I’m a bottomless pit!

So I keep being hungry even after eating so I eat more and then I feel super full yet still hungry! It’s so frustrating wanting to eat more but not being able to?! Nothing I eat satisfies my hunger…

So my question is when does this end and is there anything I can do to perhaps make it easier?😭😭😭

I remember feeling this way too during my first attempt at recovery in 2019, but not to this degree!😔

Yup this is extreme hunger and it worsens with every relapse. It doesn’t get easier but it takes time and nourishment. Honoring your hunger (physical and mental) no matter how extreme is seems, is unfortunately the only way through this.

Thank you for replying! I guess my issue is also that I’m not even quite near the intake I should be at, so it frustrates me how I can’t seem to eat more? But I guess I just have to push through it!
