EH and hunger cues, uh… how’s that?

ED Question

Recently been trying to honour my physical/mental hunger more (kind of scary but also like. It’s easier when you do it and realise that oh, nothing insane actually happens when you eat more sometimes). So kind of a win, even if it makes me uncomfy and sick sometimes, great!

One issue I do want to ask u guys about tho is EH and appetite. My family is sort of still working with a meal plan for my recovery (like a general minimum at each meal/snack, around a general time) but now that I’m trying to honour the hunger more my appetite is ALL out of whack.

This is a little bit of an issue when I eat a lot at one meal and the time the next meal rolls around, I’m still full from the last meal and don’t feel physical or mental hunger. I’m not really sure how to explain it to my parents either, I’m still feeling kind of embarrassed and don’t know how to approach them with this extreme hunger stuff.

So do I honour my hunger and toss the general meal plan? Or the other way around? I do admit I like the structure of the plan most of the time, and I do like being able to enjoy a meal with my family when they are also dining. But sometimes I’m still more hungry, and then eating more messes me up for later. What to do?

Stories, tips, thoughts?
