Re: question about hot flashes and hunger

[Guest guest]

I get hungry when I am tired as well. It's frustrating because I can be aware of the fact that i am more hungry than usual, and know that it's because of fatigue... but i'm still hungry. i dont know the " right " solution. 

i tend to honor my hunger because to ignore it is uncomfortable, emotionally and physically. and then to get some rest as soon as i can.best,abby

 

It might make you feel better to just eat something light, but also

recognize that you're eating because you're tired.  I've had an issue

with eating when tired or thirsty, and sometimes I can handle it

another way, but sometimes I just feel like I *want* to eat a little so

I try to be conscious of that.

I was having a lot of hot flashes over the summer and into fall, but

they seem to have slacked off lately.  I'll have to see if they

increase again when the weather gets warmer.  We keep our house pretty

cool in the winter.  I won't do replacement therapy, either.

Hi, My name is and I am new to this site. I tend to want

to eat when I am tired due to not sleeping well due to hot flashes. i

do feel hungrier when I haven't slept and the increased emotionality

doens't help. My question is do I honor the feeling of being hungry

when it is fatigue??? I try taking a nap but don't feel rested. Eating

doens't make me feel less tired. I have tried everything for hot

flashes, except hormone replacement which I won't do. I feel when I am

tired, I am hungry all day...is the body telling me it needs food or is

this emotional rather than biological hunger. Hope someone can relate

and offer clarity from their direct experience. Many Blessings to all.
