You must stay ahead of hunger! MUST READ!!

I've done it all , and it all is true !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm always suspicious when someone says that *everyone* must *do* anything. I know what works best for me. Based on my experience.

And as someone who tends to compulsively overeats and binges, it was so important for me to learn to *be* hungry. To just be hungry. And to realize that I wasn't going to die. That if I hadn't planned well, and found I was hungry and all I could find was McDonalds...well, would waiting an hour until I got home kill me? Usually not. And to learn that there would be enough food to satisfy my hunger, even if I ate slowly. And that I could get a small serving of something *and go back* if I was stil hungry. I was obsessed with food and hunger. When I tried to eat 6 small meals a day, and it drove me up a wall...thinking about food 6 times a day just fed my obsession.

But, there are people for whom this isn't their struggle. Some people out there skip meals and then gorge. Some people have huge, natural appetites. Some people love pecking throughout the day.

I understand that my experience isn't shared by everyone. So my solutions won't work for everyone.
