What are some reasons why people are afraid of feeling hungry?

Ask yourself why hunger is so frightening or uncomfortable. What are your beliefs about it? What will happen if you let yourself get hungry?

Here are a few I've come across in my travels: If I let myself get hungry, my blood sugar will drop, I'll get shaky, and I won't be able to function: I'm not talking about extreme hunger that impacts your energy level or blood sugar. I'm talking about allowing yourself to experience a natural physical sensation that's cueing you that your body is ready to eat a meal. If let myself get hungry, I'll eat everything in sight: This is a story you've told yourself to keep yourself from seeing the real truth about hunger.

It may be true that you've let yourself get very hungry and have then overeaten in the past, but again, I'm not talking about that crazy, chew-your-own-hand-off kind of hunger. Hunger and overeating don't have to go together unless, of course, that's what you believe and you turn it into a self-fulfilling prophecy. Hunger is too uncomfortable.

I can't bear it: Is that really true? Or are you imagining a scary future and tying it to your concept of hunger? Try letting go of your assumption and allowing yourself to get hungry.

See what happens.It's too scary. I can't let myself go there: Ask yourself, "What am I afraid of? Is it starvation?

Is it discomfort? What is so frightening about letting myself experience hunger?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
