It's something I want to call, the bottomless pit.

I eat something healthy, but I'm not satisfied. Then I eat something unhealthy. Still not satisfied.

Am I even hungry? Am I trying to stay awake? Ugh this is so hard! :(

My brain is trying to tell me something but I'm too dumb to comprehend what it's saying!

HappyCake, I'm sorry to hear you're feeling this way, but please don't be sooo hard on yourself!!! You're not too dumb; you're paying attention to what your body wants; you're just not sure what. What types of food are you eating??? It can really be very difficult to focus when you are never satisfied whether you eat something healthy or not. What are some of the dishes you enjoy??? Maybe you need to find a favorite healthy dish that you enjoy, & then go from that point on. Please hang in there, & keep your head up!!! I hope everything will work itself out very soon. :-)

Thanks adrienne :) I guess I just had a mini freak-out from the changes that are going on in my body. I've never had these feelings before, so it's weird to experience it. O__oYou're absolutely right, though. I'd rather finish off a large plate of healthy dishes than have to start from square one!

You're sooo welcome HappyCake!!! Always remember: Change takes time. We didn't learn our bad eating habits overnight, & we're not gonna learn healthier ones overnight either. Your body is trying to adjust to the changes your making, so hang in there, & just take it one day at a time. Keep your head up mamacita!!! I believe in you!!! YOU CAN & WILL SUCCEED AT DOING THIS!!! :-)

I get that feeling some days. Try adding more water. It seems like when I am doing really well with the pounds coming off, the next week I feel like I have a bottomless pit. You have to be strong. Try finding other things to do. Boredom plays a big part in it. Hope this help. Just more it one meal, one step and one day at a time.

I know! I was doing so well on sunday and monday, then all of a sudden, the "munchies" started to overwhelm me for the next few days! I don't know what was up with that. And yep, I do start mindlessly eating when I'm bored, too. I'll probably have to distract myself with painting my nails or something. Thanks!
