Re: The WORST thing about dieting...
Are you able to distinguish between boredom/habit hunger and real true HUNGER?
If you really are hungry all the time, maybe you need to adjust your caloric intake a bit.
(If the feeling usually passes within a few minutes, you may just need to fill those gaps with extra water and/or something to keep your mind off of it.)

I think with any diet there's an adjustment period, I found WW Flex points was good. it was ahrd the 1st week, but gradually you learn how to maximize your daily points.
Also, WW has a core plan where yu can eat until you're satisfied (no measuring!) but you can only eat foods off a 'core' list. (you do get some room for splurging each week though!)

I think it's real hunger. It's like stomach growling hunger. I was on the Special K twice a day, and being pretty good about measuring 1 cup twice a day, but when hungry I supplement it with pretzels and Oreos.

OK, so I read up on the core foods and they don't sound nearly as fun, but I just may try it...

First of all, from what I remember of seeing you - you don't need to be dieting, so you shouldn't be hungry.
Second of all, no - no diet that actually 'works' keeps you from being hungry, at least not for me. They all say they do, but they don't. Sometimes I wonder if all the thin people in the world are hungry all the time and they just got used to it.
Thirdly - and this will contradict #2 but - there is ONE diet where you aren't hungry: Atkins. But, of course the price you pay is no carbs.
Now go eat.

Aww well thank you. I only want to lose between 5-10 lbs, which I put on post-wedding, but I am having a really hard time with it. I guess I should be lucky because I never had to try to get weight off before now. I think I may try Atkins again. But I love bagels so much!

Re: The WORST thing about dieting...
I have tried so many diets, and I have found that Atkins was the only one where I wasn't CONSTANTLY hungry. I do think there's something to having more protein.

Re: The WORST thing about dieting...
I also hate dieting and I am always hungry too....But I have a lunch or dinner that will make you full and you can basically eat like 2 huge servings
its a sald w/egg whites chopped up(they sell the conatiners in a 3 carton pack and 1carton of it is 50 calories), then chopped up lean ham or turkey(they are prepackaged and 6 pieces is 50 calories), sometimes I add crab meat (you dont have to) and a few grape or cherry tomatoes and a few handfuls of a bag salad and a little fat free catalina or fat free french dressing
it is so good and filling

I was never hungry on South Beach. You're supposed to eat 3 meals a day and 2 snacks and dessert after dinner. You're supposed to eat until you're full but it's what you eat that counts.

Re: The WORST thing about dieting...
I did the special K thing before I got tonsilitis, so I'm not sure what made me lose the weight...
are you still eating a full healthy meal? Are you drinking enough---they say that thirst is often mistaken for hunger! Also- you can snack on fruits and veggies all you want-it's healthy snacks!
And I agree with Sandra-I don't think you need to diet----EVEN IF you put on 5-10 lbs post wedding (I think I put on ALOT more than that in my newlywed year!!)

Aww thanks. I just feel like it will only get harder to lose the weight. I want to get down to my wedding weight and I'll be happy. I think maybe I should be drinking more...I'll try that. Cutting out soda has been hard for me. I cut out bananas on the Special K, because even though they said you can have fruit, bananas are high in calories and I thought I might lose faster without them. And I now measure the Special K to make sure I don't go over the cup serving at breakfast or lunch.
