Ok Here's One For You.....
I POSTED EARLIER THAT I HAD A BAD NIGHT LAST NIGHT......WELL IT SEEMS THAT DURING THE DAY I AM NOT HUNGRY AND SOMETIMES I ALMOST HAVE TO FORCE MYSELF TO EAT.
THEN IN THE EVENING WHEN IT IS TIME FOR DINNER, I EAT "MY FOOD" AND THEN AN HOUR OR 2 LATER BAM I GET THIS CRAVING AND IT IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL. ANY IDEAS ON WHAT I CAN DO FOR THAT? |
Eating
Hi Starr.
My thoughts are that something in triggering the eating attack. I know I am use to snacking whenever I sit down to the computer, like a smoker needs a cig right after a meal. Could this be? Dee :wave: |
While I'm a newbie to this all, I would suggest just keeping busy. Keep your mind occupied on something so you don't think about food. I like to crochet if I'm watching tv. that way my hands are too busy to eat anything (plus I really like it :)).
I hope this helps a bit. Good luck! Lesa :daze: |
WALK
If you could go for a walk after dinner, it might be a big help. You don't have to be real athletic if you don't feel like it - just a nice walk. It seems to reorient the mind.
When I quit smoking sometimes I would just have to take a shower to get my mind off cigarets because that was the only place I never smoked. Some days I was real clean! Also, if you aren't eating enough during the day your body may be telling you to feed it. |
I used to have this same problem. During the day I would be fine, then at home, after dinner, I would get just ravenously hungry - sometimes not long after eating. I would feel like I could easily eat anything that crossed my path. It was usually OK after having some olives, cheese, nuts, etc. Thankfully, after about a week, this has changed. I no longer feel this "urge" to eat after dinner. As a matter of fact, I rarely snack any more, whereas this was how I got through the evening.
I did notice that after dinner I was planning my meals for the next day. I'm sure that the power of suggestion thing must have been working - you know, thinking about food, what to make, what to have for snacks, etc. was making me think I was hungry. I no longer plan everything out the previous day - I'm better at keeping "legal" foods around if I feel the urge to snack. All in all, this urge after dinner has now gone away, thank God! Hopefully it will for you too!! Stick with it :roll: Theresa |
