Today, I realized that my diet has gone completely bust. If I try to limit the amount of food that I eat, my stomach is growling and keeping me up at night, when my sugar isn't crashing and turning me into a food vacuum cleaner eating everything in sight. I'm not starving myself, I'm trying to control my portions. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I started a diet to lose the 20lbs I put on during quarantine. It was also the day my body decided the diminished food intake means I'm trying to starve it to death, and must be punished with a horrible migraine. That's what I get for trying to be healthier. FML
Today, thanks to my eating habits as of late, I went half the day without getting hungry. I ultimately figured out this just happens sometimes, so I didn't worry. However, as soon as I crawled into bed, I got hungry. I now have two options: I can either stay awake from hunger, or stay awake from eating too late. FML
Today, everything I eat makes me sick, so I don't know what to eat anymore now. My BMI is low and I'm absolutely starving. I can't even eat rice. FML
Today, I suddenly became really hungry at 11pm. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but I have no snacks and everything is closed. Also, being hungry exacerbates my insomnia. Words cannot describe how miserable I am right now. FML
Today, I had a dream in which I was eating vast quantities of pizza, cookies, and pastries. I became so anxious about all the calories that I woke up. Even in my dreams I'm self conscious about my diet. FML
Today, I got told I was too fat and needed to stop eating, because I need to lose weight. I was then given a full plate of food and had to eat it all. FML
Today, after carefully keeping track of what I was eating and trying not to turn into a midnight snacker in order to lose weight, my sugar crashed at around 10:30pm. Before this I had two high protein bagels (at around 6:30pm) and a whole pint of fresh blueberries (at roughly 8pm) yet my sugar still crashed. FML
Today, I began to daydream about going on a diet and losing some weight. As I did so, I unknowingly reached for a giant bag of chips and ate the whole thing. Now, I have stopped daydreaming and am sitting alone and depressed. And I'm all out of chips. FML
Today, I found out that I eat candy in my sleep. For two months I've been dieting because of my weight and high risk of diabetes. I now know why nothing has changed. FML
Today, after two full months of trying to gain weight, I haven’t gained a single pound. Instead, I now have severe and irreversible digestive problems from overeating. FML

If you're not diabetic, your sugar should not be crashing. Maybe see a doctor and see if something is wrong.

If it's just a question of food amount, you can eat big bowls of vegetable soup or salad three times a day, with a little side of lean meat and/or half a cup of rice/bulgur/pasta or a slice of whole-wheat bread. If you feel like a food vaccuum cleaner, eat vegetable sticks or fruit cubes.

I have same issues and i’m not diabetic. Just have a medium impact job with a shitty body falling apart. I have to still intake something like a few carbs to keep from passing out when i have to exert a quick burst of strength. It means your body is not efficient and if you are careful, you can over time ween yourself off the sugars till your body learns to utilize intake sustenance correctly. Sugar is one hell of a drug and more addictive than cocaine.

Start slowly. Change one thing and wait for two weeks, then change something else. Maybe buy slightly smaller plates to trick your brain.

If you're finding you can't limit the total amount of food you eat, maybe try making sure the food you do eat is more filling without adding too many calories. So things like fiber, vegetables, fruit, and protein, while cutting back on items with added sugar or lots of fat.
