Hunger Revelation

I had a dieting revelation today. My wife mentioned “why don’t you just eat when you’re hungry?”, and I didn’t have a good answer. My issue is that I always feel like eating, but I don’t think I really know when I’m hungry. Somewhere, probably early in childhood, I lost the ability to know how much to eat and what I was really hungry for.

What I’ve figured out, however, is that perhaps for me it’s best to eat only once my stomach has growled (once or even twice). This is definitely a physical sign of hunger. Unfortunately it’s WAY past the point of me feeling “hungry” in my messed up mind.

What do you think? Do any of you have this same issue?
