When I first started I felt the same way. All this thinking about food, what was the difference between that and thinking about my next sugar hit! That too healed. I now am amazed that I plan a little ahead and then it maybe almost lunch time and I have not thought about food since breakfast. Keep doing breakfast and it will heal. As for snacking make sure breakfast is the 4 parts
1. Within an hour of waking (I do best with half hour)
2. Proper amount of protien for your weight
3. With a complex carb (oatmeal holds me better than wheat)
4. Everyday!

Keep doing the food and one day you will realize you don't need that snack. 1used to graze all day long so 3 meals was hugh. I couldn't go more than 4 hours at first now I can go 5-5 1/2. You will heal. Good job so far on you healing. Chloe
