    Ah - the black hunger. I'm feeling this right now. I've already had two cups of pasta and am a few hundred over my calorie amount for the day (I'm fine with that - I had an awesome run today). But seriously, I was never this hungry before my metabolism started working. I also get hot during the day - a significant accomplishment for someone with hypothyroidism.

    Anyways - the hunger is a great sign. I like how Kiki put it best!

    I agree if it growls and you have drank water then it's a sure sign you need food!

    The monster is growing right now. I am afraid if I feed it, it will just keep coming back (kind of like my ex wife)

    Yup I am starving too! I had a BIG lunch at 1 pm and when I got home from work at 5:30 I was ready to eat my arm lol I have noticed in the last couple days how hungry I am. I upped cal 12 days ago to 1800, love love love the freedom to eat! I haven't lost but I really haven't gained either, gaining and losing the same 3 lbs which I had been doing anyways for the last 6 weeks at about 1400 cals. It's good to know the hunger is a good sign!

    Fruit Sugars I don't watch, and Carbs are good for you! well the slow release ones, like oatmeal, wholeweat bread and pasta, Yams., sweet potatoes and red in that order are good for you! stay away from the white stuff!

    cheers

    I'm eating more, hungrier, burning more calories... yet I haven't busted through this month long plateau! WTF lol


    Oh, it's coming, girl. You're showing all the signs (ravaging hunger, being an important one). The metabolism has to kick into high gear to start processing larger amounts of food. I always tell people to watch for that all important sign of HUNGER :love:

    That baby is on the WAY!

    You're experiencing the labor pains....... :laugh:


    Kiki

    Thanks Kiki! LOL you are hilarious. I'll check back in when I bust this sucker out!

    Just breathe through it sista!!! lol :huh:

    I was REALY hungry after this mornings work outs so instead of my usual Oats I decided on eggs.
    2 x Poached eggs on toast with a Laughing Cow Cheese wedge spread onto the toast. Very delish!! Hehe, and so filling!
    ....all for 300cals!!!
    I thought I'll be hitting 400 at least for the meal...just shows you.

    Dont stress about too much sugar if it comes from fruit...but saying that, also dont go overboard on fruit. I think a good limit is 2 or 3 a day.
    And yes, stay away from white carbs mostly, the whole wheat ones are much healthier to me. Also more filling.
    But a nice baked Potato with some cottage cheese is sooo good and actually very healthy. :)

    I was ravenous all day yesterday (even with eating 190g of protein), and BAM, dropped two "new" pounds this morning!
    (Today I had celebratory donuts....and cheddar bay biscuits....and pizza... yeah. Back to business tomorrow.)

    This cracked me up! Celebratory donuts....:laugh:

    I'm going to have to give myself plenty of calories for nighttime as I'm starving after dinner at night. I learned that the hard way last night!
