I hate days like this
Most days I am good about what I eat and get in my 3 meals and 3 snacks - well today is one of those days where I can't get enough to eat! And NOT head hunger (I have been able to tell the difference for a while now and usually listen!) but I just want to eat and eat - about every 2 hours I am feeling the need to eat something - now I am doing my best to make it something protein based and healthy but it is still frustrating! And yes - I am getting in plenty of water.
I am assuming that I am not the only one that has days like this?

I agree about the weather - this sudden change has me all messed up - I want to eat more and exercise less. I've been really pushing myself to get more proteins in to keep satisfied, but I haven't exercised since coming home from the cruise. My support buddy is kicking my butt, tho, and telling me to get back on the bike, so I'll do that tonight!

Liz,
Thanks, because I had one of those days yesterday and like you said, it was not head hunger, as I know the difference and I was not looking for comfort, it was my body feeling empty and wanting food. . . I tried tricking it by drinking more water, even decaf coffee/tea, but nope I was hungry. . . I'm thinking that it is the change in season and maybe our bodies wanting more "fat" as I remember back to other times in life, this is the time of year with climate changes and all. . . so perhaps there is a reason for it that lies beyond food demons and has more to do with the "normal" need for the seasonal padding. Just me venturing a guess here. . . Yes, we need to keep it healthy. Thanks for expressing your thoughts, as I really kind of wondered where this came from and your thoughts make me think and well, you see where my thoughts took me.

Hey Liz,
I can totally relate to what you are saying. I had one of those days yesterday. The only thing that I could attribute it to was that it was considerable colder here in Philly. I often wonder if our deep animal instincts don't kick in and we need food to get ready to hibernate. Unfortunately, I fed my hunger yesterday, and paid the price.
I am going to try keeping some protein bars and beef jerkey in my purse. At least they are safer and healthier than cookies and crackers.
