empty stomach

Why is it that I always feel like I have an empty stomach, like I need to fill it? It feels that way all the time, except for when I stuff myself to overfull. I can eat a good meal and 10 minutes later I want to find something else to eat. It's no wonder I gain weight so quickly when I am not controlling myself! Does anyone else always feel like this?

What do you do about it??0

Absolutely, but I feel better with that feeling than when I am uncomfortable from overeating.0

This equates to boredom in my life. Not just momentary boredom, but a lack of general excitement and a desperate need to add something fun into my routine.0

It could be that what you are eating isn't satisfying you or that you have a distinct craving for something and you are not dealing with that. Whenever I get a craving for something, I could eat all the food in the house but if I don't get that thing, I'll still be "hungry". I'm all about moderation and portion control so if there is something I feel like I have to have, I get it. (just got back from the grocery store where I got 1 cookie because I thought I was gonna die if I didn't have a cookie!! I am completely happy right now and even happier that I didn't make a batch of cookies and eat 36 of them!)0

I feel this way when I'm bored. I usually stuff my face when I'm bored with life in general. I sometimes can get around this by eating a meal filled with carbs. Whether its a couple of grilled cheese sandwiches or some other type of sandwhich. the meal usually includes lots of bread or pasta. I may go over on my carb intake for the day but at least I haven't gone off the deep end and start binging like crazy.0

I definitely feel like that! I've been trying to eat less food at each snack/meal so that it all evens out over the day. I'm always really surprised how well drinking water works too, I can't drink it too quickly but I fill up a 1L bottle and drink that over an hour or so and the feeling usually goes away.
I've noticed though in the last few days, I haven't been getting that feeling as much, I wonder if it has to do with the fact that I'm not binging/ over-filling myself as much as I used to.
Good Luck!0
