Hi everyone
I was about something that was discussed in group last week and thought Id ask for your opinions. I suppose is basically about hunger? Do you really feel proper hunger whilst in abstinence? One woman reckons that she really does but we all said that you just 'think' you are hungry but that you're not really.
So I've put it to the test tonight and think that maybe she's correct. I normally have my packs at the same time every day and don't have any problem at all with hunger but yesterday I was late getting home and I was literally convinced that I was starving! I was almost panicky, well not quite but you know what I mean. So today I've left it even longer and honestly feel like I could eat a horse!
I really need to get to the bottom of these feelings because THIS is exactly how I feel when I'm about to overeat. When I pick up something I shouldnt in the supermarket to scoff in the car on the drove home, or when I've had a few drinks in the evening and am convinced I NEED food. It's almost like I feel desperate, manic almost. At the moment it's fine cause I can have my soup but back in the real world of food it's a different story.
I'm not so naive to think that this could solve everything but it could help?
Does any of this sound familiar or should I call for the men in white coats?
