No matter how much I eat, I always feel hungry. I've had this for as.long as I can remember, I'm just used to the constant pain in my stomach. I find that when I get to a certain point when eating that my jaw hurts and eating just makes the pain worse. Is that how it feels when you are full, the pain you feel when hungry but much worse? I am very confused by this and don't understand it at all.
I only recently had the thought that my jaw hurting and the stomach pain getting worse was being full because I don't know how it's supposed to feel when full.
I hope this makes sense. I am not good at explaining it. Please let me know if this doesn't make sense and I will try to explain it better.
Generally you don't feel pain from being full. Just maybe a bit bloated and slow at a certain point and then stuff like nausea if you keep going.
I'm kinda the opposite where I don't feel physically hungry really at all. I'm filling in a food diary lately where you score yourself after everything you eat from 1 (desperately hungry) through 4 (neither hungry nor full) to 7 (on the verge of exploding) and I never go below 4.
Have you thought about getting an app to keep track of your food?
I think they also have reminders which can be helpful as well :)
My therapist wants me to fill it in by hand, I think so I'll have a paper record when I'm done and can look back and be proud of how much ice cream I've eaten. Or something. She also draws a graph tracking my weight for similar reasons.
Aw great I'm glad she's being so helpful with this.
Sounds like a lovely therapist ^^
