I swear I can eat anything in site right now. I am starving... I had a huge lunch and shouldn't be this hungry.... TOM is just around the corner but it seems to be worse this month on hunger and energy levels... I am excercising 6 days a week. I stay generally within my calories for the day and eat most of my excercise calories. Anyone have any suggestion? Especially for the hunger part?? I don't want to go home tonight after work and eat everything in site!! :angry:

  • Try going for a walk, eating some carrot sticks, almonds anything healthy. Give in to your cravings a little. Don't eat something else to cover it. If you want chocolate have a small piece. Try staying away from the food. Go walk the mall or walk outside. Lock all your snacks in the car or at a friends house.

    chewing gum works for me

    snack on lighter calorie stuff like carrot sticks or celery
