Today I drank my Protein shake for Breakfast. I didn't get hungry and it was going on noon and I had an emergency come up that I had to deal with before I could eat. Next thing I know it's 12:15 and I am dizzy and shaking. I knew I was hungry. I sipped my Water until I could eat my lunch.

Have any of you had the issue of hitting over hungry before you realize you are hungry at all?

Yes actually, it's happened to me a couple times. The worst part is, if I go way beyond hungry into truly over-hungry, my band tightens up on me making eating a slow difficult process.

that is why I eat every 4 hours whether hungry or not just in case. I also keep a shake and Snapple in the car in case I get stuck somewhere. I have diabeties also (it's getting much better ) so it is also there when I get to low. I ve really learned how to set myself up for the emergancys.

i always carry a baggie with a laughing cow cheese wedge and 4 trisket crackers with me...and a protein bar.....after having that happen 2 times I got scared and learned the hard way....good luck

I bought a few protein bars for back up. Have yet to have one but they are there if I need them. Don't want to make poor food choices because I am hungry.

i am like line, dee and meg, i have protein bars in my purse and crystal light singles in there also..so i am (never without). i do try to make sure i eat something so i dont get feeling like you did. sometimes its hard to (eat when things come up). its a bad feeling. just be careful. if you are hungry, eat something. hang in there

This was a scary experience. I work in a school and with what I was dealing with I literaly couldn't get to something to eat for a little bit. Thankfully before leaving my office I had picked up my Water bottle. I so felt like I would pass out I was shaking so bad. Thankfully, as soon as I wraped things up I was able to get my lunch and that help, just had a bad head ache later.

Gotta get better about eating a snack at 4-5 hours if I want it or not.

This has happened to me once or twice. The first time, I was busy and didn't feel hungry( !, a new feeling!) Then when I realized I was hungry, I couldn't decide what to eat. So, I went to my standby tuna sald wrap and ate about 1/4 of the salad only, not the wrap.

I now do carry a protein bar and water with me. I have now become one of those people who carry a water bottle with them wherever I go!

I have found myself becoming dehydrated several times and this causes me to find it hard to take solid food.

I learn something new evry day!

This is why we eat on a schedule. Over hungry means overeating... bad. The protein bars can be a godsend.... even a bite or two will help. Make time for you. You are important too,and no good if you pass out from a sugar low!
