I was so proud of myself yesterday. I was even under my 2000 calorie alotment. WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. It was an awesome feeling. I tried to eat a lot of foods that would fill me up and not make me feel so hungry.
But the thing is, is that I don’t eat when I’m hungry. I rarely have felt hungry until yesterday. Because usually I’m eating everything in sight, and snacking. All day long.
See, my problem is that I LOVE food. I just LOVE the taste of it. I eat even when I’m not hungry because I love the taste of it.
So what is so frustrating, is that everyone will tell you, “oh, just eat less calories, stop when you feel full”. Ok yeah, I feel full. But that doesn’t mean I stop eating. I feel like a lot of people can control that ‘hunger’ feeling. Like, once they are done eating, and they feel full, it shuts off and they can go on about their day and not even THINK about food.
Not true for me, so it SUCKS.
It truly is like an addiction.
I know addiction. I’m a nurse, and for a year I worked in a drug and alcohol detox facility. I saw it all the time.
I can’t judge anyone on their addiction, and I certainly can’t put mine above everyone else’s, BUT, I do feel that it is harder to kick this food addiction because you need to eat. Every. Single. Day.
You NEED to eat to survive.
- You don’t need Alcohol to survive.
You don’t need Heroin to survive.
You don’t need Opiate medication to survive.
One day at a time.
Starting today on a strong note =).
