Early on, I would keep having my usual knee-jerk reaction when I drove past a fast-food joint. Esp. In n Out--I thought I needed a double-double with fries and (of course) a diet coke. What I wanted was instant comfort, solace. It takes a long time, and reflection on what we're actually feeling, to recognize what hunger is.
Sometimes I still don't know, but I'm still working on it...
Don't worry, just keep paying attention to what your body is saying.
Every good wish,
Anita
