Successfully maintaining but always hungry

springlering62

Have been pouring over this thread. I’ve been in maintenance since e last fall, except a brief period around the holidays when I upped my weight seven pounds after getting too thin.

The last month, particularly the past week or two, I’m always hungry. I saw myself in the mirror this morning and realized I’m getting pipecleaner arms again.

Am going to hold my nose and up my calories a couple hundred a day and see what happens.

It is stressful. Even though I know now how to cope if it weight goes up too much, it goes against everything I’ve done the last three years to go up again.

This is particularly difficult because my husband has just come on board. Because he’s sedentary and in deficit, he already gets considerably fewer calories than me. I already feel like I’m “sneaking” snacks so I don’t eat in front of him.

you can manipulate your weekly calories to fullfil those hunger issues and yet u will stay within you caloric budget.
for example, your daily calories are 2000, that will make it 14,000 cal per week. instead of eating daily 2000 cal you can eat less in some days like Saturday Sunday with 1500 cal, and add them up on Monday, will be 3000 cal for Monday. you might feel more hungry on Saturday and Sunday but more satisfied on Monday
