how do you know? i'm having a pickle of a time trying to distinguish the two. my tummy hurts but its not growling. how do i know if this is real or not? i haven't eaten much today. 8am i had a bowl of cereal. 11am i had 10 pepperoni slices, a string cheese and 2 handfulls of pistachios. now its 1pm and i'm hungry. i think thats ok right? to be hungry at this time based on what i've eaten? should i wait till i'm starving? hmm... how do you know?
honestly i'm keeping myself busy and not thinking about food. but this hunger pang is getting to me. its annoying.
*update*
i ended up eating. not much though. i didn't get full. i just got satisfied. i wish i was nice and full though. i like being full. if i'm not full i feel like i'm always kind of hungry inside. ;/ good news though. i had a very stressful conversation with sallie mae about a mistake they made on my bill. afterwards i really wanted some ice cream. but i'm trying to recognize the situation and cope in other ways. breathe. watch a movie. relax. i'll be ok without ice cream.
wellll....do not ask me how to differentiate between real and head hunger....4 years into this journey and I still don't know. Okay - scratch that - I do know - I just don't listen.

ReplyDeleteI also have serious head hunger issues. When it really flares up I play number games. I check what time I eat and if its a meal I tell myself ok, you can eat again in 3 hours, and 2 if I have a snack, it is really helpful to deal with head hunger, but it in no way makes it go away or teaches you the difference.
