I determined that I don't know when I am hungry, but I also don't really know if I am full unless I am too full. I realize that those surgeries that will make your stomach smaller, or pills that will suppress your appetite would never work on me since I don't have the same hunger cues as everyone else and I don't seem to have the full cues either.
On Optifast I was never hungry and I was never full. I didn't have the problem that others had in the beginning where they were starving, but I don't really feel my stomach has shrunk. I was afraid to eat when we started to eat, now I am afraid to eat because I worry that I will eat to much.
When did this happen? Have I always not had hunger/full cues? Is there some chemical that I am missing? Am I having them and I just don't recognize them? Or maybe I am just never hungry? I sit here thinking about being hungry and I suddenly think I am very hungry, but I just had a big cup of tea and an egg bake - so I don't think I should be hungry. Maybe I should be full?
Who knows if I don't?

I think that's a very interesting theory. Probably there are people who are missing those cues. So then I guess you just have to plan your meals based on calories. And that's exactly what you are doing. The only thing is, you have to keep doing it even when you aren't dieting. So you've learned a very interesting thing about yourself that will serve you well.

ReplyDeleteHopefully T3 also has learned that SHE (not TSH) has to plan the meals
