Why am I hungry all the time?
If you find yourself thinking, "Why am I hungry all the time?" you may be confusing "head hunger" with "body hunger." If you're someone who's sensitive to food cues, weight management will be challenging until you are able to recognize the overeating triggers in your environment and break the associations that lead you to overeat simply out of habit.
Let's take a look at just a few of the common overeating triggers and strategies for coping more effectively with head hunger.
MEDIA: Food is everywhere in television and magazines (ironically often right next to the articles about the latest wonder diet!)
Strategy: Get yourself a glass of water during commercials, avoid watching programs that focus on food and skip quickly over the food ads and recipes. Break the habit of eating while watching television—usually a mindless, high calorie activity.
So if you've wondered, "Why am I hungry all the time?" it's time to develop new strategies. By learning to recognize and decrease your overeating triggers, distracting yourself and coping effectively with head hunger, you'll soon break free from old habits. You'll find yourself eating less, feeling more satisfied and more fulfilled.
