Tastebuds vs. Stomach

Jul 22, 2014

Another strange and fascinating realization - my taste buds want something, but the stomach isn't really all that interested! I've been feeling full and not hungry yet the desire to munch on something remains.  Just understanding this has made a difference.  One or two bites of something sweet about 7pm is all it takes to squash the craving; that and some self-talk and several large swallows of water!

As someone whose life revolved around food this is a major ah-ha moment. And now that I know this it will become easier to ignore, especially when I look at my weight record and see the steady progress.
