What do you eat?
Daily calorie goal?
Height?
Weight?
Are you drinking enough water?

Eat foods that are high in volume, but low in calories - veggies and chicken/turkey for example. You also get used to eating less over time. If you find your calorie limit seems too low, step down gradually over a period of a few weeks. Eat a hundred calories less a day for a week, then step down another hundred each week until you reach your goal. Adding in some exercise will buy you a few hundred calories - that always helps.

Honestly, sometimes you just have to suck it up and get used to being a little hungry now and then. It won't kill you. Good luck!

I am like that too where I can eat and eat and still be hungry. I've come to the realization that if I don't want to gain the weight back and want to continue to lose weight I'm just going to have to live with always feeling a little (or sometimes a lot) hungry. I'm sure in the end if I reach my goal weight it will feel worth it but right now it sucks...

I was that way also. I never felt satisfied until I felt bloated or stomach pain. I was eating ridiculous amounts of food. I could eat 12 tacos or 6 cheeseburgers or 3 footlong subs.

After eating considerably less for a while, I found that I couldn't tolerate that much food anymore. I overate a week ago and had 6 tacos...I felt sick and miserable and that's only half of what I used to eat. After eating less for a while, your stomach will shrink and you just won't have the capacity to overeat as much as you used to.

Yep. I've gone to bed hungry a lot, especially on days when I didn't make the best choices.

But overall, make sure you eat enough, and fill up on veggies and protein, and avoid refined carbs as they don't fill you up for the calories.

appetite and hunger are two different things.

Hunger means you need more food...and if you are eating the right foods (lots of protiens, fibers etc) you wont be as hungry.

Appetite on the other hand well that requires self control...
