I'm trying to figure out if this is physiological or psychological. I imagine that at the very least my inability to eat very much at a sitting before feeling very full is physiological. I'm also wondering why I wouldn't feel hunger at all any more - I do feel an energy crash when my body finally says "enough - feed me" - but not the feeling of hunger. I think so far David has said it best - eating is now a chore, so perhaps my brain is now saying "why bother?"
The real irony is that I love cooking, read and collect cookbooks and Food Network is my favorite channel! Even when I was at my sickest I watched Food Network through my Fentanyl haze. Lisa
