In the Realm of Hungry Girls…

Stupid hunger games. You know when you think
“I shouldn’t eat that theres too much sugar in it” or
“I shouldn’t eat that its carbs” etc etc… Those are the good thoughts. It means your aware.
But what about when your mind is telling you to eat everything in sight because it thinks your starving it. I don’t feel like I’ms starving all of the time and when I do I can say as sure as the sky is blue that it is not real hunger. It is head hunger. I have read a book in the past called IN THE REALM OF HUNGRY GHOSTS and it was a great book to talk about head hunger and that little voice thats not really there.  I took all of the junk food out of my house because I knew I’d eat it knowing the consequences or not. I’d bust out the white bread and snack on it all day. I’d make a mini pizza and that would be my meal. I’d eat something covered in sugar and call it FOOD. I knew I would do this from old habits so I decided it was best to leave it out of the house completely. I have been doing good in that regard. I can honestly say I haven’t reached for anything truly bad. In fact, the only “bad” thing I have had would be oatmeal. And from what I have been hearing if I had to eat a carb, that is the one to eat. And since I make it with milk I get some protein in there too. A go to snack for me has been tuna wrapped in a shell of lettuce and I just chew chew chew. It is actually really good. I get that crunch feeling which I like, plus protein. I do add 1tbsp of light mayo to the whole can when I mix it for some fat and moisture.
Now what I am consumed with is the head hunger. I do everything I can to get rid of it. I fill up on protein, Ill drink water, I’ll drink tea, I go for a walk or do a workout inside. I do everything I can to move this along but it does not work. It is no use. I haven’t given in, but I have a fear that I will do so. I can’t wait to see Jan, the nutritionist at RJH again. I’m just waiting for an appointment.

I wish this head hunger will go away, but from talking to other WLS’ers they have all told me that it doesn’t go away. I am going to start writing about it each time it happens and see how that goes.

As for my bleeping scale…it still has not gone down. I have no idea what is going on but its been over a week. I’m not weighing myself until this next Friday which will be a week from the last time I weighed. I’m hoping for a big drop since I haven’t lost anything the week before. It is slow, but I know it will come off slowly. I am losing inches so I am doing good and right on track.
I just have to keep the faith!
