    1300 calories is probably way too low for you, is why.

    I pre plan my meals for a week , I am feeding 2 kids and a husband that loses so much weight at work in the summer he has to eat EXTRA calories everyday, I shop once a week all dinners are planned for the week! Lunch is usually my down fall I think , I like sitting down with a bag a chips after cleaning the house or shopping or whatever and eating while I watch TV .. Note to self I gotta stop that ! I ate dinner at 6 pm , its 8:30 and now I'm hungry I want to eat something, so now I'm getting cranky , gonna go drink a glass of water , maybe that will help ??

    Skipping the chips at lunch is HARD! To stop from eating at the end of a meal, I started doing Sudoku. I know it sounds weird, but it helps me. I do it in the evening when everyone else is snacking as we watch TV. You might try knitting or crochet, but I can't do those.

    Im not sure if anyone mentioned this yet but if you make the changes suggested by others and still feel hungry all the time you may want to get your thyroid gland checked out by your doctor to make sure its working right and regulating your hunger signals correctly.

    I eat at least six meals a day, that's three main meals and two snacks. I also drink half my body weight in ounces of water, so I'm about 134-140 depending and I drink 70 oz of water a day. This seems to help and it also helps your body adjust. Do not starve yourself, that just sets yourself up to fail.

    I am queued in to my cycle - I get cravings like I did when I was pregnant, I usually will let it fly on those days , but that is usually when I fall of the wagon so to speak! This month I'll be ready for it !!!

    Up your calories and exercise on the days that coincide with your cycle hungry days. that helps me fro totally losing my mind on those days.
