a little out of control
i recently lost a lot, a lot of weight. i use to weigh like 120 and now i weigh 94. i have always watched what i eat excessively. like, it's not even natural how much i watch what i eat. i would count every calorie that came NEAR my mouth. But, lately, it's like i've lost control. I don't know if it's that my sugar is REALLY low, which I do have low blood sugar because I'm hypoglycemic, but I've been wanting to eat everything in sight. It's horrible. I mean, the little bit of self control I have left is what's saving me. But, it's like I NEED sugar. I get cravings for brownies in the middle of the night. obviously, i don't have any because I don't buy brownies in my house. but, it's like, if they were there, i would have had them. and today, for lunch, i had ice cream and cookies with my sandwich. like, i know it's not going to make that big of a difference when you're 94 pounds. but, i use to have an eating disorder, and i would only eat 600 calories a day. i know it's not healthy, but I don't want to blow all the work I did. I mean, i go to the gym every day, but it's just that i'm so HUNGRY lately. Is there anything I can do to reduce my apetite? please let me know. you would be most helpful. Thank you.

go to a doctor before your eating disorder destroys your life. I "used" to have an eating disorder too. But one of the things they taught me in treatment was that it is an illness and an addiction, much like drugs or alchohol addiction. An addict is always an addict, but some keep that addiction in check. I repeat: go to a doctor please.

it's important to have a good balance in foods. That means you have to eat a lot of healthy foods such as meat and vegetables and fruits, but your body and brain also needs some sugar.
the fact that you are avoiding all sugar and sweets is building up to make your body absolutely crave it because you are deprived of it.
i recommend you keep eating healthy foods and get a lot of exercise but eat small portions of sweets every once in a while. Maybe just eat a brownie every other day or something but keep eating healthy and exercising and you will be fine.
hope i helped!!

There's a reason you've been feeling so hungry. It's because your body needs more food! And the fact that you have recently lost about 20% of your body weight certainly proves that. It's ok for you to eat more, in fact, I feel it is highly important that you do. Eat more of the same stuff you eat though, since I assume you eat very healthy foods. And I am not familiar with hypoglycemia so I can't give you very good advice on what you should do about your sugar cravings incase they aren't suitable for the condition you are in. That being said, I hope you are communicating with your doctor about your blood sugar and what you are doing to treat it. Good luck to you!
