Eating when not hungry?

    I fell off the wagon this weekend. HARD. Chips and ice cream (it all started with indian food). And yesterday I wasn't hungry but I ate anyways because I felt like I should. Today I'm still not hungry and when I had lunch felt a little ill as a result. Like I ate so much over the weekend that I'm just physically full.

    So my question is, should I eat even though I'm not hungry? Or should I just not eat until I get hungry again (which will probably be tomorrow)?

    Sidenote: I'm so mad at myself for getting derailed this weekend!

    Do you normally eat when you're not hungry? If you do, then go ahead and stick with the norm. If you don't, then don't. I, personally, don't eat unless I'm hungry. I too find that if I have a bad slip and eat too much one day I tend to not be very hungry the next. I'll eat little somethings along the way but usually light options like broth soups or fruits, etc.

    ps - Try not to worry too much about the weekend, it's done and over - now you're OP and that's what matters!

    I'm rarely hungry - it's an issue - so I eat on a schedule. On the off chance that I am hungry, I just adjust the schedule.

    I think your body may be a little thrown, so just make sure that you're eating enough and eating "good" things and after a few days you'll be fine.

    And I second what Star said - it's over, it happened, now you're OP so don't worry about it
