Even when I got used to feeling hungry all the time while dieting, I never got used to the fact that I was constantly tired and sleepy. I was way less productive than I had been while eating as much as I wanted to.
It was different when I took medicine that messed with my appetite. ADHD medication pretty much made eating optional. I completely lost the urge to eat when I was bored. If I paid attention I would be able to tell when I was hungry but if I was distracted by other stuff I would sometimes just forget to eat all day.
Interesting perspective, thanks. I tend to get mostly tired and less social when hungry, which is a really bad combination when you are with people who get loud and active when hungry. There are days where I have to remind myself that I am tired because I haven’t eaten, and that I will need food to continue functioning for a task. It’s a bit annoying when you know should eat, but cannot be arsed to go to the shop and buy stuff.

With adhd meds I couldn’t tell when I was hungry but still got more clumsy and hot headed when I was hungry. That wasn’t great
I’m used to feeling sleepy and tired. It’s feeling cold that I hate. I’m dieting in the middle of a heat wave and I’m shivering so much!
