Head hunger

I've been in a stall for 1 month now. I've been feeling sluggish, tired, no energy. I've been eating more and snacking.  Today I found out some of my blood results: Thyroid is off, meds need adjustment                                                               Potassium is excellent                                                               B12 is high 2,000                                                               Hgb is excellent at 14                                                              Still waiting on B1 and Iron So my question is, Why do I have head hunger? Can it be from not enough protein? Today I decided to end snacking and get in my protein first at meals. And drink my 60 oz. of water. OMG, I find myself looking for something to eat and I'm not hungry. I have not given into my head hunger today........But why is it there???? I know your not Doctors, but just looking for some help. Thanks, Kelly

CARBS ARE EVIL!!!!  They will stall you faster than anything.  Instead of snacking, go for a walk, use a piece of exercise equipment......I go for a walk with the dog or lay on the floor and play with her and do my leg lifts for the saggies!!!  If I'm still fighting it, I chew or suck on ice chips. Good luck -- they fixed the tummy not the head !!! XXOO

Thanks Barb, I'm going to fight this evil monster........I didn't give in yesterday, whew...One day at a time....... I wish they could of fixed our heads too. Kelly

HI...  I feel your pain.. lately I am watching the clock for the next time to eat... I hate it!! Head hunger cant be fixed with protien.. two different animals there.  One is your head and one is your pouch.  Pouch is smart and knows what it NEEDS but your head knows what it WANTS. You have to get on top of that head hunger .....( not easy )  I do find it passes.... but if you give in and feed yourself carbs you will create a vicious cycle of carb addiction.   So.... my only advice is ignore the head... I find when Im bored I tend to obsess more about food.   Rise above it.... youll feel better you did and find the scale moving again.    Good luck Hugs

LA,     Ya, that's me......Watching the clock and planning what I can shove into my mouth........God I hate it, it's evil.........     I did drink more water yesterday, I felt like I had water down to my ankles, swish, swish........     Yesterday I didn't give in, one day at a time.........I really want that scale to move again, plus I have a vacation to look forward to the end of June. Hopefully that alone will be a motivater....... Thanks, Kelly   

You can do it...youll feel so powerful when you get through it !!! Go over some old pictures....that will help  ! Hugs

Kelly...that head hunger is the pits!! I fight it everyday. Evenings are the worse.

You made it yesterday....one day at a time. You can beat this!! Hugs, connie d

Connie,    It is the pits.........Yes, one day at a time......I may consider seeing the bariatric physcologist, just to see what he thinks is going on in my head........ Kelly

Thanks Jen, Note to self: stay away from the evil carbs...........I swear they call my name........ Kelly
