We have been touching on this topic in another thread, but I thought it might be interesting to see the groups response in a new specific thread.
How do YOU identify when you are really hungry? Actual hunger, not just wanting to 1. stuff feelings with food 2. use food to improve your mood (usually after something or someone upset me). You all know the rest of the list.
How do those with modified stomachs identify hunger? The same way? What is the actual feeling you feel 1. When hungry and 2. When full.
My other BIG changes are that I have a ton of self imposed rules. Like I have to sit down to eat, not in front of the TV and eat when I eat. No grazing, if I am grazing I have to take it to my table. I am trying to eat when hungry and stop when full. I read that the signals are subtle. And I eat when I am totally NOT hungry, going to change that.
I am hoping the behavioral cleanup will keep my regain to nothing (not sure that is possible) or to barely anything.
