Recently I haven't been wanting to eat as much... or rather not as much as I used to. I get full a lot easier, and too much food has started grossing me out. This has been nice, since I haven't been running much lately (I need to get in the habit of running when it's warm out!), and I've been steadily losing/maintaining.
I'm pretty happy that I've been cutting back naturally, even though I haven't really conveyed that yet. Anyone else have that happen to them?
Absolutely! It's not consistent for me, but I definitely have days like you are describing. They balance out the white-knuckle days where it's all I can do to stay on plan.

Ohh. I see. I dunno though I really wish I wanted run, but I just haven't felt like it. Maybe I'm stressed?

Aww... I'm sorry... Maybe you'll randomly have this phase one day!

I am with Laurie, some days I feel like I could eat a whole grocery store, but other days (like today) I get full a lot easier and don't feel the need to eat as often. It's just inconsistent.
I also get sick at the idea of eating such large quantities of food anymore. Sometimes I think back and wonder how the heck I ate so much at one time- the way I used to before I started losing weight.

Yes, I am experiencing the same thing, especially at breakfast and lunch. At dinner I tend to want to eat more, but it is more out of habit than hunger, so i am learning to cut things back there too. When I do overeat I feel totally sluggish.
Spiritix - i have same thing happening. I feel if i take another bite that i am going to toss it. i have been getting concern about this because i endup like 500 short of my target calories. Just trying to add a few more nuts is such a turn off.
This is only my fourth week of dieting and i am guessing that it is my body adjusting to changes.
It's happened to me, although it took years for my appetite to gradually dwindle down. On the other hand, I also eat more often than the good old regular 3 meals a day. So I can't eat much in one sitting, but I get hungry again fast--or something like that.
I'm never grossed out by food, but I definitely have cycles of more or less hunger. Some of it is hormonal, some seems random. But yesterday, for example, I had a snack and dessert and still came in 200 calories below my target. Other days I'm spending a fair bit of time maximizing every bite because I know it won't be easy to stay in range. This has happened throughout my journey, so I just eat to hunger with the best choices I can make when I need more, and make sure to maximize nutrition on the days when nothing gets my appetite going.
I can relate too. Sadly in the past week in struggling with being hungry all the time. I don't get it....4 months and 70lbs later.. Why am I feeling so hungry!?!
Appetite changing...
Anyone else have that happen to them?
