    Default Tired of Eating!!!!

    No, this isn't an ED thread, so calm down anyone who thought that...

    So I've been eating healthier, watching what I eat, eating smaller portions more frequently.

    Argh.

    Now my metabolism is speeding up. Cool.

    It's speeding up to the point where all my body seems to want to do is eat. I'm eating fruits and veggies, some carbs, etc. Small frequent meals. And I'm still fucking starving after 30 minutes!

    WTF?! I don't want to eat ALL day!

    I've been the same way most of my life. It's tiring, it's often painful... I hate it. And I hate when people call me a "lucky bitch" for it too! Ugh.

    It's so expensive to live up to my metabolism's needs... I hate when it wakes me up. I hate when I eat a HUGE meal and then feel like I haven't eaten in 2 days.... only an hour later!

    I just had a bowl of carrots sticks and some ranch ( because I just need the flavor, sue me LOL). Let's see how long this lasts. I know you aren't supposed to keep yourself hungry, because your body will just start storing fat, but DAMN!. Im almost afraid to exercise because Im afraid Ill get MORE hungry.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I gained weight. I'm happy for some of it, but not all. Now I feel chubby. I want to feel just curvy now. But I never want to go back to being a stick. I also suppose this was a good lesson to teach me to eat better. I use to be like you LJ and ate tons of crap all the time and never gained weight. But then last year I got real sick and was in bed just about all day for a month straight. That month was all it took. My metabolism plummeted, and I can no longer eat anything I want.

    Le sigh.

    Well fuck.

    I've tried fruits, protein, absolute crap, etc. Even tried oatmeal this morning as I heard it's supposed to "stick to your ribs and keeps you full". Hungry before I even left for work.


    SOB....


    Will my body eventually calm down and adjust to my new eating habits? It's hard to function when you feel like you're ALWAYS dying of hunger...

    I AM quite proud though. I looked through my cabinets the other day.

    No junk food whatsoever.

    Kinda sad though; my body HATES fast food now that I'm eating hardly any. But that's good too I suppose.

    the other thing that works quite well with the fruit n veg = small handfuls of nuts (almonds mostly). i know they contain fat, but they're pretty good at shutting up the hunger beast.

    No Lucki, the weird thing is I HAVEN'T been exercizing and I'm afraid to because I can't handle the hunger pains.

    But I feel really accomplished right now. You all might or might not know that AZ doesn't get hardly any rain, and when we do it's only for about 2 months. Well, the first good rain just happened. I got all giddy, took the dog and ran around the block in the rain grinning like an idiot. Then I let the dog in and just stood in the rain with my eyes closed, listening and feeling. It was great. It put me in a great mood and I actually started pulling ALL of the weeds in the front yard. And now that I think about it, I forgot about being hungry.

    And I don't THINK that I have a medical problem causing excessive hunger, as this all started once I altered my eating habits.

    Hi Corsica, it's me again, poking my ravenous Floridian head in here to help a sister out. I don't if I mentioned that I eat like a piglet all day, every day. I am not skinny but not nearly as fat as one might envision considering how much I eat. Some of it is luck and good genes, but some of it is conscientious snacking. Since I am often hungry, I tend to pack food with me whenever I go anywhere (work, school, beach, even long errands) that will keep me full for a relatively long time, taste delicious, and not stuff me full of artificial junk. Now, some of the following suggestions are weird hippie foods that you might not like, but maybe you'll get a few ideas. I'm leaving out the obvious ones like apples and carrots, because you've already said those aren't cutting the proverbial... ah... hunger mustard (yeah, my metaphors rule).

    Without further ado:

    -Cooked sweet potato (they're good both hot and cold!) with butter*/flaxseed oil and brown sugar/sea salt

    -Almonds tossed with a little bit of olive oil, nutriitional yeast & salt/ tamari

    -Unsweetened applesauce with raw oats and brown sugar/ honey/ maple syrup

    -Plain yogurt and cucumbers with sea salt, fresh pressed garlic if you can handle garlic breath (kind of a slapdash tzaziki salad... I take this with me to school a lot and eat it during class because it is quiet, healthy, neat and and delicious)

    -Sweet yogurt (no artificial/ processed sugar!) with fruit and raw oats/ wheatgerm

    -Chickpeas or any kind of beans, really (canned is fine, as long as they're drained and rinsed) tossed with salad dressing (try a balsamic vinaigrette)

    -A bunch of low-sodium slices of turkey breast with a few cubes of cheese and some non-hydrogenated, whole-wheat crackers

    -A can of tuna with not TOO much mayo* (go ahead and use some; I will explain my feelings on fat in a moment)

    -LEFTOVERS (I know you said you don't like to cook, but in case you've started to cook, try making bigger portions of the dishes you're most excited about, and revisit them later)

    *I am of the belief that natural fat is good for you, because it carries flavor, which helps (psychologically) fill you up. I think that fat-free versions of naturally high-fat foods are bunk, i.e. margarine, miracle whip, salad dressing. Just use a little bit of butter or some real olive oil. It's good for your skin and your brain and your taste buds, and you won't want to use as much. I also notice that I stay fuller for longer if I use real fat instead of fake fat. Seriously.

    lol marijuana

    and to add: when I want a snack that will keep me full I eat horizon's cream-on-top plain yogurt with a little bit of honey and some berries. It's soo yummy and doesn't have that many calories either.

    I'm going to second teeth_of_the_hydra in telling you that foods containing fats keep you satisfied for longer. Protein also helps with this, since both protein and fats take longer to digest. You might want to look into eating low GI foods, as well, as they're meant to last longer in terms of satisfaction and stable blood sugar.

    Im always hungry.
    I actually really enjoy eating tho so it doesnt bother me and i dont get sick of it.

    Caffeine is good at suppressing hunger if u dont want to eat every time u feel hungry maybe drink coffee instead?

    It sounds like your body is starting to adjust to your healthy eating. Good for you! It took mine a good couple of months to adjust to it all. It eventually should just become habitual for you if you stick to it long enough. Discipline! Discipline! Discipline! But I still go through my times when (usually for a about a month) I really don't care about what I eat...then I go back to disciplining myself again. Now my body weight has pretty much stayed the same (give or take 5 lbs) for the last 3 years...and so have my eating habits. You're doing great, CF!

    forget if I've mentioned this before... but Brewer's Yeast pills are often helpful as a hunger controller.
