Had a hard time today but think I will get thru till dinner..........

I was so hungry today- I think I was going crazy food seems to just be on my mind. I ended up snacking on sugar free jello, broth, and chips ahoy crisps 100 calorie paks. And tons of water. I am finally not hungry, oh yea, and a salad with walden farms dressing zero calories, no sugar.......... I cannot wait till dinner. When is this going to get easier, maybe I am just being obseesed becuase I just started . I keep telling myself I did this once I can do it again. Lunch I had 3 egg whites and 4 slices of turkey bacon and 2 slices of light oat bread. Please tell me it is going to get easier.. I need some inspiration.........

it does get easier - your stomach is just used to larger quantities of heavier food.

When did you start?

Try drinking hot tea - it squelches the hunger for me.

It DOES get easier. Give your body some time to adjust. When I first started, I was constantly hungry. I found drinking water does help.

If you would eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day, it helps with the hunger. Saving up points so you can splurge on something is not very safe. When you're hungry, it's your body telling you you need fuel - it's like the gas light coming on in your car. By starving yourself, you're playing with your blood sugar levels and your metabolism...

You r right about starving yourself, that is why I am eating smaller more frequent meals. I am dying for 1 slice of pizza.
I had to get on the scale this morning I was so curious to see if I lost anything, - I lost 2 pounds... I am sure it is all water but every little bit of weight loss counts. I am not going to see if I lost anymore until the end of next week.
