I am just having a heck of a time lately determining if I am hungry, and when I am full.
I just want to eat and eat and eat. I'm pretty sure it has to do with TOM, as that is drawing near, but OMG, all I want to do is eat!
For all intents and purposes, I am "technically" off phen. Sure I still have some and I won't hesitate to jump right back on them if the scale starts moving the opposite direction, but I consider myself a non-phen user at the moment. I haven't taken it regularly for a while (couple months, maybe?), and I've never had food urges like this.
I just went into the kitchen to get another water, and it was all I could do not to eat a piece of bread. Just one little piece of bread. It looked so innocent, lying there, just a little loaf of white bread. But as soon as I would eat that one little innocent piece of bread, I know then I'd want something else, then something else, and so on. So someone tell me, please, how to shut off the cravings switch!
I've tried drinking water when I want to eat, all that does is give me a fish bowl belly, and still wanting to eat. I've tried not going into the kitchen after dinner, but that doesn't work, because my hubby snacks after dinner, and whatever he's having, I WANT.
I've tried painting my nails so I can't snack at night. I've tried chewing gum so I can't eat. I've tried using my whitening trays at night when I'm watching TV so I won't snack, but nothing really cuts the cravings. (yeah, yeah, except for phen.
)
So what do you do when all you want to do is eat?
Thanks.
