I am still eating too much to lose weight. I'm not eating anything bad -- it's easier not to eat bad stuff when you're scared of getting sick -- but I'm eating too many calories. I seem to be hungry all the time ever since the cold snap started. I feel like I need to be eating something about every 2 hours. This is ridiculous, because I've never been someone who sat around snacking all day. I'm trying to go with the flow, because I know that so long as I eat fewer calories than I burn I'm ok, and I also know it's always better to do what your body tells you too, within reason. But this is getting a bit ridiculous. I think that if I am still in this mode after I spend a week at my sister's the I have to just take control and find a way to break the cycle --perhaps by eating a super high protein low carb week and see if that helps.

Try eating according to a schedule. 7 am-breakfast, 10 am-snack, 12pm-lunch, 3pm snack, 5pm dinner.

Get yourself a crossword puzzle book or set up a jig saw puzzle you will get so involved you wont even think about eating.

To stave off hunger, try drinking hot tea throughout the day. And for lunch or dinner, have a big bowl of vegetable soup (no bread, no crackers). Don't listen to your body to tell you what you need - it wants to maintain 170 lbs., so you need to override your cravings. Try substituting an activity when you want to eat; many people confuse boredom with hunger.

I am so there with you. This sounds exactly like me. I'm also eating exactly what I'm supposed to, just too much of it. Like you, eating the wrong things makes me very sick but too much of a good thing is still too much. We'll just have to hang in there. You offered to help in any way you could. I make the same offer to you. If I can do anything. In the mean time, we'll just have to take it one day at a time. Hugs!

Ok -- suggestions taken Thanks everyone. I already eat on a pretty set schedule, and I've already tried the big bowl of vegetable soup approach by the way, and it didn't work. So I will now try the hot tea suggestion. I am already busy all day so it's not like I'm sitting around thinking about eating. I will just push through this one day at a time.

Thanks, HCB and Mom and Johanne and everyone. I know I'm doing OK... just have to push through this bump in the road. It will feel so good to see a "16"on the scale, so I think I might be a big over anxious. Have a good day everyone.
