Hi everyone,

I'd like to apologize beforehand cos I know this is gonna be one clumsy post.

About 3 years ago, I started getting these intense hunger pains when I wake up in the morning. Sometimes during the night even. I'd wake up in the middle of the night, with this pain in my stomach, hunger. As soon as I eat something, the pain disappears, and I go back to bed.

Since I started LCing, these hunger pains became less frequent, until recently.

Yet I still get these URGENT NEEDS for food when I wake up every morning. No longer hunger pains but if I don't eat something immediately, I'll get shaky & lightheaded, then start to sweat seriously.

I've always thought that my problems might be psychological cos I'm a stress-eater. Plus I binge from time to time. Maybe I'm just a morning-bingeing person?

Yesterday afternoon, I practically ran to the fridge after I woke up from my nap. I ate 1/2 a spring chicken in less than 3 minutes. Then I felt "normal" again & I slept for another hour.

This morning, I got this "extreme urgent need" for food again. I tried to ignore it at first. Yet I became lightheaded after a couple of minutes. I tried to focus on brushing my teeth but I gave up. As soon as I ate something (eggplant & chicken), I felt better but sleepy again. I went back to bed & slept some more.

9 outta 10 mornings, I go straight to the kitchen the second I wake up. It's like I'm on auto-pilot or posessed!?

Do u guys think that my problem is medical or psychological?

I tend to get sleepy after a meal, too.



A year ago (Sep 01), I had a GTT (I drank this sickening sweet thingy. Then the nurse came & took my blood a few times.). The doctor told me that my readings were a bit high (Is that called a pre-diabetic finding?). He said I have to watch my diet carefully or I'll definitely become a Type II diabetic. I didn't watch my diet. I must have eaten like 200lbs of sugar last year.

My dad and both his parents all have diabetes, Type II.

I eat between 1650kcal to 2500kcal a day BTW. I'm losing about a pound a month.

I thank u all in advance.
