I did not eat a huge amount — no binging or anything, no crazy sweet candy or mad fried foods — but I finished my bowl of raviolis and ate a small cookie for lunch (although I did throw the second cookie away). I had a 6″ veggie sub and some chips for dinner, along with a beer. In writing this out, I’m realizing that I did not quite stuff myself as much as I thought I did, which is just another example of how SLD can mess with your head! I really felt as if I was out of control , but apparently not. And no, I actually wasn’t starving, and I did not experience any dreaded cravings, either. Just…hungry. But then I ate and got…full.
I suspect the hunger has something to do with my increased activity level. I’m really starting to push myself on my runs, and that feels great, but it is also putting greater energy demands on my body. You would think the 9 hours I spend in a near-catatonic state at the day job would counter this, but no. Interesting, and I’ll be tracking how this develops, you can count on that.
