Three days ago I began trying to lose weight. I reduced my calorie intake and started taking long but moderately paced walks. I'm currently about 235 pounds and 5''6.
My questions is--will the hunger pangs I feel ever go away? I'm talking about the kind of hungry you feel in your stomach--that empty feeling that hurts and nags at you until you fill your belly.
Today I've eaten 1800 calories, but right now my stomach feels so empty. It'd be so nice to just eat a sandwich or something. I've read about the importance of picking a diet you can stick to, and I just can't imagine everyday feeling as hungry as I do now. Sometimes I'll be able to resist, but often I won't be able to.
Should I up my calories? I'm afraid that if I do I won't lose any weight.
Is this a phase? Will it go away? I really hate being hungry all the time!
