I thought I could overcome the starvation mode on my own, but apparently not. It happened again. I thought I only felt starved like that during the week before TOM. Apparently, this is not the case. I was so hungry I craved everything in site. What am I doing wrong?
When I leave the house where other food exists, I start craving everything. Of course, if I stayed home, i probably would be okay, because I have all my food prepared like salad, soup, and boiled eggs on hand in the fridge.
What is wrong with me? Now today I feel okay, but I haven't left the house yet. Help! Anyone have suggestions? What do you do when you are starving and not at home?
A lot of times, when I'm really craving something, it usually means I'm craving something emotionally. Maybe you could try writing about what you're feeling? Do you feel more "free" away from home? Out of control?
Also, why not split whatever you're craving with a friend or something? Have you tried taking that food BACK HOME with you, to see if you still want it?
Are you "starving" as in super hungry or "craving", which is more a brain thing than a stomach thing?
What are the circumstances under which you feel this impulse? Is it a social thing? Like when you are out with others, you want to have social foods? Or is it more a stress thing? Like when you are out, traffic makes you nervous so a Burger billboard calls your name?
I prepare in advance, either eating something before I leave and then of course then it depends how long I'm gone for or taking something with me like, celery sticks, cucumbers, multi-grain rice cakes or a South Beach Cereal Bar.
I think I am super hungry after leaving the house. Maybe I didn't eat enough for breakfast (120-250 calorie range), but am scrambling juggling kids to get out of the house on time. I feel like if I make a full breakfast I start out with too many calories making the rest of the day hard to stay with in the calorie content I need to lose weight.
I am going to try and write down between each meal and during how I am feeling; am I full, lightly hungry, or starving. (I know somedays when I eat a little bit throughout the day I am less hungry if not hungry at all). Then I try to get everything done so I don't have to leave the house for the rest of the day. That way I can get housework, homework and dinner done for three kids.
Good idea fed-up to bring snack foods with me. Maybe I will make some in take along baggies prepared for the week. That would be good for me and my four year old. Maybe he won't say "I want to go to McDonalds." LOL Maybe I should leave the house after lunch. That way I am good and full. Any other suggestions.
I am scrambling kids to get them out of the house on time to school. But they walk to school. I'm not working right now because I broke my foot. I still push myself to get out of the house to do my errands. I am a morning person and try to get everything done before the crowds. I get more tired in the afternoon and don't feel like dealing with people. Maybe it is a mental thing. Maybe I am trying to make myself feel better. Now i'm confused...
Nope, I hear ya! I'd much prefer to scootch around in the moring and then have a nap in the afternoon!
Dratted how life interferes with my plans.
It doesn't really happen to me everyday but ... I'm pretty sure that it's worse if I don't watch that I've been eating properly. You know? that blood sugar drop in the afternoon?
I need help!
