Are you drinking enough water? Often our brains confuse thirst for hunger. Also, belly full of water has less room for food. I'm a foodie too. One thing that made a huge impact on my life was finding that I had food allergies. I ovewhelmingly craved the things I was allergic to. Its another one of those weird says our brains and bodies get confused. Sometimes we develope a kind of addiction to certain foods. My daughter was the worst carb junkie until we took her off them for 60 days to check for allergy. She wasn't allergic but did find that after the break she didn't crave carbs anymore. I stopped buying things that weren't good for me. Every single thing I pick up in the grocery store goes through the questions is this good for me? How am I going to feel about logging this? I log EVERYTHING I eat. Before it goes in my mouth I consider logging it. How many calories? Are they good or crap calories? Avocado for example is high in fats and calories but it's a super food so it's ok. I had a really bad relationship with food. I ate cuz I felt bad then felt bad cuz I ate. It was this ugly cycle and one day I was like I'm sick and it's my fault. I don't want to be sick anymore. Its time to stop. So I did. I would be happy to support you if you'd like. Encouragers and accountability partners are invaluable.
