First, a brief history of me: I'm 43 years old. I've been on a million diets. Some of them worked. But I also have struggled with emotional eating and binge eating since I was about 12 years old. So, even when the diets work, inevitably, the weight doesn't stay off. I believe that the best approach for me is intuitive eating, because when I start to count calories or restrict carbs or whatnot, I get crazed and obsessive, and end up binge eating. Intuitive eating means listening to your body for hunger and fullness signals, eating what makes me feel good, and paying attention to my food. I've tried this a few times, but find that fullness and satiety signals are very hard to detect.
Given that my weight struggles are not due to being hungry all the time, I'm skeptical that something like Sensa can work for me. But, ever the optimist, I've purchased a two-month trial. I did read from the online forums that many people have said that Sensa diminishes cravings and helps with binge eating. So, maybe? Plus the main purpose of Sensa is to give you fullness and satiety feelings, which is what I've found tough to sense ordinarily.
I ordered the two-month supply and paid for it (by paying for it outright, shipping was free, and there were some little packets included for free). I'm a little ticked that even though I was supposed to be getting expedited shipping, FedEx says it won't be delivered until July 17th. Given that I only have until August 8th to request a refund, that means I won't be able to fully sample it for a month to see if it's working. But we'll see what happens.
Note: I'm not being paid by Sensa to host this blog. I'm just a regular hopeless/hopeful dieter who wants to report her results here in a blog for all the world to see.
