i started about a month ago, walking cutting down on my food and using mfp, but recently ive hardly been able to finish a cup of soup without feeling way too full!
i used to eat maybe 3-4 sandwiches for lunch now i struggle to eat half a sandwich,
is there something i am foing wrong? is this what ill be able to eat from now on hardly anything? is it going to cause long term trouble?
some advise would be amazing!
i know it probably seems stupid but im new to all of this! i was a huge eater!
ive even stopped eating junk food and soft drinks & havent missed them at all!

    When I stopped eating the junk food, soft drinks and other sugary things I found my appetite was less than when I did eat those things.

    I'd like to not have an appetite. What's Mfp?

    I assumed that MFP = MyFitnessPal (ie this site).

    I can't see your food diary. Are you low-carbing, on purpose or maybe accidentally?

    Fewer carbs for me = less insulin response = less hunger.

    i generally have 1 slice of vegimite toast for breakfast, a salad sandwich ( cheese ham lettuce) for lunch and a cup of soup for tea. im not sure how you can view my diary?

    Vegemite - hello, fellow Aussie.

    It's in your settings, but doesn't matter - you clearly aren't low-carbing, so that answers my question.

    I'm the same! Started MFP on 2nd Jan.

    I am low carbing in so far as I cut out bread and breakfast cereals - but I did it because I feel so much better and I've no bloating, but thats the extent of low carbing. I will eat some potatoes, wraps for lunch etc.

    My allowance is 1200 calories a day. I could easily eat lunch (home made wrap and yogurt) and go home, and not eat anything else, but I make myself have some sort of dinner.

    I eat eggs/nuts/fruit for breakfast.
    Approaching lunch time when everyone else is complaining of the hunger, I'm fine! I am eating my daily calories though.
    Its mad the way your apetite just disappears?
