[QUOTE="Gork, post: 1750206, member: 470595"] I have realized that when I don't eat, I do not miss food and am not hungry. Once I eat, almost anything, anything goes. It is like I cannot stop. Never feel hungry though, even after 24 hours. Then, if I feel weak, a good meal is in store. I can go all day without eating especially if I am away from food. I teach two mornings a week so I get up, go to class, get out around 1pm and am not hungry. The longer I wait to eat, I don't have any drive to eat. Once I have dinner, it is all out cleaning out the refrigerator. If I deliberately not purchase food to have in store, it is obsession to eat all night and sleep is prevented. I go to sleep, all seems to get reset and I wake up not interested in eating until I eat something. It starts all over again. I recall going 36 hours or so once in a while. For a while there, I would come home from the University and sometimes my tenant has cooked leaving the sink full of dished (I do have a dishwasher) and the stove oily. He eventually cleans it all up but not before I have lost any interest in preparing anything. After about a week or so, my glucose levels have leveled off, I have lost weight, and three months of it, my A1c is mid 6 or so. We finally had a talk about it and now I am back to my unhealthy cooking and A1c is out of control again. Go figure.... [/QUOTE]
