TLDR: Even though I'm full or not hungry, all I want to do is munch. I can practically taste different food in my mouth and all I can think about is food. How do I stop myself from going crazy?
I'm 24, 5'4 and got up to 100kg in July last year. Hitting triple figures freaked me out, and made me realise I had to get serious about losing weight and getting healthy. I tried keto for a month and a half, and I lost around 5kg, which I kept off. But all I could think about was the food I couldn't eat. My weight loss plateaued at 5kg for 2-3 weeks and I couldn't resist the food that I wsn't supposed to eat so I abandoned the diet.
Lost my enthusiasm for weight loss, but then started again in October, and joined the gym, hoping excercise would help. I was mostly swimming about 20 mins a week. However, I wasn't losing any weight, and my interest dropped and I stopped going.
Then in December, I went on holiday for a month, mostly to attend a wedding. I was walking around a lot on my holiday and this led me to lose another 3 kilos. Coming back in January, I was 92kg and maintained that until about a week ago - when I decided once again to get serious about losing weight.
This time I'm trying to go for a balanced diet and regular excercise. I thought CICO might help. I've also significantly lowered the amount of sugar I take in. I barely eat any chocolate or cake or cookies, etc. I tried going cold turkey, but keep falling off the wagon about every 3 days. Sugar is my kryptonite.
I'm trying to limit my calories in, and trying to eat healthier, and not as much junk food. I'm 8 days in and already down to 88.8 kg which is great. But all I can think about is food. I dream about food, I day dream and fantasize. I can practically taste the food on my tounge. Even a salad sounds delicious, as long as it means I get to constantly eat. I can't stop. I know I'm not hungry. I know I'm full. But all I want to do is constantly munch. I've tried chewing gum instead, which helps in the short term, but I found that I end up fealing hungrier later, and eat bigger portions. I'm not like this, when I'm not trying to lose weight. In fact, I often found myself not eating the entire day when I didn't think about losing weight. However, sugary foods were constant throughout the day.
Is it sugar cravings now? But why does any food seem so delicious when I think about it? And even if my food isn't tasty, or more that I need to eat, why do I constantly still want to eat. How do I stop thinking about food? HOW DO I STOP??? I'll go mad!
