panic last night

[falon_17]

I had such a bad night last night. My New Year's Resolution was to not eat unless I'm hungry because I tend to eat out of boredom...no weight problem amazingly but figured I'd better control it before there is one. Anyway, I had lunch late around 2 pm and then napped with my toddler until about 5 pm, then dinner was ready at 6 and I wasn't hungry yet. I start to panic if I don't get hungry about every 4 hours. So I was getting nervous around 7 pm, took a shower and we had a small party with some friends and my boyfriend. I was getting more nervous around 9 when I still wasn't hungry and my stomach was feeling funny/nervous. Everyone was drinking but I was afraid to because it might upset my stomach more. So I was so nervous that around 11 I went to bed early and missed out on the fun at the party. About an hour later my bf came to bed and I woke up SO n*. All night I would wake up in a panic and seriously felt like I was going to v*. But then this morning I felt fine, was hungry too. I'm having such a hard time distinguishing between nervous stomachache and the real thing. If I could do that I would feel better when I'm nervous, which is ALL the time.


Anyway, better go. We have a monstrous line of storms headed this way and it's lightning outside...tornado warnings and all and it's just me and the toddler at home.

I am the same position as you - I don't know how to tell the difference between the sensations. I hate it! I don't know ever know when I'm hungry and I know a clock won't tell me, so I don't even attempt to trust that... because my mind and stomach will win over.
