Would You Rather Feel Cold or Hungry?

One thing to get used to on this much healthier diet is the sensation of hunger. While I was still ingesting copious amounts of refined sugars, prior to beginning this diet, all I ever felt when it was time for me to eat was the sensation of being freezing cold. After I would eat the feeling would not only remain, but it would for a time intensify. Andrew suggests that this may be indicative of my being hypoglycemic like my mother. This morning I awoke with a pain that started at the top of my stomach and pulled all the way to the very bottom of it. Something tells me that's what real hunger should feel like, unlike the sensation you get when you're strung-out on junk. If that's the case, I would personally rather feel hungry than cold.
