Hungry? Starving? Full? Whats the Difference?
So, being on the Sacred Heart diet has got me thinking. I am hungry all the time. Partly because I have a thousand meetings this week, but also because I just cant eat that many fruits and vegetables. There have been points where I was starving, but I havent cheated. Why? Mostly because I am committing to doing this diet thing this week, but also, because I am tired of being fat, and its not going away on its own.
This is the realization I have come to: Its ok to be hungry. Hungry used to bug the hell out of me. I just didnt like it. Sort of like how I have to have the third lid down, because I know no one touched it. (Does that make me strange?) Even a bit of hunger would get me so off focus that all I would be worried about was satisfying that hunger.
But this week, I have been oh so hungry. And, life has gone on. I have been able to think properly. I havent died. I havent been depressed. I have been able to exercise. It turns out, thats its ok to be a bit hungry.
What about full? Full to me, used to me completely not hungry for a long time. Sometimes, full meant actually feeling like my stomach was completely full. But, this week, full has been barely not hungry. Just enough to not feel hunger pains any more. And, again, I am ok. I enjoyed my meals (sort of), and I have had good energy.
Moving forward, now, I am going to be a little hungry as I try and lose weight. And full is going to be just not hungry. Now, if I could just learn what a proper portion was, I would be perfect…
