You've got this CocoNina, half the battle is being aware you've an issue. I hate suggesting this but it's worked for me, and as one person said, fighting head hunger is like alcoholism.

Try OA, it's for people who struggle with food addiction, compulsive overeating, or triggers that cause one to eat. The reasons we struggle are as various as the people who struggle.

If you don't like groups, try seeking counseling or therapy. Or, write in a journal (not type) what your triggers are and why you think you have them, how you feel, so you slow your mind down and recognize with clarity what you're feeling and why, and how it connects to food.

The surgery is such a fantastic tool, but many of us have work to do on our heads, too.

Also, try doing things with friends that don't revolve around food too, if you already don't. Create activities that will take your mind off eating, and replace the old urge to eat with a better habit.

Takes time and work but one can get passed head hunger. I think Protein helps aid in reduced head hunger, too as it reduces physical hunger.

I'm not clear that head hunger ever goes away.... especially the bitch that comes late at night!!

Lately I fight it more than before ever since I hit a Year the times I lose I workout harder to compensate.

Thanks for posting this! I am six months out and it is a daily battle. I'm still winning most days but I'm so scared of going back to my old ways. Stress and boredom are the worst. Always good to know you're not alone Good luck to all of you, we've got this!

Having a major issue with head hunger. Been going backwards. But spent the day doing meal prep to get back on track. I don't think I'll ever get over the head hunger.
