MIND HUNGRY
Jul 10, 2011
One of the biggest challenges since I had surgery is being mind hungry. It's a habit I thought at one point I would not be able to conquer.I have thrown up several times because of it, and gotten along quite uncomfortable because of it. I am so infused in wanting to eat BBQ chicken, sausage, and mac & cheese, that I would rather gauge myself and throw it up later, just to get the food off my mind.
This is a horrible existence. My husband recommended that I write down how I'm feeling each time I think about eating.
I found that often, I am bored. I really have created a eatometer to gage whether I truly am hungry or just bored or disturbed by emotions.
My mind is so used to eating whenever I feel like it, so the thought of actually finding a new vice is hard and challenging.
I am glad that I have acknowledged this habit, now I just have to use the tools.
