The reason I decided to blog about this topic is because this morning I ran into the issue of finding myself hungry after a LARGE breakfast. I thought to myself, there’s no way I’m still hungry because this meal always fills me on other days.

I decided to drink some more water and wait to see if I was still hungry. Shortly after I went pee and noticed my pee was darker (Too much information, I know) but this was a sign. I wasn’t hungry, I was slightly dehydrated.

So I forced myself to drink more water even though I didn’t want it and then I ate a bowl of watermelon.

well I didn’t eat this whole bowl, but a normal serving

30 minutes later…. no hunger.

60 minutes later… no hunger.

In fact it took 2 hours until I was actually really hungry for a snack, so THIRST was the issue.

So while I could’ve overeaten and snacked more this morning I chose to use my body’s signals to figure out what I really needed instead of eating extra food for no reason at all.

This mistake happens all the time for me and I’m sure it’s happened to you as well. If we make sure to fuel are body with an adequate supply of water every single day we will help control our appetite and also regulate the amount of food we eat on a daily basis!!

Do you ever find yourself hungry after you just finished a normal size meal?
