Are you hungry or is it your brain???

I know this is not anything new, but to me it's a light bulb moment!!! Am "I" hungry or is it just my mind??? Now before eating I have to think about it. Am I really hungry or is it all in my head? So when I open the fridge and grab for something, I stop close my eyes and think, is it real or in my head? I have stopped from grabbing many things I shouldn't. When It is hunger I stop again and ask myself should I eat this or this? making wise good nutritional choices. No I'm not perfect and when I really want something, like the new Truffle concrete from DQ, I have one bit and give the rest to hubby. I find now that most all of the time, sweets don't appel to me any longer. :thumbup: Gotta love it!!! My holes are healed and I'm finally walking without any pain at all! I'm so blessed, and soooo thankful! every morning before I rise, I place my hand on my tummy and thank God for this blessing! ya call me corny, but I am thankful! Wishing everyone here a smooth and educated journey! What have you learned today????

I, too, am just really gateful to have had this procedure...I'm still not hungry at all!! Before all this I always heard the way to tell the two types of hunger is by thinking of eating a food you dont really care for...if you are truly hungry you dont care what it is but if its head hunger you just have to have that one perfect thing! Good luck, Cali
