Is this what extreme hunger feels like? I think I’ve eaten around 3500 calories today but I feel like a bottomless pit. It’s like, after eating 1200 calories at lunch, I don’t feel satisfied at all. In fact I feel just as hungry as I did before I started eating lunch. It’s like I didn’t eat at all, and my stomach feels empty. It’s been like that the whole day, despite eating something at least every hour. I just keep feeling as hungry as I did before eating and even as I finish eating, I’m thinking about when I’ll be eating next. It’s rather distressing…
When I was recovering from an ED and finally gave myself permission to eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, yes, I felt like that. It will stop eventually, I promise :)
Dania, 3500 isn’t extreme hunger… it is not as much food as you are thinking..ESPECIALLY for someone recovering. Extreme Hunger comes in at about 6-10,000 cals. I am in recovery and experience this inability to get full as well, but it does get better :) Have you visited the youreatopia website?
BauerPower – Yes, I think I meant more like is this ‘bottomless pit’ feeling what extreme hunger feels like. I agree that 3500 isn’t as much as I might think…I used to eat probably around 3000 before I started any kind of restricting. I have visited the youreatopia website, I’ve read lots of the articles and have been lurking the forums for quite a while :) I was just thinking that I’m going to finally post there and introduce myself!
