Ok, I've read on here that some people experience hunger around the 4th or 5th week. I am starving!! I'm 100% OP, am still not allowed any restricted veggies or IP foods. I eat my meals and am full, but an hour or so later, I am really hungry, my stomach even growls. I am consuming lots and lots of water, way more than the minumum amount. I am taking the multi vitamins, cal/mag, and potassium/calcium when I am supposed to. I only use 1 splenda in the morning in my coffee. I rarely use WF products because I don't really like them. Maybe a drizzle of salad dressing every 3 or 4 days. I am eating lettuce with most of my lunches and dinners. Does this hunger go away again or will I feel like this for a while? I am missing the way I felt in the last 4 weeks for sure.
Keep your eyes on the prize Paint Lady...I remember my stomach actually waking me up in the middle of the night. It contracted and made such a strange loud noise that even the cats jumped up from slumbering beside me (at 3:00 am) to look around wondering what the noise was. Hunger comes and goes with this diet for sure just keep reminding yourself why you're doing this. As to the cold, OMGosh I'm always COLD now...:/ Originally Posted by Paint Lady

The kids were so glad to get out of the house and I was very thankful of that as well. We slept with the windows open last night. I am actually cold this morning. I am sitting at the computer wrapped in a blanket drinking my coffee. Ok, I've read on here that some people experience hunger around the 4th or 5th week. I am starving!!

I just finished reading the Beck Diet Solution this weekend...what a fantastic read/listen. I listened to it while staining 200 feet of fence in my yard (UGH!). Three days of staining and still not completely done (one more coat on one section that's just to much in the sun). Anyways, about the book! lol I will listen to it numerous times but it's something that EVERYONE should listen to (or read). Go get it and read it, or download it and listen to it...W-O-W. She makes so much sense...it's a book about cognitive behaviour - changing our behaviour in relation to food.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
PS - very good weekend as my football team finally won a game (sorry Sherwood had to share...tee hee)
