Loud Food Voice

[FunnysInLaJardin]

For years I didn't realise that I had this. For years I have struggled with binge eating and emotional eating.

I would eat when I was happy, sad, bored, stressed, every reason.

I cut out UPF which helped, as I didn't feel so compelled to binge eat UPF, but I still binge ate everything else.

I read here the we have a loud food voice which compels us to eat and a quieter voice which tells us we are full. I also read that false hunger from the loud food voice could be ignored if you gave it time.

I haven't lost any weight, but by listening to my quiet food voice and not my loud one, it has helped me stop binge eating.

That in turn has hugely helped my mental health - no more guilt about binging - and also my sleep as I dont have indigestion at night and my HRT actually works.

Sorry if this is old news, but I felt I needed to get it down.

I have been toying with the idea of injections, but really don't like the idea of stopping and piling weight back on.

For reference I am a size 18, 5 ft 5 and about 15 stone.

I finally feel in control after about 40 years of yoyo dieting and utter nonsense

Firstly, bloody well done for gaining some control over your eating! That really can't have been easy, And it's positive to hear you are seeing the benefits already.

I've only heard about loud food noise (rather than voice) in relation to weight loss injections quietening down that noise. It's interesting to read about the quiet food voice, I had never really thought about it before.

Thank you @whatwasthatnoise . I think that for me food noise was too general and overwhelming, so to see it as a voice is more manageable.

Time will tell, but for now I can manage it.
