Hunger sucks.

I'm working on the very basic concept of waiting to eat until I'm actually hungry. This is very difficult for me. The idea is that if I'm hungry I will enjoy my food more. If I enjoy the food more then I'll be less likely to go seeking something more to eat.

This is very hard for me. The hungrier I am the more desperate I am. It's progressively harder for me to make a food choice and then eat responsibly. I don't enjoy my food more. I just feel trapped.

I'm not sure how to get out of this cycle. I know that I should eat only when I'm hungry, and stop before I'm stuffed. But I feel so out of control when I'm hungry.

I guess that's the answer. Find the feeling of control while I'm hungry, and I'll get this thing licked.
