I was starving this am and pretty much the whole day. I am also a little down. Do you think it is the hormones. I have lost 13 pounds on my journey of losing 54. I am inspired by your positive attitude on this forum!
Sometimes -- in times of particular hunger--I'll have a hard boiled egg or an extra packet of peach/mango drink.
I also find things a bit tougher when I am feeling down. If I need to munch, I will make a salad...a big one of greens and seasonings I like.
And I try to get busy with doing something. Idle time sometimes leads to fretting for me...which can lead to problem eating.
Lots has been learning how to better manage myself...take myself away from situations where I have to make choices.
