Venting
Started off the day wonderfully...over an hour at the gym, treadmill, bike, elliptical and some weight resistance exercises. Now? All I want to do is eat!!
I'm not sure if I'm physically hungry or bored.
Actually, I know I'm physically hungry, but other days, I'm not nearly as bad as I am today.
Here's hoping I can get through the rest of the weekend and the holiday without eating more than I'm supposed to.
Im hungry all the time :( It never went away at all. I am setting specific goals hoping to minimize it by taking my ppi, drinking all my water +, and getting in my protein, however it is super frustrating to be the exception when others have lost their hunger. One of the biggest challenges is I can barely eat a 2 oz and the physical symptoms I get from hunger (i.e shakiness) doesn't go away immediately from those 2 oz so I stop eating still feeling hunger and major frustration. About 10 minutes after I finish eating I feel better but an hour or two later it all starts up again. I am really struggling :( Best of luck to you!

I am a hungry chick too. Things I swear by... eat slowly. It gives our stomachs time to register that we are satiated. I can put down quite a bit more than most here, so this is important. It is ok if you get hungry 2 hours after you eat, this is kinda normal if you think about it. Plan for this... I would eat 6 times a day, measured portions that would hit my protein, fiber, and calcium targets. Protein first- this is especially important to help stave off hunger. If you eat only carbs at meals, you will be famished in no time and kicking off a nasty cycle. Don't get me wrong, I was not a low carb person... but mindful. Just take care building your good habits now and it will work out :0)
