Hungry after I eat....

Has anyone dealt with this? Or know any good tips or resources to look into? My friend has me Google researching sports performance anxiety and cognitive distortions after pointing out that before every race I freak out pretty bad.

OCR/Mud Run Club
I have barely seen these mentioned on the forums and was wondering who else does them fairly seriously...a lot of people seemed to be focused on other types of training/nutrition than I am.

Breaking the Plateau
My fitness journey began in July 2012. To date I’ve lost 32 pounds, close to 6% BMI, and over 35 inches. I am 5’8, 196lbs and around 32%BMI. I could easily stand to lose another 20-30lbs and 10% BMI to be considered healthy by the people that determine those things. My philosophy is changing my lifestyle so that I can…
