Hey all. I'ma newbie with a lot of weight to lose and on my doctor's advice i've started on the Low GI diet, but i'm struggling.
I have serious emotional/mental issues around food and my weight has largely come about because of them, massive portions, sneaking food from the cupboards and binging on it, eating even when not hungry. I've hidden the extent of the problem from my family for years but i'm admitting to it now, or trying to, and have sought professional help.
My problem right now is i'm so used to the huge portions and constant eating from my old lifestyle that i'm gnawing-the-walls hungry constantly. I'm severely at risk of blowing the whole thing not even a full week in, what can i do to ease this until i get used to normal portions?
It doesn't help that if i'm hungry for too long i get a horrible hollow gnawing pain in my stomach and back of my throat, the doctor said it's probably a hiatus hernia but despite me prodding for more info has never suggested anything by way of treatment for it.
When the urge to eat hits i usually go for the fastest thing i can so i could do with a ready supply of things i can go to quickly.
Sorry if this is disjointed, i'm almost going crazy
I've read about food addiction and i'm seriously starting to wonder....
