What gives you head hunger?

Besides the obvious ...refined sugars and "bad" carbs, not enough protein makes me have head hunger. I have found that I do well with about 80gm protein each day.
Next.......

PMS, boredom, anxiety, certain smells, visual reminders of food I used to eat, evenings in general, all contribute to head hunger.

Anxiety is a big trigger for me. I've learned new ways to cope ( and take my vitamin X)...so that isn't as BIG of a trigger as it once was.

When I get alone time...which is infrequent...that was when I would dive head first into food.

Now I keep sugar free popsicles around and it usually works. If I still have head hunger...I go right to my hot black tea.

What is vitamin X?  I am dealing with a lot of anxiety right now and while I am not eating, I am trying to combat the anxiety.

Xanax maybe?

xanax it is

tv commercials are bad , and who in this country needs a forth meal

and think about Wendys  the owner dies of a heart attack and the daughter  is obese guess they eat to much of there own food

try to keep busy , keep your hand working knitting is good it is hard to eat while knitting

TV commercials make me have head hunger. French fries,pizza,wings,hoagies! Ughhh.....and not only I shouldn't eat these things...I physically can not get them past my lips! Today makes one month post-op! Yayyyy me!

Sometimes I wish I had a tube connected to my esophagas so that I can just eat whatever and it would just come out that tube into a trash bag.  

Grody, but true!
