Shedding for springCategories: Alchemy
Im learning a lot at the moment. I am losing excess baggage and losing excess weight too.
I learned quite a while ago that I have trouble recognising the difference between being hungry and being thirsty. I often think I am hungry, and look around for a snack to eat, but actually I havent drunk any water all day and and what I am really feeling is thirst. I know this in my head, but it is still really difficult to translate it into action. I find it quite surprising and a bit scary that I cannot recognise my own needs correctly, and that I make rather bad choices in my attempts to fill the wrong one.
Oh well. I will just keep trying I guess!

I used to have the same trouble. Now I drink a lot of water! I still want to nibble when I am bored, though. That is a really difficult habit for me to break.

i saw dr. oz on oprah talking about some ridiculously large percentage of americans having the same problems, and that being one of the major attributes to the obesity problem. that in this modern world where almost anything is attainable at any time, we confuse our needs and wants. we cant recognise them anymore.
but awareness is the first step to solving a problem. good for you.
ive been drinking a heap of water myself. not characteristic, but a happy new habit of mine. and the weight has been shedding itself off. now i can discern the difference between thirst and hunger. a good feeling. -

Know what you mean about not understanding your body & its needs.
Know i should drink water when my brain is saying ‘food’; but still haven’t managed to do it.
Am also still constantly puzzled by my hormonal ups & downs & still can’t figure them out.
And there’s all the mysterious aches & pains that flare up & disappear.
Wish i knew myself better…And take care of yourself too, hon. Never good to lose too much; physically, mentally & emotionally…
