Oh lord not again. I just updated the topic to reiterate what I said in my first post. Yesterday's example of waiting a long time to eat something was a bad example that gave the wrong impression. I don't wait that long to eat something, and I do eat a balance diet starting with a decent breakfast. My dairy fruit and veggies come with the meals I eat in a day. I registered on the forum to ask a simple question about my sweet tooth which occurs only after I eat a normal meal, not to be told I'm not nourishing my body like some anorexic person. MY BMI is on in the area of 26, not 17. Thank you to mars_0112 and freedomfrom for understanding what I was saying and giving me something to think about.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I think I gave the wrong impression in my initial post though - I certainly don't usually wait until the afternoon to eat my first thing but it seemed like the perfect way to illustrate the fact that I don't seem to want food until I've actually eaten something, regardless of whether it's 30 minutes after I wake up or 30 minutes before I go to bed. It's not even hunger that follows such late meals anyway, it's just a desire for something more, something sweet usually. Perhaps it just is a willpower and mental thing though. Early on in life we're always told that we have to eat all our food before we can have something sweet like dessert or chocolate etc. I guess my mind just got adjusted to that sort of pattern and has come to expect it to follow any meal. I do love to throw dinner parties and very frequently make dessert as a matter of routine. Perhaps I should make it a rule that unless I'm out at dinner or hosting a dinner party I shouldn't eat for 30 minutes after dinner. That way I'm not actually satisfying a subconscious craving, I'm actually eating something I want (which will hopefully occur less frequently than the cravings ;) ) |
