Hello All-
I am a terrible lurker on this site. I love reading all the posts for motivation but I never feel comfortable with posting or asking for help.
Well that really hasn't been much of a help, so I am really going to try to take in any help I can get with people who have been there and done that- so here I am, stepping out of my box
I have been counting calories for about two weeks and have done pretty good with staying under 1800 cal/day. My issue is I freak out if I get hungry and feel like I can't eat anything or I will mess up my numbers and then I just spiral out of control from there. I find the worst time for this is between breakfast and lunch for me. This has always been the case where I feel awful (headache, dizzy, anxiety, shakes) around 10:30ish. I have been tested for low blood sugar, thyroid etc to try to explain these sharp drops I get and nothing ever comes back to explain what is happening to me.
I am trying to eat snacks every couple of hours to make sure it isn't a blood sugar thing but I must not be eating the right things because it is still happening. I don't know what I am doing wrong
does anyone else have this problem or suggestions to try to make it go away. As soon as I feel it coming on I just totally freak out and often shove food in my face to make it go away (usually carbs!). It is so frustrating, any suggestions would be really great!!
Thanks for listening!
