I'm in no way in danger of experiencing food scarcity at the moment - I am very lucky to be able to access a wide variety of foods that I can enjoy and also fit within my morals.

For a couple of weeks, due to some very poor decision making and a poorly cat, money was a bit tighter than I'm comfortable with, so I did a lot of batch cooking and was eating similar basic meals (mostly chilli/curry) every day. I never went without and still had access to 'treats' but it was like a switch flipped in my head and I started eating past comfortable fullness every day. I'm still doing it though the money situation is currently OK, and I have plenty of food in the house. It's not a conscious thing either, it took me quite a long time to figure out why it was happening - even now I'm not entirely sure.

I'm not angry at myself or judging myself but it is uncomfortable physically and very irritating when I've bought a pack of something that would normally last a week and it's gone in a day or two. I know logically the answer is to just feed myself and let my body and brain know consistently that we're not going hungry and ride it out. I'm also really anxious that it's not going to stop and I'm going to want to eat forever because that's a really unpleasant feeling.

I just. I've never experienced this before and it's a side effect of my eating disorder and recovery that never even occurred to me. I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this and had any ideas to make this a less difficult experience?
