Its Too Hard to be Too Hungry

Teaching yourself that being hungry is ok.  In fact, it might be necessary for our body's to relearn appropriate protion sizing and timing of meals.  However, their is a dark side to this concept.

If you allow yourself to become too hungry or, maybe more specifically, allow your blood sugar to drop too low, it can be really difficult to control your caloric intake.  Last night, I didn't get my last meal eaten at the normal time.  That automatically meant that the time period would be pushed back to another 90 minutes.  By then, I was pretty hungry.  I had a meal with me, a good meal that I was looking forward to. The problem was that meal came and went, and I did not feel satisfied.  I wanted more; more sweet, more indulgence, more something.

Luckily, I couldn't come up with a plan for that indulgence on the way home so no harm no foul.  Weight was the same 211.0.
