It’s normal for folks to ignore their hunger because of diet culture. And yet what isn’t normalized is the acknowledgment that this directly undermines our health and wellbeing. Because honoring your hunger is the key to becoming a more Intuitive Eater and an expert in your own body. Due to our culture’s contradicting views on health, some people lose the ability to recognize hunger naturally. When people severely limit their food intake, their bodies eventually stop being able to identify the feeling of comfortable hunger. Hunger is the body’s biological response to needing fuel; similarly to breathing, it’s an impulse vital to survival. Yet, some people are unable to recognize the basic need of hunger until it becomes more urgent and extreme hunger. Keep your body biologically fed with adequate energy and carbohydrates. Otherwise, it can trigger a primal drive (physical and psychological - an urgent and intense desire to eat - often results in overeating. Honoring this 1st biological signal with comfortable hunger sets the stage for rebuilding trust with yourself and food.
Hunger is not bad - it’s not something to fight off or ignore. What does hunger feel like to you? When your body is hungry, it tries to get your attention in various ways.

Where you are functioning at the most optimal level physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. What if the weight gain actually saves your life? What if weight gain, health-promoting behaviors, self-care, and body acceptance work, will help you get to the best version of yourself?
— would you do it? Would you commit to recovery? It's necessary to unpack those fat phobia beliefs, as they are not facts and can change! "Change how you look at things, and the things you look at change." Educate on HAES, Body acceptance.
Follow people of all shapes/sizes that have done the work and are happier and healthier than they've ever been in their life. The clinicians at BBN are here to support you during your recovery. You do not have to take this next step alone.

Many often try to “fix” this by putting in more restrictions and food rules to try to gain “more control” Some signs of compulsive overeating/binge eating may include:
Eating what most people would think is an unusually large amount of food in one sitting.
Eating much more quickly than usual and a feeling being out of your body - numbing experience.
Eating past satiety or until feeling extremely uncomfortably full.
Eating despite already feeling full or not feeling hungry at all.
Eating alone due to shame or embarrassment about the quantity of food consumed.

The diet cycle is a vicious one. You may be looking back over the diets you’ve done in the past that have “worked", albeit temporarily, convincing yourself that it was your lack of willpower that did you in. Think about all things you have tried in an effort to "fix" your body. This includes diets, punitive exercise plans, medications, detoxes, and cleanses.
- How did those attempts move you toward fixing your food and body image issues? - What happened after you stopped using those strategies? - What did those strategies cost you - considering $$, energy, time, brain width, and emotional and physical state?
