hungry or not??

[WhiteBear]

this is very strange.... lately i noticed my body's been playing tricks on me.

when i'm hungry (so i thought i was) as in really really hungry, i go and make something to eat, as soon i start eating.. my body tells me I'm not hungry anymore.... whats happening? (these are like not eating for 5-6 hrs)

Could you be thirsty as your brain can mix the messages up.

Do you actually feel physically hungry or just think you should be as it's a usual mealtime.

Hi WB! Are you feeling stressed out or depressed? That can play havoc with eating patterns. Try smaller, more frequent snacks as opposed to making full meals - slow-release carbs that keep you going until the next meal, like porridge and bananas - and then a jacket potato with baked beans or cheese for lunch/dinner. Also, going out for a brisk walk can increase your appetite. Hope you soon get back into a healthy eating routine. x

hey icey, hope you are well.

thanks for the advice, yeah im always stressed out and feeling depressed nothing new there, but im trying to keep meself busy by taken up new hobbies etc.

i dont really have proper meals at all, so thats why when i feel hungry, my body probably telling me it only wants a snack not a full meal cos its so used to it. but i think i need to tell my body its proper meal time! lol

im not a big fan of bananas or porriges :-P anything else you can reccommend? xxx
