So I'm over a month into this and I'm still hungry ALL the time. I feel like I'm just not getting enough food and I still always want more. I'm also struggling with serving sizes. I always want more. I'm still craving big time.
I feel like I'm doing a good job with my food choices (mostly all whole foods). I've been eating oatmeal for breakfast with fruit or a few egg whites. I eat a small proteiny snack around 10ish. At lunch I eat a big bowl of veggies, with a protein, & carb. I have another small snack around 3ish. Dinner is basically the same principle as lunch. It usually ends up around 1400 cal/day. (I want to aim for less though because I still have yet to have consistent exercise.)
I also am drinking lots of water. I am chewing gum like crazy to try and keep myself from eating more.
I read a lot, that people say their cravings drop down, sweets make them feel ill, they just aren't as hungry anymore.....these things aren't happening with me. I'm still very much struggling and definitely not noticing much of a drop on the scale. In the last two weeks I haven't lost any weight. The week before was two lbs.
It's so hard not to give up. I want to do this, but I want it to work if I'm struggling so much. 0-.5 loss is just not helping the cause.
thanks for letting me vent.
I admire those who have succeeded so much.
