And this is new to me. I’ve always struggled with my weight and have a long history with overeating and compulsive bingeing. I’ve never relied on my body’s hunger cues before because I’ve always blanketed everything with more food than I need. However, recently I’ve been working on building a healthy relationship with myself and food, and a “side effect” of that has been weight loss (about 1 pound a week) for the past 8 weeks. In the beginning, it was super easy to stay on track and eat mindfully, but now I’m CONSTANTLY feeling hungry. The past two weeks, my stomach is always growling and I feel ravenous. With that being said, I’m not restricting what I eat. My goal is not to be at a calorie deficit always, and there are many days I definitely over eat. And I’m okay with that. I balance it out, but not drastically. I’ve been noticing I’m slowly eating more because I feel so hungry, and I’m afraid it’ll derail my progress. How can I also build a new, healthy relationship with my hunger cues, and is it normal to feel hungry all the time? I promise, I most definitely eating enough.
Example of what I eat on an average day:
Coffee with ~90 cals creamer
Whole wheat sandwich with smoked Gouda, ham, and spinach (~300 cals. I use 60 cal-per-slice bread)
Half an apple. Two cups green tea
Whatever I want for dinner (I don’t really keep track of calories here). Last night was a big bowl of rice and homemade teriyaki chicken with veg. And then 10 pieces of sour stick candy at 150 cals.
