Not being fooled when full...

One of the newest feelings or sensations in my body is the sensation of being full after eating a meal where the food then simply digest and leaves my stomach and I then start to get hungry again. I found myself pretty much waiting to or expecting to get sick yesterday after pigging out on some home made vegetarian chili I made just after having two Hershey bars for a snack. For many years I ate in this fashion to survive. I would first overeat; then the food would just sit and sit in my stomach for hours until it would come back up. I figured some of the food had to be getting in me this way so I had to be getting some nutrition. No doubt that feeling of being full for hours mixed in with nausea is something that had become a natural habit with me. So just yesterday while sitting still after my huge meal I became aware of something new. I felt all this food in my stomach, but it was a different feeling then in the past. I felt full, but I already felt like things were digesting and moving out of my stomach. The feeling just kept going away until I hit the point where I wanted a whole milk and fruit smoothie. This sensation gave me a satisfied feeling in my stomach and I could feel the meal being digested. It is a whole new feeling in my body that I forgot existed; I need to eat with awareness so I don’t let myself be fooled by this wonderful feeling of being full.
