Do you like feeling full? Not satiated, I actually mean physically full.
Ive grown to dislike feeling even slightly physically full. Its uncomfortable and unnecessary. I do often enjoy feeling satiated by eating foods I enjoy, that taste yummy, that have the right nutrients to fuel me, etc.
It was a slow transition away from the eating in volume mentality. The idea that you should eat a max volume of food for your allowed calorie intake just doesnt work for me. I do make sure to get plenty of fiber, but I tend to favor calorie dense foods to avoid constantly feeling full.
Just wondering what others thoughts are on this. It is such a contrast with my former eating habits. For decades I was physically overfull, often to sickness, daily.
For me, it depends on the day. Some days, I am very happy to just be satiated but there are those days (and I do have a major problem with binges), when I want to feel full and nothing else will do...although I try really hard not to give in to those desires. If I do eat until I'm FULL (not even stuffed, but just full), I always feel guilty afterwards. If I binge and I am beyond full...stuffed...then I not only feel terrible guilty but also physical discomfort.
But, luckily, on most days, I love to just feel satiated by whole, nutritious foods. It makes me feel good physically but also mentally and sometimes, if I'm lucky, even spiritually!
It actually makes me feel quite anxious, which is not good, but on the other hand it does mean that on the (very rare) occasions when I feel full I take to reflect whether I did actually over eat.
I have different awarenesses (sometimes) of different fulnesses: Sometimes I'll eat a big meal, where the size is mostly from veggies or salads, and that might make me feel fleetingly full but doesn't last.
If I ate something too carby, that makes me feel heavily full, and I try and avoid that.
If I ate mindlessly, like a box of chocolates for example, (wow, remember those days!) I could still get a whole box down before I registered full. I tend to eat much more consciously now, indeed more slowly, so satiety kicks in much more recognizably.
I LOVE feeling physically full and hate when I am hungry....
To tell the truth I don't think I can identify when I am not hungry...
If it was up to me I would eat all the time!!! I have cravings all the time too...
and if I start eating, I have hard time stopping...
I don't think I even know what to feel satiated mean...
If I could only learn that...
I wish I could control my eating better....
Feeling full sneaks up on me these days. I don't mind the feeling and I always quit eating when I get there. But I can feel full on half a bowl of chili.
Now "stuffed" is a different story. I haven't felt stuff in over a year now. That is just fine with me.
I love feeling full -- not STUFFED -- just full. My thing "back in the day" was to constantly graze, have a nice meal but 10 minutes later eat a bag of M&Ms, never felt hungry or 'done eating' you know? ? it's hard to explain LOL but now when dinner is done and i have a nice full tummy (but not fit to bursting) i feel replete and only need a cup of tea in the evening, no more grazing
I can't believe I'm saying this but I don't think I do anymore. I've been eating small/normal portions for three months now, and the sight of big meals has been making me feel a bit sick lately.
I used to enjoy it, being packed full of junk food. Eat til you physically can't fit anymore food in, that was satiety. Then when the smallest space in the tum clears, OMG! Starving!
Do you like feeling full?
That is just fine with me.
