This week, I had a lot of trouble with my hunger. I would eat something, sit for a bit, then become so mentally hungry that I wouldn’t be able to think about anything else.
I realized this stemmed from issues with blood sugar. I was eating foods with added sugar like cereal, fruit bars, and granola bars, and while these foods at first don’t seem that unhealthy, the sugar was throwing me off a lot and making me think I was hungrier than I actually was.
So this week, I decided to try something else. I was going to cut out all added sugar. Of course I’m not going to cut out all sugar (because I like fruits) but I was going to make sure the carbs I ate were satiating. Oh my god, today was like night and day. I’ve eaten half the cals I usually would eat at this point and I’m satiated. I’m not restricting at all; when I’m hungry, I eat. When I’m not, I don’t, but I’m also not uncomfortable. AND my mind is clearer. I don’t feel as anxious.
I’ve been so frustrated recently, but today has actually been really good. It’s reminded me that I just need to put in the effort to make these choices, and things will work out.
