I constantly want to eat. I just always want to eat. Even when I’m full. Even if I’ve had a meal 2 hours ago.
It’s not a satiety thing. It’s not a “eat more fiber and more protein thing”. When I eat more fiber and more protein, overeating becomes more physically challenging but mentally I always want to eat. And it’s not even like I’m denying the types of food i want to eat. If I want a sweet treat, I’ll have it. But in the back of my mind I’m always thinking about gorging on something. Binging on something. I want to eat less healthy, less fiber, less protein so it’s easier to stuff more food into my stomach.
Is my only option to keep on suppressing my appetite? Is the only way to deny my cravings? Because self inhibition takes effort and I’m genuinely afraid of the day I become too tired to say no to myself. Or is there a way to naturally make my mind crave less food?
I know there are people out there who viscerally don’t want to eat when they’re full. When they’re not hungry they don’t even want a snack. Is it possible to become like that?
Or am I bound to constantly be pushing a boulder uphill?
For example, I have no problems with alcohol. My house is constantly filled with all types of alcohol but the thought of drinking doesn’t even cross my mind. Even when there are people over and everyone’s drinking, I rarely have an appetite for it. People bring wine as a gift and the only time I actually use it is for cooking. But I know people who always think about drinking. They have liver problems, and they can’t stop themselves from drinking. If they do cut down, they’re suppressing their desire to and there’s always a little voice in the back of their mind. I just want to be the way I am with alcohol but with food instead. Is that possible or am I just naive enough to wish it can be achieved?
PS. I take caffeine and l-theanine pills everyday, and I eat well enough that there’s no possibility I’m malnourished or anything. And I’m not heavy or sick enough to be prescribed GLP1 medications even though I wish I could be.
