Long story short, I began working out more and eating better and lost 30 lbs. Woohoo. But I still have a journey ahead of me. Ideally I would like to drop another 50 or so.
The success I have seen is a testament to how poor the decisions I was making were. However, I don't know how to break through this plateau.
The big issue: I love food. I crave food. I feel sick and "foggy" if I don't eat when hungry.
I am not looking to stop eating, I just want to figure out how to combat the negative effects of normal hunger so I can have better discipline in terms of snacking etc.
How did you overcome the cravings? I swear I could eat 25 pounds of lettuce and not be satisfied until I eat some bread/ meat, salt, sugar etc.
I get that it is a matter of portion control to a degree, but most of my cravings are for things that are of little to no nutritional value but my brain won't be satisfied until I succumb.
I used to think food addiction was poor self control, but I really can't think of a better way of explaining it. I genuinely feel what I would equate to withdrawal symptoms and am ashamed by this. (I realize I shouldn't be, but its irrational). Any tips? Thanks in advance.
