SOO I have been driving myself mental lately and I'm pretty sure a lot of you might have a similar problem so any advice/tips would be helpful.
I live my life bascially just anticipating meals. I go to bed at night getting anxiety about some type of circumstance that may make one of my meals slightly less enjoyable.
Like, oh, friday's supper will be rushed, but I am so looking forward to Saturdays breakfast. Oh, now I can't wait until Sunday's lunch, that should be an awesome one. YAY all of monday's meals should be good and relaxing.
I am literally excited RIGHT NOW about eating beef 4 days from now. WTF is wrong with me?! Why can't I think about anything else?? I'm not deprived, I eat so many veggies I fill myself up like a damn whale, but I enjoy the act of eating wayy too much!! I don't binge, I don't do cheat meals, I don't eat out, I don't crave that stuff, I have no desire for it.
I anticipate large portions of cauliflower ... seriously.
I want it to not matter. I want to live my life without centering EVERYTHING around godamn food!!!
hahahahah!!! I do the SAME thing...'Tis the life of fit girls...**sigh**
I dont think there is anything we CAN do about it...our diet makes up for about 80% of our progress....so we have no choice but to think about it often..hahah...well thats my rationalization anyway ...all that we do would go to $hi+ if we threw our diets away..this is one of the many sacrifices we make to achieve extraordinary results..I think I can live with it
I set reminders on my phone and in my outlook email to eat at certain tmes and I have found it's helped decrease my watch the time so I don't miss a meal stress. Although, i forget to turn my phone on on the weekends sometimes so I miss it =/

I was just thinking the same thing! When I am done one meal, I start thinking about the next...I just started cooking dinner and cant wait to eat it!
I think on a certain level, its to be expected with a fit lifestyle BUT I dont think it should consume all your thoughts...but I havent figured out a way to stop it
You know-- I used to be like this too... until I started working with Olesya. But it was because I wasnt eating enough and my tummy was growling... of course I was going to think about food.
But I am proud to say I rarely ever think about food anymore... at least not until I notice I am late for my next meal!

I was like this when I was dieting for a lonnnnnggg time for comps but now I am eating enough and a large variety of different foods I never think about my next meal....
Well what do I do if I'm already eating enough and that's not the problem?? Why is my appetite INSANE 24/7?! I wish that appetite was directly tied with metabolism so it was like ohh, she's a really hungry girl so she needs to eat shit tons... Sometimes I wish my food tasted nasty so I was mentally okay with it actually being finished. Now it's like efff NOO i finished my food, time to panic.
Is it breakfast time yet?
