Hungry!

[Blessings]

I can't get full. Constantly nibbling. I don't think it is boredom or depression it's more like cravings. Even after a big dinner a short while later I am in the fridge and pantry looking. I never liked cottage cheese (texture) but now I crave it a couple times a day-cottage cheese and mandarin oranges. I really think I could live on it for a while. I want gummie bears (I keep a stash) I found some legal lemon drops. Fruity stuff. I eat my fruits maybe not enough veggies. Where's the beef? Love my homemade tumeric jerky. I wont even start on the pizza, maybe 3 times a week (+ or -). I had lost 30 Jan-March (now 220) then was diagnosed with Celiac and stopped my diet. I have been playing with the same 5 lbs since then.

My last glutening was May 15, My birthday.

I generally don't have cravings. If I do, there's usually a reason for it. For example, some weeks ago, I craved tomatoes and parsley. The nurse thought I was lacking in potassium and magnesium and told me to eat these very things. I can eat refried beans pretty much any time. Those always sound good. And lately I've been eating Ian's chicken nuggets for lunch pretty much every day. They are quick to heat and easy to digest.

the only cravings I get occasionally are for sugary foods. I will try to stick to fruit when this happens, or if I have them, a couple "enjoy life" cookies. I notice that if I keep my brain occupied with something else I dont think about food or really even get hungry. I think being diagnosed with celiacs makes us think about food all the time and it is always on our minds, so naturally it may make you want to eat and make you think you're hungry. I actually dont get truly hungry like I used to on gluten. Actually, when I'm ay work I can go for the whole 8 hours and not really feel like I have to eat because I'm focused on work, but I make myself eat something. When I was on gluten I would be starving if I didnt eat in 8 hours, and still not be satisfied after eating.

I was ubber hungry for the first month or so on the gluten-free diet and then it leveled off.

I dont crave food anymore. I crave health!
