Ugh, This Head Hunger Is A Bia!

I feel like I am failing and succumbing to head hunger. I'm not really hungry but I keep wanting to graze and snack on everything. How are you dealing with head hunger? Just the want to eat, not the need.

It's because you still have the habit of eating all the time. That will get better with time. Don't freak out just yet. lol

I'll admit, I've given in to my head hunger once or twice... Nothing tastes the same anymore. Sweets are too sweet, salty foods are too salty. I don't have the head hunger too bad anymore because I know nothing tastes as amazing as it used to. Maybe giving in is just the deterrent you need?

I've had a huge problem with head hunger. So much so that I chewed a chip up & spit it out just to get the taste. But since then I have had the realization that that's not going to help my craving for it, I would just want it more. I found drinking a lot of Water, keeping busy & chewing sugar-free gum have helped me out a lot with this.
