feeling hungry!

[nicki26]

does anybody know if my body could actually be starting to feel hungry or is that impossible? i have been on the diet for 19 weeks now and lost 7 stone 5lbs when i got weighed last saturday,start weight 17 stone 13lbs....

i didnt know if it could be because i dont have that much body fat left to burn off for energy so my body is trying to tell me it needs more but i have felt like i have been hungry for a couple of weeks and has got much worse over the last few days

obviously i am not going to give in so close to target as only have two-three weeks to get to target but it is getting me down a bit

hmmmmm no comments,guess nobody has any idea why i feel like this,looks like i am the only one to experience this, night guys xxxx

nah i often felt like that, normally if i was bored, i think its just your head playing with you x

[nicki26]

thanks, probably is, just never really felt like this before, maybe its psychological knowing that i am nearly there... thanks xxxx

are you thirsty? try drinking a belly full of water, delightful i know but may help.

what is your bmi now? if it has dropped below 20 you may have found your ideal weight already. check with pharm for advice too.

i sometimes get hungry but i find lots of water and a coffee helps.

hope you feel better soon.

thankyou, i do try and fill up on water but cant take the full two litres anymore as it really hurts my stomach..my bmi is only just at 25 i think and have around 10lbs til i reach goal, i will just have to plod along n hang in there, if i can do it for 5 months i am sure the last couple of weeks will fly by...'fingers crossed'

thankyou for your suggestions xxxx

Hey sweetie, hope you're feeling alright today. When feeling hungry try and have a warm drink as it swells the intestinal tract (so I've read) and makes you feel full. I used to do this all of the time and it definitely worked for me hun

I get this sometimes and I drink warm water out of a water bottle, seems to fill me right up x

not a hot water bottle i hope that would look very odd indeed!

great suggestion rainbow, i might try that.

yeah niki, hope you are feeling better, its funny but when i had a large glass of water the other day i had really bad tummy ache after, so i try just sipping now, and mixing shakes with more water.

food luck, i am sure you are looking great and those last few pounds will drop off you soon!

thanks everyone, i am feeling ok, it is totm 'again' periods seem to of gone awol since being on the diet, so i dont think thats helping the hunger and feeling a little low, i am going to put the kettle on after my vanilla shake with coffee n ice n just relax for a little while, then off shopping....xxxxxx
