Food...for the stomach this time....

Seriously, am I going to stop eating like this at some point?  11pm and I'm on like my 5th full meal of the day? And starving! Its every day now. Never have i had an appetite like this! Whats the connection to detoxing and eating like this?

OMG!! I gained 10lbs in the last 111days. Early on I ate a box of fiber bars,,,not a good idea during detox. Talk about a colon cleanse. Then Id eat a box of twinkies in one sitting. Im still always hungry and then Id make myself puke cuz I felt guilty about eating so much,,,I quit that and soon hope to get on a diet. I feel so disgusted with myself and being that I am petite 10 lbs looks like a 100lbs on me. My underwear is tight! Im NOT buying a bigger undercarriage!! Oh and I spilt my pants twice the last week at work. It really ***** but I can only fix one thing at a time-eh? LOL~Bkitty

Well, eating 5 full meals a day kinda goes hand in hand with gaining weight lol so even tho u didn't specifically mention weight gain the ideas the same. It's good for you tho, so eat it up, just eat semi healthy!

Excuse me, I don't believe I addressed weight gain ....but I will now 6kid Popsicle....(I love that one!) .... Actually I am gaining weight but you know one of  the strangest things I could never understand is ... And way off subject ....sorry Moderator Emily ;) ....but if you hold a 1 kilo piece of cooked meat in your hand and stand on a scale then you weigh 1 kilo more than without it,  obviously.....but eat that piece of meat and get weighed and you won't find that extra kilo.  So after eating like I have been i am probably putting on a pound a day. I'll go 10 more days than stop.

are you craving for junk food ? ...sugar  ? one of the connections might be with the dopamine levels, not only you need time until your brain receptors start producing serotonine, dopamine, etc ... in a " natural " way  but also all the new "gates" you have opened because of the use of opiates are craving for the  high dose of dopamine that you were injecting your brain with while taking the opiates thus they are asking you for some stuff to be feed LOL....The "trick" is not tricking your brain with a lot of of sugar and junk food nor alcohol but i know it is hard, i ate a lot of chocolate...anyway, it is quite harmless comparing to the opiates , ;)

I noticed that my appetite came back after I quit the pills. I wake up hungry and before I might not eat until 11 or so.  I have to be careful, because my brain confuses it with craving.  Need to eat to calm tummy and brain down. :)

       Food becomes a outlet for not using, sweets are sugar and this gives you a sugar high not to worry eating is good but try not to eat to much it will help the drug carvings.
