Head hunger is trying to sneak back into my life. I've always been a stress eater, eating was how I soothed myself. My sleeve gastrectomy stops me from overeating but it can't stop me from snacking and giving in to head hunger, I have to do that.
My DH has had a tough time with his health for the past two years in particular. In the past when things got bad, I ate, a lot. Now another problem has crept up and so has my stress. My urge is to eat. I'm not physically hungry but the head hunger is going full blast. I know it's a habit and a coping mechanism I've developed.
I've been having a hard time sleeping, another nifty side effect of stress for me. Last night I woke up at 2 am and couldn't got back to sleep. I was thinking about DH. The very next thought was what can I get up and eat. I wasn't hungry, it was just my old habit rearing it's ugly a** head. Fortunately, I talked myself out of it.
While weight loss surgery has helped me immensely and I'm thankful every day that I had it, it's not a cure all. There's still lots of work that I have to do to be sure that I don't sabotage myself.
