Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 My daughter posted this on her profile and I thought is was a very good description of what happens to us to cause us to overeat. I am sure she won't my posting this. One thing that has come up in the last month is what I call and urgent need to eat...others call head hunger. But it happens, sometimes when I'm actually hungry sometimes not, but there is this incredible urge/need to eat...like I'll starve to death if I don't. I've had it off and on all my life. Sometimes I can ignore it sometimes not. The difference now is how much I can eat when it happens. Before it would be 3 slices of pizza, now it's maybe one. I've tried to explain this feeling to people...that I don't get the " I'm full " signal until I'm very full, Also that it's not just that..it's that the " Im hungry " signal doesn't go away until I'm very full. Most of the time, most days...it doesn't happen or I can ignore it. I'm sorry it's back, but I'm so glad I have this tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
