Eating only when hungry

[Tenuho]

Does anyone eat only when hungry?

ive noticed latley i cant over-eat anymore....i would eat loads before but now i have to let whatever ive eaten be digested properly or else if i eat something else ontop it will just make me feel bad...

when i was younger i used to eat loads of crap food was a major source of pleasure i cant believe ive gone from that to this....now its just like oh my body needs fuel *eats an apple*...then wait forever until my body calls again...

Yeah - I almost always only eat when hungry.

Sometimes, not even then!

If I'm planning to workout - sometimes I'm hungry and hour beforehand, but it's "too late" - I need to be really empty when i exercise or I feel a bit of an upset tummy.

Sometimes, I could give into hunger, and if someone presented me with a lovely salad and was doing the dishes, it'd be on! But the thought of preparing and cleaning up is too much - so I'll wait till morning and just go to bed!

Once or twice, there's been something I planned to eat before leavign work, and went ahead and ate it even though I wasn't hungry, and I really regretted it. Nothing horrible, just a feeling of "ick - don't want to do that again" better to let the food rot at work or trudge home with it than do that again!

This is something I am moving towards. I have a tendency to just eat eat eat since, going raw. But, now am wanting to listen to my body better and only eat when hungry and not past dark.

It really varies - probably on average 5-6 times a day.....when I eat fruit, I'll usually have about 3-4 nectarine, or 1-2 pounds of cherries, or 2 mangoes. So it's like a meal - but maybe a snack???:confused:

Then again - sometimes at my desk I make a salad for lunch, eat super slow as I'm working (posting!) and then make another....was it 2 meals or just one? I'm literally eating salad for 2 hours sometimes!
