Just a quick question to all you other sufferers
I am wondering if this is PCOS related, or if I possibly just need to listen to my body more. Now, bear in mind that this doesn't happen to me every day...BUT....
Sometimes I get really hungry, and my mind tells me that I shouldn't be hungry. For example, today I had a small Subway sandwich. About three and a half hours later I was hungry again. I was GOING to eat some canned peaches (lite, and drain the juice of course..), but opted to eat something that I felt would fill me up more, because I had visions of myself eating this fruit IN ADDITION to the muffin that I decided to eat instead. Now I know muffins aren't the best choice, but I DID account for the calories. About half an hour to an hour later I was HUNGRY again...I mean what's the deal? I had a small bowl of Cheerios (whole grain)...and I was satisfied...but now here I am three hours later and I am STARVING AGAIN. I am concerned because at this point I have consumed nearly 1200 calories today.
I weight about 335, so I know I require more energy than the average woman, but days like this seem just SO ridiculous...do you guys think I need to just listen to my body and eat, or is my body tricking me into thinking I am hungry? I heard people with PCOS (since they have so much insulin in their blood), it often makes them hungry. Mind you, I am HUNGRY, not just WANTING food, you know?
I know I've babbled for a while now but I was just hoping some of you had some similar experiences....I mean now that I type it all out, it DOES seem realistic that I'd be hungry three hours later...but I don't know...
Any thoughts???
