okay, I cant seem to stop picking on food today....

I have a fairly basic routine every day Monday through Friday because of work.  I have a schedule when I eat, when i drink protein, take vitamins, etc etc.  I generally eat the same things every day because its just easier.

However today, it seems like I cant stop picking on stuff.  Its all healthy mind you... like a bite of beef jerky here, or a bite of cheese there.... Whats wrong?  Maybe its head hunger?  Is my body asking for something?

what do you think?

 appears we had surgey about the same time, well within a week of one another.  I had this problem yesterday and I blamed it on getting too hungry but I am having it again today and mine is not all healthy.  Best of luck to us both, hope we can work through it,.

being low on vitamin D can fuel your desire for food. I discovered that via personal experience.

It could be an underlying emotional issue. I found that out the hard way too. Afterall, you have spent your life relying on food and now its suddenly taken away. So, it can have an emotional impact.

Do you journal your food intake?  When you have to write everything down and put the carb grams, fat grams, calories, protein grams - it helps slow you down.

Also try drinking water or decaf fluids.  Often our body is trying to tell us it needs hydration and we think we need food.

All those bites add up and can waken the carb monster in us.  It is also so easy to take in a few hundred calories and if your not logging everything - you can be unaware of it.

Best wishes.
