used to. Maybe giving in is just the deterrent you need?

I feel like I am failing and succumbing to head hunger. I'm not really hungry but I keep wanting to graze and snack on everything. How are you dealing with head hunger? Just the want to eat, not the need.

I've had a huge problem with head hunger. So much so that I chewed a chip up & spit it out just to get the taste. But since then I have had the realization that that's not going to help my craving for it, I would just want it more. I found drinking a lot of Water, keeping busy & chewing sugar-free gum have helped me out a lot with this.
